Your Broadway wish list

Posted: 3/15/06 at 6:39am

In other words, do you write a list of shows that you haven't seen yet or that you want to see again that you really want to see? Here's mine:

Sweeney Todd (again)
Wicked (again)
Chicago
Jersey Boys
The Drowsy Chaperone
Barefoot in the Park
The Pajama Game
The Threepenny Opera

I want them to take another crack at Mack and Mabel. They just can't seem to get it right. The score is amazing and needs to be appreciated. I think that a re-re-re-worked book might do the trick. Unfortunatley we'll never see Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters but I think that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster would tare the roof down.

...everything...I live far too far away from NYC and touring groups just...aren't the same. ::sigh:: I guess that's what Chicago is for though.

Right now, it's Pajama Game. Cause I missed out on getting tickets when I had the chance.

Show that I want to see:

Lord of the Rings(I probably will have to settle for the cast recording though)

Phantom of the Opera

I am kind of hoping, "Yoduk Story" reaches the U.S., it sounds like a powerful story.

Shows I want to see again:

Les Miserables, I want to see this current tour one last time.

I would not mind seeing the "Lion King" again

Every show on this list, I would probably have to see on tour.

re: Your Broadway wish list

Sweeney ( for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th time!)
Pajama Game
Wicked
Hairspray
Spelling Bee (again)
Grey Gardens
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (3rd time)
Spamalot
Drowsy Chaperone
Color Purple

I will be going into the city next month so I will probably get to see two of those shows. I know Pajama Game will be one and mabye one other. Then I am shooting at going in once a week over the summer so that could add up to 14 shows. I cannot wait until the summer!

I'm up for seeing just about anything except Lestat, (which, after hearing the bbok and the score, um, no) and Threepenny Opera (I did the show and not pumped about revisiting it any time soon). I can't get excited about The Color Purple, either, but I might buy it at TKTS if I had seen everything else. My top choices would be Festen, Tarzan, The Pajama Game, The Drowsy Chaperone and Jersey Boys.

I want to catch Drowsy Chaperone and The Pajama Game (if possible).
