On Broadway

I have seen many shows on Broadway. It is such a fun and fantastic experience once you are in the theater. I can't stand Times Square, as most natives can attest to, it is very very unpleasant and not at all representative of our New York. I must admit I am a huge fan of lists and this blog will include many many lists. Here goes my first list:
Shows I Have Seen:

1. Peter Pan
2. Seussical The Musical
3. Kiss Me Kate
4. Thoroughly Modern Millie
5. 42 Street
6. Chicago
7. Rent (3 times!)
8. Hairspray
9. Wicked
10. Guys and Dolls
11. Jersey Boys
12. Aida
13. Spring Awakening
14. Next to Normal
15. Phantom of The Opera

Now for the Shows I want to See:

1. Book of Mormon
2. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
3. Billy Elliot
4. Avenue Q (Off Broadway)
5. The Normal Heart (not a Musical)
6. Rent (AGAIN! and Off Broadway this time)

But I'll be honest, I will see any musical if I haven't seen it before. This summer I want to Student Rush and Lotto like there is no tomorrow. All my birthday money is going to be spent on theater. Oh well. :)

Speaking of theater, tonight I am going to see my favorite comedian Mike Birbiglia down at Barrow Street Theatre. I am so excited. I saw his last show called "Sleepwalk With Me" a couple years ago over at Bleecker Street Theater. This time we are seeing "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend". He is absolutely hilarious. I first discovered his on This American Life one of my favorite NPR radio shows. He is a fantastic story teller, and not all of his stories are meant to be funny, sometimes he shares a story because it is a good story.
