Musicals You Should See
- Avenue Q
The original "little show that could." Funny and fresh. Now playing Off-Broadway at the New World Stages. - Matilda
Tremendous fun, with stronger stagecraft, finer performances, a bigger heart, and heartier laughs than any other musical this season - Nice Work If You Can Get It
Terrific cast, hilarious book, and Kathleen Marshall's wonderful choreography. And, oh, those Gershwin songs. - Once
Heartfelt and powerful. Makes you believe again in the power of theater that focuses on people, not spectacle. - The Book of Mormon
Uproariously enjoyable. Profoundly profane, but also surprisingly sweet. - The Fantasticks
A timeless little gem of a show with a universal message. - Wicked
I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love Wicked. Sure, it's a spectacle, but it's got a brain and a heart, too.
