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...

Posted: 1/30/06 at 3:15pmI don't mean to sound like a silly little fangirl, but I think Wicked was probably the coolest.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 1/30/06 at 3:50pmGood 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"...

Posted: 1/30/06 at 4:10pmI 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.

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.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 4:26pmThats 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
