Help me pick a show to go see

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I've narrowed it down to these shows - which is best?

 

[PollyannaMom]

I haven't seen any of them (other than the version of the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom, which I'm assuming is different) but Wicked is the one I'd like to see the most.

I've already seen Wicked on Broadway.

Frozen & Lion King have seen the movies a lot.

So I'd see Book of Mormon.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though.

 

[CynBeth]

The only one of those we have seen is Wicked a number of years ago and really enjoyed it.

One of these things is not like the others. I loved Book of Mormon but depending on your tastes it could seem offensive.

Personally I’d choose Wicked because I’ve seen Lion King and like another commenter said, I imagine Frozen is already very familiar.

I’d love to hear and see Defying Gravity in person.

I will say, when DW & I saw Wicked, I did have a problem hearing the vocals during musical numbers. I've had that problem at concerts too, so it's probably a "me" issue, but could be why I wasn't that impressed with it.

i've seen all but 'frozen' (touring casts). it realy depends on what you are looking for in a show-

'book of mormon'-if easily offended i would pass. if not-it is FUNNY, has a good silly storyline and we realy enjoyed it (i don't think i have ever heard so much laughter in an audience).

'lion king'-for me it was interesting to see from a technical perspective. the puppetry is cool but beyond that i prefer a prefer a more traditional show.

'wicked'-good story line, good roles that performers can realy display their talent in. it's the kind of show i think of as far as a traditional musical. realy enjoyed it as well.

Can't go wrong with either Wicked or The Lion King.

Wicked! I've seen it 3 times. I've seen Lion King twice. Love it too. Costumes are amazing. Frozen is great when you have kids but I wouldn't choose it for adults. I didn't love Book of Mormon. Some parts were too much for me - involving frogs. I think I'm just too old and square lol.

 

[EACarlson]

Completely agree with @sam_gordon Of those choices available. I would go with Book of Mormon. If you are easily offended, I would choose something else, we are talking about the same people that did South Park, Orgazmo, BASEketball and Team America.
The only one I've seen was Wicked, I wasn't that impressed with it.

 

[antmaril]

I’ve seen Wicked twice on Broadway and would see it again. LOVE it!

 

[Toolulu22]

I’ve seen both Wicked and Lion King ((twice). Like others have said, both are well worth it. I chose Wicked however, because we came out of that show excited about it. Circle of Life gets me every time, but the story and songs in Wicked resonated long after the show ended.

I have not seen Frozen, so cannot comment on this production

I’ve seen the others, Lion King twice.

You did not indicate who was all going to the show. If there are younger kids, I would go for Lion King. I loved Book of Mormon, but as others have commented, the content that might offend others.

I live in NY and have seen many Broadway shows. Wicked is up there as one of my all-time favorites. Loved Lion King as well.

As for Book of Mormon, most people either love or hate it. It’s not for me.

 

[barkley]

I loved Book of Mormon, but as others have commented, the content that might offend others.

it is the only live show i've ever attended where i've observed someone (a couple) walk out mid performace (actualy mid song-i think the dancing starbucks cups pushed them over the edge).

 

[Diznygrl]

Wicked is my most favorite musical of all time, so yes, I'd go with that. Lion King is Lion King, and Book of Mormon is hilarious if you're not easily offended as it gets pretty raunchy and may be a bit much for someone with deep religious sensibilities. I don't like Frozen in general so have no desire to see the Broadway version.
