My nephew is coming to visit and somewhat to my surprise has a fondness for musicals. We’re going to see Avenue Q for certain. He likes Les Mis and Man of La Mancha. I’m trying to restrict myself to tickets available through TDF but I’m a little out of touch with what’s happening on Broadway now.
So, I’m looking for suggestions on what to take him to.
Guys and Dolls is playing, although the reviews have been mixed. Has some great songs.
I wonder if Wicked is playing. I’m dying to see that. But when it came to Houston it was staged in an arena. Uh, no thanks! Last time I went to a dance performance in an arena, people behaved as if they were at a basketball game.
Yeah. I tried to get tickets for Wicked but the $300 ones were all they had left and, um, no thank you.
How old is he? In the Heights is great for mid teens and up.
Ooo. I’ll give that one a try. He’s 15.
I second the In the Heights vote, depending on his age.
Could go old school Monty Python and go see “Spamalot”. If Blue Man Group has a shot, they’re a lot of fun even if they’re not strictly a standard musical…
– yeff
True… Hm. My parents liked that alot.
I recommend Wicked if it’s still on, I’ve recently seen London version and it’s brilliant.
Spamalot is also a great idea, lots of musical jokes, it’s like a double treat.
Thanks! I’ll keep scouting, hoping Wicked tickets will become available.
