What to see and what not to see on Broadway

Haven't been to Broadway for 5 years, but if I was on a plane to New York this November, the ones I'd want to see would be -

1) Wicked (again, because it's so freaking good)
2) Phantom of the Opera
3) Love Never Dies
4) Billy Elliot
5) Rock of Ages (even though Drew will have left by then)
6) Avenue Q
7) Mamma Mia!

Of course I don't know what your tastes are, but 3 of the shows I'd see match yours, so maybe we have similar tastes. *shrug*

HAIR is, in my opinion, the best show currently on Broadway.

No one can really speak about THE ADDAMS FAMILY because it hasn't started previews in New York yet and it has supposedly changed a lot since Chicago. Ask again next week.

If you've never seen them, I guess it makes sense to see PHANTOM and WICKED, but they wouldn't make my list to see again over everything else.

My list, of what I've seen, would be:
1. HAIR
2. A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
3. NEXT TO NORMAL
4. LOOPED
5. GOD OF CARNAGE

Of course, you're planning a trip for 10 months from now, so there is no way of knowing what will open or close by then. Hold off on making your list until much later.

Also, try a play. Musicals aren't the only things on Broadway, and I've enjoyed the plays this season much more than the musicals, as a whole.

Of course, we seem to have very different tastes, so feel free to completely discount my opinion.
