Trying to keep this positive, what shows on Broadway now do you like? Please not what you hate.

The only Musical on Broadway that I would pay to see right now is The Light in The Piazza. As far as straight plays - Doubt would be my top choice.

Fiddler is my favorite show overall...but not the current production.

For production, Piazza

Honestly, I like 'em all. I haven't seen all of them, no, but even if I sat dead-out BORED for the entire show, I'd still be glad I paid for that ticket. Maybe it's just me, but it could be the worst production in the world, but it'd still be theatre to me. And I would appreciate the efforts that people gave in to make the production happen.

I love Hairspray and Rent and BatB. I haven't seen the newest shows, but I love the Cds of DRS, Wicked (which I'm seeing in LA tomorrow), LitP. I also can't wait for Avenue Q to open here in Vegas!!! LOve the CD!

Here, here Aigoo, I agree with that! I love live theater and all it takes to put a show on. Give me live stage anyday over a movie, there's just nothing like the rush I feel when the lights go down in the theater and the performance begins.

RENT, Wicked, and Spelling Bee are my favorites at the moment.

The Light in the Piazza and Rent are my favorite's that are currently open. My favorites that aren't on Broadway right now are Cabaret and Into the Woods.

I love Phantom, Beauty and the Beast, and Wicked!!! Favorite of all though is Phantom!!!

Sweet Charity and Spelling Bee so far. I will see Color Purple, In My Life and Piazza this fall. Plan to also re-visit RENT and Phantom.

Playwise - Doubt just blew me away. But it is the only play I have seen in the past year on Broadway. Looking forward to Pillowman.

Of the recent shows coming out in the past year or two I would have to say my NEW favorite is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Of the long running musicals my favorite is a toss up between The Phantom of the Opera and the love of my life, Rent.

I love SPAMALOT, spelling bee and the producers. (i like comedies)

RENT & Spamalot (!!!) are stand out favorites of the moment.

I loved "Light in the Piazza" -- the most beautiful new music I've heard in a long time. I also enjoyed "Scoundrels" and "Spamalot."

Last weekend, I saw "The Constant Wife." Kate Burton was fierce -- the show was a little slow at times, but she, Lynn Redgrave and Michael Cumpsty are reason enough to go.

My first post. Be kind.

Ahh all the Rentheads.

My #1 favorite is CHICAGO. A true work of art.
