Oddly enough, I would see Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan before I would step foot in the August Wilson and Shubert theater for those shows.

Jersey Boys, and I don't know if it's considered popular or not, but Sweeney Todd. I really wanted to see this but now I won't be able to.

I'm not allowed to see Q either. My father goes "Until you are of legal age you are not to see fornacating puppets"

A part of me wonders how we're defining 'popular', because people seem to be listing shows that I wouldn't have thought were popular. But anyway.

Popular shows that I haven't seen but want to:
Sweeny Todd (and I won't be able to see the current revival, drrr)
Avenue Q
Spelling Bee
Hairspray
History Boys (and I'm going to miss this one too)
The Color Purple

Popular shows that I haven't seen and have little to no desire to:
The Drowsy Chaperone
The Producers
Spamalot
Jersey Boys
The Wedding Singer

Popular shows I wish I'd never seen:
Chicago
Wicked
POTO

Chicago and Beauty and the Beast....but I plan to see them soon! I promise!

I've never seen RENT on broadway, but I saw it on tour. I have no plans to see it on Broadway.

I have seen all of the new musicals,
so I am pretty much left with...

The Producers
Phantom
Mamma Mia
The Lion King (though I saw the tour in Toronto)
Chicago
Beauty and the Beast

So one of my goals for the coming month(s) is to work on seeing all of those! :)

I haven't see Fame Becomes Me. I've seen everything else I want to see. I refuse to see Rent, Tarzan, or (most likely) Jersey Boys.

I do want to see some off Broadway shows and Broadway playshowever. Ones such as Altar Boyz, (title of show), Lieutenant of Inishmore, and possibly The History Boys.

I finished out my Broadway show list last night after seeing Avenue Q. I must say I wasn't too impressed.

Oh, ps, I went backstage at the Drowsy Chaperone which was pretty awesome.

Lol, most of them! Would be easier to say that I have seen BATB, POTO, RENT and Wicked. I'm trying to get my sister out to see other shows with me (b/c I'm too chicken to go into the city and see one alone) but she can never commit to anything I have got to find someone else who is into broadway to go see shows with!

"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you: -Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off! -Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch! -I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. -Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say. -Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular! -Bed made, room straightened. We've done that. -Colors blended. Oookay. -But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile." ~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

I've never seen The Phantom of the Opera and plan to keep it that way. I've heard a lot of the music and I don't like it.

I've never seen Spamalot either. This season, I also missed shows like The Wedding Singer, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Tarzan.

I haven't seen the cut-down version but I thought Beauty and the Beast was an excellent show. The Lion King was a little less appealing and Aida really sucked the big one. I have no interest in seeing Tarzan.

Jesey Boys
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (before it closes )
The Drowsy Chaperone
Hairspray
