Posted: 1/30/06 at 5:42pmI have been seeing shows for a very long time and mostly enjoy everything I see, but the coolest show from a complete and overall perpective is TOMMY. I saw it 3 times when I lived in the city after college. The special effects, the fun music, everything....it's so fun and was awesome to watch!

Phantom of the Opera with Sandra Joseph. Maybe I am partial since I've loved Phantom since I was four and Sandra Joseph since I was eight.
But I imagine Les Miserables was probably great. Unfortunetly, I've never seen it on Broadway, but would have liked to.

John Doyle's "Sweeney Todd" DEFINES cool.
Cabaret in Studio 54, complete with nightclub tables and cocktails was also really cool.

I cannot answer this question. I have been blessed to see so many wonderful shows and actors in them, How would I say which was the best?
At this moment, If I could go back and re-watch any of them, (Just at this MOMENT) - It would be the original cast in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". It will change in an hour or so I'm sure.

I would have to say that everything on Broadway is cool. What isn't cool is "amazing". What isn't amazing, "rocks"!
I'd continue, but I've run out of descriptive adjectives.
