What are your favorite three broadway shows you have ever seen? If you like you can name your top three plays AND your top three musicals.

My top three musicals (not necessarily in order)
1) Les Miserables
2) Company
3) Sweeney Todd

My top three plays (not necessarily in order)
1) Rabbit Hole
2) Talk Radio (with Liev)
3) The Homecoming (the current revival)


When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian
