Leaving for NYC in 10 days and the sole (to reinvigorate my soul...lol) purpose is to see as many shows as we can. Two shows have closed recently we wanted to see so our list is smaller now 
. Below are the shows we are planning to see. I am posting because I haven't been to see anything on Broadway in several years and I wanted the educated views of all of you. For example have you seen these shows? What did you think? Good/bad/run away/run toward. Stage door experiences, rush/lottery seat locations, tips, tidbits, interesting facts, etc.... I am just so excited about going and I want to know everything everyone has to offer. Thank you all!
Promises, Promises
La Cage aux Follies
Billy Elliot
Memphis
Next To Normal
American Idiot
Night Music
May try to sneak in The Addams Family, Wicked, or Mary Poppins.

Promises: Stage door was really good, except Kristin hurt her toe and they took her for x-rays (she still did the show). We did get Sean Hayes and Katie Finneran. I think we would have gotten Kristin if the whole mishap did not occur.
La Cage: Stage door seemed pretty good for this as well, but a woman fell in the street and broke her hip. So Kelsey was not brought out. We did Rush for this, and the seats were pretty good I guess, my friend had to lean to see though.
I haven't tried anything else rush wise.
