HOT as in popular or HOT as in good.
There is a difference.

I would have to agree with priest. I would also definitely suggest 42ND STREET if you haven't seen it yet, since it's closing in less than a month. Also, Alfred Molina's performance in FIDDLER is something that cannot be missed!

What's the status on CHICAGO, FIDDLER, WONDERFUL TOWN, and THE PRODUCERS right now? I live in Texas and get to NY maybe once a year. I want to see the big ones before I venture out to the smaller ones, if that's understandable. Or are these shows not so good right now? If so, we'll probably expand our horizons and see something else.

CHICAGO is still very much in good shape!
WONDERFUL TOWN isn't the same as it was with Donna, and I wouldn't say it's something you can't come to New York without seeing. You're not missing much.
I would say DEFINITELY catch Alfred Molina in FIDDER, especially if you're a fan of the show to begin with.

HAIRSPRAY and even sometimes THE PRODUCERS are a lot easier to get tickets to now than CHICAGO, believe it or not...

I just saw 'Wonderful Town' last thursday...it was just cute. Brooke put on a great performance, but totally copied off of Donna, I mean not to sound all "Wicked is the bestest show in the world!!!!", but JLT made Glinda her own instead of giving a cookie cutter performance. BUT other problems were the cast was ok, except for the blonde, she was GREAT! The first act was the longest act I have ever sat through, and the only good song in the entire show was "swing".
That said lol...If you want to see something new and fresh I would reccomend 'Brooklyn' or if you are looking for something more traditional (but still new/revival) I would see "La Cage" or "Pacific Overtures"!
