Visiting a Broadway show usually tops people’s to-do lists when they travel to New York. If you are want a classic show, go for ‘Phantom of the Opera’ or ‘Les Miserables’ (I prefer Les Mis!), and you will not be disappointed.

If you are looking for something more recent, ‘Wicked’ and ‘Spring Awakening’ are both fantastic. My FAVORITE show, and my biggest recommendation, is ‘Avenue Q’. The score is hilarious, the story is heartwarming, and you will definitely love it! (and there are puppets!)

If you are going to see one Broadway show in your life, really be selective. Some shows are fun but not a must-see (‘Putnam County Spelling Bee’) and some shows are just worth skipping despite their level of being well known (‘Beauty and the Beast’).
