Of the new stuff, I can only give an informed recommendation for Company, but I do so very, VERY highly. It had better be there after the beginning of the year. :)

So, Em. What do you think of Company? Any good? Is that lead guy - Raul Esperanza any good?

Actually, no, he sucks and he's super-ugly.

No offense to anyone, but I never understand these threads.

If ten given people I know asked me which 4 Broadway shows they should see, I would give a completely different list to each person.

Only 4? That is impossible.
I have a top twenty.
1. If you are over 14 Avenue Q.
2. If you love theater and have seen a lot of theater: Forbidden Broadway.
3. Jay Johnson The Two and Only. It is not a big show but it is touching and one of the most heartwarming shows on Broadway today.
4. A Chorus Line- Great dancing. One of the greatest shows ever written. A MUST SEE!
5. Grey Gardens- Christine Ebersole gives the performance of a lifetime.
6. Martin Short- It is very funny. Marc Shaiman stole the show with his heiny moment.
7. Southern Comforts- If you can get here this week, I would see it. Wonderful play at 59 East 59 theater.
8. Jersey Boys- Great cast and entertaining. A feel good musical that will make you want to dance all over your house for years later.
I could go on for days.

Hope you have fun.(Some of my choices appear Off Broadway)
