Top 10 Must-Broadway Musicals and Plays
To see a play or musical on Broadway is the way to a world that surrounds you with an experience you can not find anywhere else. Theatre has existed since ancient times and for good reason. There is absolutely nothing like seeing the actors, the audience for musical scores alive and going on a trip with fellow theater-goers. It makes movies seem flimsy comic books in comparison.
Fortunately, there are many excellent shows on Broadway and in major cities throughout North America. The following list is the ten best games you might consider attending a date or a friend. Everyone of these offers an unforgettable experience.
One of the most popular Broadway mega-hits is bad. Wicked is a musical to take the witches from The Wizard of Oz and recast to reverse the loyalty of the audience feels in the film. The play follows the women from school to their eventual destinations. Skin Emerald Elphaba, studious and misunderstood, and the beautiful and ambitious Glinda, going from friends unlikely that opponents of the film classic. The magic is in the consolidation of the ingenious backstory of the Wizard of Oz, to challenge assumptions and present a story of friendship and love. Now Wicked is touring the U.S., so chances are good that the shows in town near you.
A relatively new show called Tarzan is a musical about a baby raised by gorillas as it is with humans, and Jane, forcing him to choose between his two heritages. Tarzan is very popular, the theater eager to see Disney's version took the stage. A show for all ages, finding where one belongs in the world is a weight issue for a show so deceptively light. Phil Collins extended his soundtrack to the film Disney in a complete theater score.
The Lion King is a musical about the lion cub Simba and his journey to adulthood and acceptance as King. A game for all ages, the story of a young man growing to accept the responsibility and duty is one of the most enduring themes in fiction. The animal is puppet theater nothing less than brilliant. If you are looking to infuse a little culture in your child, this may be just the ticket. And again, The Lion King is taking place in many cities.
A disfigured musical genius haunts the theater and exercises control over a mysterious young singer. The Phantom of the Opera is a modern classic musical of long and one of the best known works of the era Broadway. The classical music of the series is one of the main attractions, with more than one piece of this show recognizable to almost any adult. This is the longest running play in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber and became a household name.

Les Miserables is a musical based on the classic novel of the same name, in which the police officer Obsessed Javert pursued Jean Valjean fugitive prison for decades in revolutionary France. A classic tale of obsession and redemption, this work investigates the big issues like good and evil, revenge and justice, and what it takes to achieve redemption, while putting a human face on the issues. Les Miserables originally on Broadway for sixteen years, and now returns with a fresh cast to renew the magic.
Spamalot is based on the legendary Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table who face dangers like the dreaded bunny. The occasionally eccentric Monty Python humor is in full fury in this tale, blows to the politics, religion, chivalry, courage, intelligence and the French. There are men without limbs, men in tights and a line chorus of dancing divas. Spamalot is a favorite of audiences and critics, and won the Tony for Best Musical 2005. If you liked Monty Python show the film and television, then this musical will sure to please.

While music is not as iconic as some others, it is likely that most will recognize several pieces that have been heard before, such as "Razzle-Dazzle" and "All That Jazz." Chicago brings us back to the days of Vaudeville, satirizes the justice system and shows us what great theater it is. Definitely check this program out of you liked the movie starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere.

Mamma Mia! is a musical about Abba staples of the seventies, which is a single mother whose daughter is getting married on a Greek island. The daughter invites three former boyfriends of her mother to visit, with the hope of knowing what their father. The play is built around Abba music, but is a compelling story in itself and advance through the music rather than provide an excuse for that. This is a game where almost all attendees know the music.
