Pretty soon Broadway will look completly diffrent with so many shows closing and more taking there place.
From this past year what have been your favorite and least favorite shows that opened up..
Mine
BEST:
Next to Normal- I was so pleasently suprised with this show with the exception of not seeing Aaron Tveit (yet).
Shrek the Musical- Not riveting theater or very deep; but a simple story that is cute and entertaning
Blithe Spirit- I only went for Angela but boy I enjoyed the production so much; I didnt get Angelas Signature but I did not leave dissapointed
9 to 5- Like Shrek, Nothing groundbreaking, just entertaining and fun to watch.
God of Carnage- The 4 stars made this play and I was so happy to see a broadway play that isint a revival or based on something written a hundred years ago. I feel like we dont see many original plays anymore.
Worst:
Waiting for Godot: I absolutly love the story and I have seen much better more entertaing productions than this one. I was bored the entire time and wanted it to end. I enjoyed Nathan Lane but to me it was Nathan Lane acting like Nathan Lane trying to act like Estagon.
Billy Elliot- I have no idea what everyone else sees in this show and (stealing from larry david) it upsets me because Im missing what everyone else finds so amazing, I just wish I got it. The plot was mediocre that tried to be deeper than it actually is, the songs were OK except for a handful. I just didnt enjoy it that much at all.
Hair- Hair fans dont hate me. I honestly just didnt like the revival that much. I never really got into it as much as the auidence did it was good for what I paid for the tickets but I know if I payed full price Orch tickets, I would chew myself up over it.
Rock of ages- My friend loved it, I much prefered Toxic Avenger which we saw at the 2 pm show. I cant say I didnt like it because I did, and occasionally I found myself singing along but I just never got into it like everyone else did and felt akward with everyone singing around me and I just had no urge too and I usually enjoy that stuff. Like I said its good for what I paid and im glad I did see it, but I wouldnt be rushing to the theater to see it again.
