The King of Queens: Go figure that the show supports Broadway

Seinfeld had the episode with the amazing technicolor dreamcoat and on another episode, there were Broadway posters on the walls of the subway. Those posters gave Broadway a nod but us New Yorkers know that those kind of posters are only set decoration and are not on New York subways. George bought Jerry "Guys and Dolls" tickets. George sang "Master Of The House" from Les Mis too.

Facts of Life girls went to see Sophisticated Ladies on Broadway. Tootie was the lead in their "South Pacific."

The Nanny saw Sunset Blvd, and others.

The Honeymooners were going to see "Murder Strikes Out" on Broadway.

Curb Your Enthusiasm had the Producers storyline.

The Golden Girls were always doing or trying out for a play, "Blanche and Rose in Cats, Blanche in The Taming Of The Shrew, Blanche and Rose in The Sound Of Music, Blanche, Rose and Dorothy in the play with the famous actor who hits on all the actresses,
all the girls in Henny Penny)

The Simpsons always give Broadway a nod, "Cats, On The Town, Streetcar, Mary Poppins pre-Broadway, Beauty and the Beast- See My Vest, etc."

Will and Grace.

Tracy Ullman in an hbo special- she played a tourist who wound up on the Broadway stage.

FUN!

UGLY BETTY: Henry offers to take Betty to WICKED and leaves her a t-shirt from the show.

i saw that episode from will and grace at suessical. ugly betty with wicked was nice. the comparision was nice also- green girl doesn't belong, misunderstood, ugly girl, doesn't fit in, misunderstood. Ohh yeah, also in ugly betty, justin was trying out for the music man

There's a Broadway reference on almost ever episode of Veronica Mars.

"There we are in front of Spamalot."
"Where do you live? Brigadoon?"
and the last episode

"How very footloose." which of course could have been refering to the movie, but I like to think it's a Broadway reference.

Ah, Kramer's Tony Award. What an episode.

There's another episode of King of Queens where Carrie takes her father to see Annie Get Your Gun.

To add yet another Will & Grace theatre-related reference, Karen mentions seeing Will and his boyfriend at Fiddler on the Roof. And Minnie Driver's character on the show was in the chorus of Taboo.

sex in the city- marcus was a chorus boy, mary testa sang "and all that jazz" at the cabaret lounge

jeopardy- broadway week

Producer 2 - better for sex and the city, lachanze is a hostess and julia murney flirts with smith when he's a waiter

The Nanny saw Sunset Blvd, and others.
----------------

The main character on The Nanny (apart from the titular nanny) was a Broadway producer, so they had plenty of references. Never have I seen a show mock Andrew Lloyd Weber so frequently.

i remember that hey arnold episode! Helga wanted to see wrestlemania but on the back of the flyer, there was an advertidment for rats. So the dad thought she wanted to see rats

Oh yeah, and in "The Critic," they had an extended joke about there being a musical version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

In the DVD commentator, the writers said they picked it because it seemed like one of the worst possible ideas for musicalization. Unbeknownst to them, in a matter of years, Disney actually did it with the film.

As someone mentioned, Family Guy has the references all the time. There are random West Side Story dance sequences among other things.

I think there was a thread about Broadway references on TV. I mean, there was that episode of Friends where Rachel was trying to do a crossword puzzle by herself and she told Chandler they should see the 1996 Tony award winner, what is it, and then Chandler said Rent, and she was like yes! and he was like when do you want to go and she was like I can't, I'm busy.

there's lots of thoser references all over tv.
