Please help plan V'day surprise

I would like to get tickets soon to a broadway show for my girlfriend and I for Valetine's day. I am trying to do this as a surprise so it is up to me to pick the show on my own (which I could use some help with).

Background: We are in our mid 20's and I know she has enjoyed The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast, and Phantom. We saw Rent (tour) together and she liked it but did not love it. I think those are the only ones currently on B'way she has seen.

My initial thoughts are that Avenue Q would be great, but not for this trip. Aida and Wicked seem to be my top choices right now. I see some negative comments on Aida, but if you think it would be good for a casual broadway-goer, like ourselves, let me know. Aida is in the running because it was recommended by a friend that lives in the City, and Wicked because I see a lot of people here seemed to really enjoy it.

thanks very much for whatever help you can provide.

definately! it's much more romantic than wicked

scud,
i agree that AIDA is prolly your best bet. from the shows that your girlfriend likes, plus the romantic storyline, i think this is the show for you. it is good for the "cas" theatre goer. enjoy!!
