Hey Ya'll. I was just wondering what the coolest show is that people have seen? I love RENT and WICKED, but I haven't been blessed yet to see them live... But I have seen 42nd street on Broadway and I have to say that was the greatest thing I've ever seen. I really enjoyed it and was blown away. Being my first show that I had seen live it was a great one. I'm still wanting to go and see RENT and WICKED... Broadway just rocks in general...

I don't mean to sound like a silly little fangirl, but I think Wicked was probably the coolest.

That's easy! "K2" It took place on an icy mountain side.
*rim shot*
Sweeney. It was so different, but so amazing.
Wow... there are a lot of shows I haven't heard of yet... Thanks everyone. Now I know to keep my eyes open huh. Don't be ashamed to love WICKED dancinqueen so do I... I don't think i'm a fangirl or whatever... Wicked is just plain amazing
Oh yeah RENT too
Good job Best12bars..you beat me to it :) I was racking my brains out trying to think of a show that took place somewhere cold or had something cold-related in the title. The best I could come up with was "The Iceman Cometh"...
DRS (I'm sorry, that set was awesome.)

I have to agree with the current production of "Sweeny". How cool to see a show that was all about great performances and a great score.

Of the 4 shows I've seen so far this year (Doubt, Sweeney, Pajama Game, Barefoot), Sweeney is the tops, followed by Doubt, Pajama Game, and Barefoot.

wicked. aside from me just loving the music, the sets and everything were beautiful.
and honestly mamma mia was pretty cool. i went in there expecting some disco thing like saturday night fever, but i was very impressed. the curtain itself was very unique and the set really made the island come to life.
Thats so cool. My best friend went and saw Mama Mia. She really like it too. I've see only 2 shows live. I'm what people call a "Broadway Virgin" haha. I love Broadway though its so great. I can't wait to see wicked live it seems so cool. I've played to music to Les Miserables... it was difficult but great music.
now I really want to see Sweeney. I mean I've always wanted to, but even more now (if thats possible). I miss broadway. I haven't seen a new show since September. Oh my god..thats so long ago *goes through withdrawl*
I can't just pick one, so I will pick several in no particular order:
1) Wicked
2) Cabaret (revival)
3) Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
4) Rent
5) Chicago
6) Taboo
Honorable Off Broadway mention: See What I Wanna See -- absolutely stunning.
