I see a lot of suggestions for new shows, just wondering what everyone's opinion is of the Top 5 shows right now, including the oldies but goodies.
Mine would be:
Hamilton
Book of Mormon
Lion King
Wicked (probably the first show that really got me interested in Broadway)
Phantom (its just a classic)
Not to be confused with Dave19.

Avoid Lion King AT ALL COST. It's an expensive nap.
My Top 5 that you can get tickets to:
Shuffle Along
Eclipsed
Waitress
Bright Star
Ling Day's Journey
* She Loves Me is good for first timers. The second time I was moderately bored.
**Color Purple is fantastic, but if you are an atheist like me, some lines like "God is inside me and everyone else" might make you feel a little uncomfortable.
***Wicked is a must-see, but for me it's mostly because of its sentimental value despite its flaws.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
