What Broadway shows would you recommend?

I'm travelling to NYC in Dec '06, and have never seen a Broadway show. Any specific shows in that time that would be good? Currently I'm leaning towards Phantom of the Opera.

I suggest that you go to TKTS ...

If you love the theater but need a break from retail prices, visit Duffy Square, the center island of 47th Street between Broadway and 7th Avenue for TKTS.

Established in 1973 for the betterment of theatres and theatre- goers alike, TKTS sells unsold tickets on the day of performance for all Broadway shows for 25-50% off the box office price plus a $3.00 service charge per ticket.

Of the following, I would suggest Phantom of the Opera, Chicago or The Producers.

Jersey Boys

? Radio City Christmas Spectacular

? Phantom of the Opera

? Chicago

? Mamma Mia!

? The Producers

? Avenue Q

? Hairspray

? The Lion King

? Wicked

? Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

? Spamalot

mmm...good question.

i'd recommend chicago. i've seen it myself and its pretty good.

but its gonna be around for a while,. if u gotta see something,

then see the rockeffeller christmas spectacular.

and u can get same day tickets for most broadway shows.

the ticket booths are at the marriot times square.

les miserable is also good. amazing set. phantom? that u can see next year. good luck.
Phantom is awesome, I didn't see it on Broadway, but the Broadway production came to Albuquerque. The special effects are awesome and if you know the story, then it's even better. Also I'd recommend Wicked...I haven't seen it, but it sounds like fun. :)
Ok i just got back from NYC and phantom was nice... if you want a surprise good show that might be cheaper, do to jersey boys and hairspray both good... otherwise must see is tarzan and phantom.... lion king i did not like, but beauty and the beast was good as well..... and look for cheap tickets from agents on the streets or some have a lotery, like rent and others then you pay 25 for real good seats!! anyway have fun and the producers sucked!!
RENT!! also get the movie.. amazing movie

Wicked- the musical about Gregory Meguires book Wicked..; very good! but its sold out until like march.. no joke

Hairspray is good. It is VERY funny

U could see classics liek beauty and teh beast and teh lion King

Jearsy Boys is good...

Tarzan isd new and good

Avenque is good but prety perverted...

so yeah!
Rent

Spamalot
