We’ve been trekking to NYC for many years for Broadway, film and tv auditions and we love Broadway shows.
True story: We’ve even spent the night out on the streets of NYC in the bitter cold to get tickets to Dear Evan Hansen. Worth the hypothermia.
So in no particular order – here are a few currently running shows that we love!
Dear Evan Hansen
We saw this twice with the original cast. Which means we ugly-cried through the whole thing. Twice. Worth it. So worth it. The story and music are amazing. Ben Platt is phenomenal. He’s not in the show anymore but I bet whoever is playing Evan is awesome too.
Come From Away
I’ve seen this one twice as well and I love the music, energy and story of this one. It’s short – no intermission and just 90 minutes, but it’s a beautiful story about September 11 and the town of Gander.
Hamilton
Yes, it’s over-hyped. I get it But dang it’s good. We saw it and I’ve wanted to see it again ever since.
Frozen
Two of my three kids have seen this and said it was “Disney magic”. I am trying to decide what organ to sell on the black market in order to see it. So far I’ve decided to keep my organs.
Wicked
It’s a classic and there is a reason it has been on Broadway for fifteen years.
Aladdin
Another classic and is a favorite of my youngest – the one who was on a National Tour and lives and breathes Broadway. Some of her other top picks are no longer running so I will save that for another post.
What’s your favorite show?
