Hello All--
I tread lightly as I enter into this arena of discussion. I've seen how you treat some of us newbies, especially those with mundane questions that don't deserve repeating. I hope this isn't one of those such questions.
I'll make my very first trip to the Great White Way in March. I've already purchased tickets to Wicked, but I'm seeking your advice as to the second show I'll see.
I've seen my fair share of national tours, but never a show on Broadway. As you can imagine, I'm more than excited.
I'll tell you of my personal favorites that I've seen here in Kansas City so you have an idea of what I might like.
First, I LOVED Urinetown. Hands down, the most fun I've had at a show. The cast, the show, all were awesome. Second, Miss Saigon. The shear grandeur of the show made me want to stay in my seat forever. Third, I have to say RENT. Simply an amazing show, even though I've seen three different casts. All were excellent. Fourth, I am one of the sappy ones who fell hook, line, and sinker for AIDA. Again, it was emotional and the music took me away. Finally, I have to give kudos to The Producers. The "Leo" tour I saw really delivered.
To give you an idea of what I didn't like... Kiss Me Kate, CATS (non-equity), Contact (non-equity), Saturday Night Fever (who knows???), and (believe it or not), Chicago!
Anyway, I'm counting the days (60, for the curious) until I'm there. Your ideas for what I should see will weigh very heavily into my decision making, so please be a good ambassador to Broadway for me.
Thanks for your time. I'll see you soon.
