For my sweet 16 I am bringing about 10 friends to a broadway show, but I don't know which one to see currently I am leaning toward Movin Out because I LOVE dancing but I am looking for something everyone could like. What do you guys suggest?

Mamma Mia or Hairspray

if you want a dancing show 42nd street might be fun.
you might be able to get cheap tickets being its closing in Jan.

I would consider Mamma Mia only my friend Sara Kramer is in it now and it might be a little awkward. Lol

Movin' Out!! It's amazing, and if you love dancing, you'll definately love the show.

If you like dancing you'll love Movin' Out, but Wonderful Town is also really really good. I haven't seen Wicked but I've heard really great things. I'm also 15 so this might help has far as what a 15 year old might like. If you're stuck, go see Wicked, I've never met anyone who didn't love it.
This is just me, but I didn't like Movin' Out so much. It was mostly dancing which is probably something that you'll like, but it wasn't my favorite.
I hope this helps.

well you can get 10 Wicked tickets together for like 2006, so unless you're 14 and are looking thatfar ahead...i'd go for Hairspray!

It depends - are they intelligent theatre fans or just people who are going to a show because you're paying?

If they love theatre and appreciate intelligent theatre:

'night, mother
Rent
Fiddler on the Roof
Pacific Overtures

If they're easily amused and don't care:

Bombay Dreams
42nd Street
Wonderful Town

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you waste your money on Dracula, Mamma Mia, The Lion King, or The Producers.

You said you like dancing - Wonderful Town and 42nd Street have pretty decent choreography - but for some reason the choreography of Bombay Dreams always makes me want to get up and join them. And it's not as bad as everyone says - it's much better than some things on broadway right nwo.
