Elisa's Top 10 Favorite Broadway Shows of all time

9/4/2018

0 Comments

 
I have loved Broadway and the theatre for as long as I can remember. Well, actually, since my Aunt Ro brought me to see my very first Broadway show, Grease,  back in the 1970's.  After that  first experience, I was hooked!!

From that point on, I have literally seen hundreds of shows, on the New York stage, around the country and throughout the world!! Now, my two teen daughters are hooked theatre goers!  My youngre daughter recently asked me "Mom, what was your favorite show EVER?"  I thought hard, because I've enjoyed so many!

However, I was able to narrow it down to my Top 10.  Of course, I'm sure this may change as I continue to see more!

On Broadway in New York City with original cast the first time I saw it and a second time in London with my girls in April 2017. Read more at Theatre Day in London.

7. Death of A Salesman
I had the pleasure of seeing this revival on Broadway when it opened back in 1984 with the amazing Dustin Hoffman and a few not too well known actors (at the time), John Malkevich and Kevin Spacey.

5. 700 Sundays with Billy Crystal
The story of Billy's 700 Sundays spent with his dad before he passed was one of the most spectacular one-man shows I've ever seen on the New York City Broadway stage!!! Hilarious and touching at the same time.

4. The Phantom of the Opera
What can I say about Andrew Lloyd Webber that hasn't already been said?  This show has some special memories as I saw it back in New York City in February of 1991, and then again in New York in  1996.

3. The Boy from Oz
Portraying Peter Allen, the song writer, singer and dancer from down under, Hugh Jackman was mesmerizing in this New York City Broadway engagement, which I saw in 2003.

2. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
I saw the original cast which included Jessie Mueller (who won a Tony for her performance of Carole King) when it first opened on Broadway in 2014 and then again in November 2015 in Boston at the Boston Opera House with my daughters. Read more at A Beautiful Day with Mom.

1.  Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
Wow - so I saw this show three times on the Broadway stage, each time with John Lloyd Young, the original Frankie Valli.  First during previews in 2006.  Again in 2007 and then in May 2013 to celebrate Gianna's 9th Birthday.  You may enjoy reading Confessions of a Jersey Boys Junkie!
