Whats the Coolest show you've seen on Broadway?

Posted: 1/30/06 at 2:52pm

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...

Phantom-my fav. show!
Sweeney (2005)...this one especially!
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... (The Highwayman. Sung by: Loreena McKennitt)

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

Sweeney. It was so different, but so amazing.

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"...

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.

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.
