I'd say see them all! 
But seriously, this is looking to be an incredible season.
Sweeney
and I would say The Color Purple, Drowsy Chaperone, Jersey Boys, and The Wedding Singer simply because it looks like they are all gonna go up against each other for the Tony.

Posted: 3/2/06 at 12:15pmSweeney, without a doubt. It is the best thing to play Broadway in a VERY long time. One of the best casts around, too.

see "Bridge & Tunnel" - it's really quite amazing...
and stay after at the stage door when you see Threepenny and say hello 
you'll have to guess who I am though... I will give you a hint: gin

I have really been leaning towards Jersey Boys and Sweeney for sure. Now I know that they are MUSTS. 
I really am excited and it is such an incredible season on the Great White Way. WOOHOO!

I would suggest Jersey Boys, Sweeney, Drowsy Chaperone, and of course Lestat. Great shows this season on Broadway...you'll have a great time anywhere. :)

I am pretty psyched. Getting Sweeney tickets today! And most likely buying my solo JERSEY BOYS ticket tomorrow. I am really excited.
I was in NYC last year at this same time and saw so many of last season's new shows.
And yes, I think DRS is so wonderful!!
