Tell us what shows you have loved (and hated) then we can suggest better. (and why isn't Once on your list?)

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER PORGY & BESS NEWSIES CLYBOURNE PARK A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE ANYTHING GOES
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
1. Peter and the Starcatcher 2. Newsies 3. Clyborne Park 4. Anything Goes 5.Porgy and Bess Haven't seen Street Car, but I haven't heard good things
**DRAMAMAMMA NOT EVERYONE HAS TO LOVE/SEE ONCE it is an acquired taste also I would not be caught dead paying $150 to see it...id rather pay $150 to see Newsies 5 times with the heavily restricted SRO...not because I love newsies but there is no way in hell I am paying that much to see a show...especially one so simple where i know the producers are pocketing $100 for each ticket I buy****
1) Anything Goes (Top of my list because I actually found it to be far better with Stephanie and her performance is worth the trip alone before it closes in August)
2) Peter and the Starcatcher
3) Clyborne Park
4) Porgy and Bess
5) Newsies
6) A Streetcar Named Desire

I didn't say everyone had to see or love anything. I simply asked WHY it wasn't on his list. His reasons would add insight as to what shows he might like.
And if your reasoning for what shows you will spend money on has to do with the bells and whistles you get, they you will miss lots of amazing theater.
