Going to NYC in June...

[Phan#24601]

So I am going to the Broadway district in NYC this coming June for my high school graduation, and I wanted some suggestions for a musical to see...it does not need to be family friendly, but we have already seen THE LION KING, WICKED, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and THE BOOK OF MORMON at the Pantages Theatre in LA.

I'd say any of the new shows:
Pippin
Matilda
Hands on a Hard Body

[~tiny~]

just make sure you go have lunch at go go curry and have the grand slam! 38th/off Eigth ave.

you should see ONCE or Cinderella

I'd add Newsies to the list since It's tour won't likly hit LA or even start for another 2 years.

I think Matilda is going to be the highlight of the Spring season but I'm also looking very forward to Pippin, too.

If THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD is still playing, would any of you recommend it? I just educated myself on the story, and it looks like great fun!

IF Drood is still playing, then YES!! It was wonderful and so much fun!

I will echo some other suggestions: Once, Newsies who great and I want to get back to the city to see Pipin so much!!!!!

If you're coming to NY for the first time, you should really see a hot ticket. Hopefully a good show too, but you want to see something big you can only see in NY. No one needs to return home and tell their envious friends they saw the 17th cast of Rock Of Ages.

Don't book your whole trip, leave room for some last minute decisions. Get tix to one show you REALLY want to see but don't overdo it.

You're a student - take advantage. Join TDF now and you'll be able to book affordable tix in May. And learn about student rush policies so you can take advantage.

I always recommend first timers see a play too. Something classy with good actors you won't see anywhere else.

And finally, if Drood is still running in June, the world would have come to an end so your trip won't happen anyway! LOL

RUkiddingme- Good advice telling students to see a play. My daughter never wanted to see one (always had to be a musical) and finally did when spent one semester studying at NYU years ago. She saw "Equus" and "The Normal Heart" and she discovered how great it is to see a good play.
