Romantic show that has ever been on Broadway/Off Broadway?
I just love those kind of shows and I wanted everyone's opinion.

Posted: 6/23/06 at 1:56pmCertainly "The Light in the Piazza", but some of the Rodgers and Hammerstein shows ("South Pacific" and "Carousel") in particular are rather romantic. But "The Light in the Piazza" has no other major theme but love.

Posted: 6/23/06 at 2:00pm'Light in the Piazza' is an obvious one, but the first things that came to mind for me were 'South Pacific' and 'Rent'. Both contain multiple, compex love stories around significant social issues.

Posted: 6/23/06 at 2:05pmRent isn't that romantic. I mean, there are no lush strings and highly operatic moments. Usually you get that in a romantic show.

Though certainly not the most romantic, I find The Pajama Game revival (with that amazing chemistry between Harry and Kelli) to be a fantastic story of love. I mean, you can't buy that chemistry between them, and that's the biggest thing you need in a love story.
Also, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned West Side Story. Again, it's not the most romantic, but that last scene? Fantastic!

Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

I remember this one instrumental break during "All I Ask Of You" that just made me happy hahaha.
