Oh this is hard, it's between Xanadu or Sunday in the park but they are so different. Xanadu for the pure fun but I can't stop thinking of SUnday even though I saw it 2 weeks ago now
I believe SUNDAY is the best show on Broadway, but I'm also gonna have to say PASSING STRANGE, because it was just such an amazing theatrical experience, and I always am thinking about how great it is.
"Sunday in the Park with George" is stunning in a variety of ways and so much more rewarding than, say, "Wicked" or "RENT."
If you want to see a stellar PERFORMANCE, go to see Lupone in "Gypsy," but to be honest, you'd be blown away by the performances in "Sunday..." as well!
Yeah. I like a bunch of the shows you and everyone else here thinks is "acceptable", but I also love Wicked. I think its fun and has a cute message and (almost. cant say much for the OBC) always has a talanted cast. And the set and costumes are gorgeous. Go ahead guys, lemme have it!

The one show playing on Broadway right now which will achieve legendary status in years to come is "SUNDAY". The stage production of August: Osage Country will all but be forgotten once it get turned into a major motion picture with an all-star cast.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
I'd say, in my own opinion, Lion King, is not the best show, but it's really good, and definitely worth seeing.
"That's a good point. Next time I pee on a Starbucks couch and throw straws and napkins at a barista, I'll just yell, "YOU DON'T KNOW ME OUTSIDE OF STARBUCKS! YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL!" and that should do it. "-LizzieCurry
I haven't even seen them live yet, just in other ways, but I'm going to have to go with Gypsy, Sunday, and In the Heights.
Honestly, if I love them that much and haven't even seen them live, then I think that says a lot. Maybe it doesn't, maybe it just sounds/looks really good to me in the ways I have seen them and won't be as good live, but I highly doubt that.
And why waste money on Wicked when it has twenty different companies where you can see it, while some of these shows you can only see in New York.
This thread is about people's favorite show, not what the best show on Broadway is, anyway. Doubt that everyone who posted here has seen every single Broadway show right now to have that kind of opinion.
