Top 5 Shows on Broadway right now

Posted: 5/6/16 at 1:29pm

I see a lot of suggestions for new shows, just wondering what everyone's opinion is of the Top 5 shows right now, including the oldies but goodies.



Mine would be:

Hamilton

Book of Mormon

Lion King

Wicked (probably the first show that really got me interested in Broadway)

Phantom (its just a classic)

Not to be confused with Dave19.

Avoid Lion King AT ALL COST. It's an expensive nap.

My Top 5 that you can get tickets to:

Shuffle Along

Eclipsed

Waitress

Bright Star

Ling Day's Journey

* She Loves Me is good for first timers. The second time I was moderately bored.

**Color Purple is fantastic, but if you are an atheist like me, some lines like "God is inside me and everyone else" might make you feel a little uncomfortable.

***Wicked is a must-see, but for me it's mostly because of its sentimental value despite its flaws.

No particular order:

Hamilton

Fun Home

The Humans

She Loves Me

The Book of Mormon

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
