|
 |
The Phantom of the Opera
A hideously deformed man lives in the cellars of the Paris Opera and takes a stunningly beautiful soprano as a student in this classic show - the longest running production in Broadway history. Winner of 7 1988 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. |

|
 |
Mary Poppins
The classic songs of the Disney movie are used in this family-friendly Broadway megamusical, telling the tale of that charming nanny of Edwardian London in a perfectly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious manner. |
|
 |
Shrek the Musical
A new musical based on William Steig's classic book and the mega-hit film it spawned comes to Broadway, and, like its title character, proves to be highly imperfect and totally irresistible. |
|
 |
The Lion King
Julie Taymor's inventive retelling of Disney's animated hit took Broadway by storm in 1997, and is still running strong. Puppets and live actors weave a dreamscape of jungle characters as we follow the rise of young Simba to the throne. Winner of 6 1998 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. |

 | Chicago "This production isn't smoke and mirrors, it's flesh and blood shaped by discipline and artistry into a parade of vital, pulsing talent." New York Times |  | Billy Elliot "A production as seriously thrilling as it is deeply lovable. The show is crawling - not to mention tapping and leaping - with dauntingly talented children, presented with a blissful lack of preciosity and lots of blazing intelligence and theatricality." Newsday |  | Hair ""Hair" was then and is now the most exciting new show in town, not so much a breath of spring air as a jolt of adrenaline. "Hair," for all its references to hippies, Vietnam, free love and the revolution, feels utterly of the moment in its exuberance, its power to involve and, in Diane Paulus’s entrancing production, to move us." Bloomberg News |  | The Norman Conquests: Trilogy "Unassuming monosyllables acquire brute force in the topping, London-born revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s "Norman Conquests," crippling you with laughter that shakes the body and, more subversively, fractures the soul. Mr. Ayckbourn mines the explosive potential of irritable, dissatisfied and restlessly bored people in close quarters." New York Times |  | The Lion King "I promise you "The Lion King" is like nothing you have ever seen before. This show really cannot be overpraised. Though not appropriate for infants, "The Lion King" is a spellbinding introduction to the art of theater, for anyone over the age of 6." The Journal News |  | Mary Stuart "What elevates this adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's venerable play to even greater heights are the thrilling performances of the actresses: Janet McTeer as Mary and Harriet Walter as Elizabeth. Credit director Phyllida Lloyd and adapter Peter Oswald, who have created a taut tale of political intrigue, a bruising contest in which the prize is England itself." AP |  | God of Carnage "Director Matthew Warchus keeps the fur flying and the laughter landing. He’s got a fantastic foursome known from film and TV, but all have stage experience. It’s sort of a "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" meets "Survivor." Once rum starts flowing, it gets louder, uglier and funnier. " NY Daily News |

| | Jersey Boys "This show will have you happy and singing Four Seasons songs ALL the next day! It was very well done. And uplifting. Nothing comes without some cost in the land of opportunity.
It also shows how the right group has to come together and the right people have to meet the right people. Make this show - a STILL hot ticket and there is a reason. Go see, hear and experience this - you will be very happy that you did." Allen from New Milford, CT | | | Mary Stuart "A fascinating retelling of one of the most dramatic events of English History, the sanctioning of the execution of Mary Stuart by Queen Elizabeth I. The acting and staging are superb. The decision to make all the male characters bland conscienceless "suits" in contrast to the excellent period costumes of the two queens is brilliant. The women are fully realized characters while the men are mere functionaries, the same as in any age. I looked at the original Schiller play in German and was amazed at how very close the current version is to the original. It was a mesmerizing and completely satisfying theatrical experience." Joan from Sleepy Hollow, NY | | | 9 to 5 "This is a great musical......a lot of good singing and dancing.....followed the movie story well while adapting it to the stage. Very funny, kept us laughing throughout. Not for youngsters, this is strictly for mature audiences. We loved it! Go and enjoy!" Patricia from Raeding, PA | | | Wicked "This is a wonderful show. The set, music, and clever story twists make it a show without any lulls. Our group ranged in age from 8-72 and everyone loved it!" Darelynn from Berwyn Heights, MD | | | South Pacific "This is a classy, wonderful, first-rate production. Great cast, great music, great sets and staging. Particularly impressive and delicious is that there is NO miking of the cast; the orchestra and singers are au natural, NO electronic amplification, a real joy! Just like it used to be!
I recommend this production highly; it's kept South Pacific as it was in the late 1940's intact, but not especially dated... with a great cast to boot.
Go! You won't get a chance to see this musical in a full production very often, so don't miss it while it's here!" Leslie from New York, NY | | | The Lion King "This was my second time to see The Lion King and it was as amazing as the first! It is truly a phenomenal performance and story. We had great seats!" Rose Marie from Fair Lawn, NJ | | | Mary Poppins "Mary Poppins was sensational! The music, costumes and cast were outstanding. It had all the charm of an "old style" Broadway musical. Perfect for all ages!" Elizabeth from Dallas, TX |
