The first Disney Broadway show I've seen is Beauty and The Beast(long long time ago). Last Spring Break I saw Wicked...

this is really sad, but i know i'm missing some!!!!

i'm going with my Drama Club to see the new production of peter pan, which is in the round with a lot of cool effects. it's only being preformed in three cities,LA, Atlanta, and chicago. then in may i'm going to see white noise, which is a new musical produced by whoopi goldberg and two girl musicians. a good friend of mine who i've been in shows with is the lead female understudy, so we're going on one of her dates. it's slated to hit broadway with the same cast in late 2011, early 2012. fingers crossed for some tony noms!

I live in New York and I'm a total theater geek, so I see several shows a year! The 3 most recent I've seen are Next to Normal, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and In The Heights. They unfortunately all closed in January.

You've seen American Idiot? A kid from my town is in it.

You've seen American Idiot? A kid from my town is in it.

Yes, it was amazing!
Who was he and who did he play?

 

[TianaLove]

I was recently up in NY and we saw 2 shows. It was only my first time going so I have yet to see more shows! But we saw Jersey Boys and Phantom. Phantom was phenominal, as expected. We really didn't expect much out of Jersey Boys but it's now one of my favorite musicals. I listen to it ALL THE TIME! Definitely would reccoment Jersey Boys for anyone heading up to NY.

 

[mickey'sbff]

I'm not sure, it was definitely one of the smaller parts.

 

[Pinkjojo7]

I absolutely love love LOVE broadway shows! Some that I've seen:
> Phantom of The Opera- Twice
> Evita
> WICKED
> The Wizard of Oz- Im not even sure how many times I have seen or been in this. And I never get cast as The Wicked Witch! =(
> RAIN
> Nunsense
> Beauty and the Beast
> SWEENEY TODD
> Grease
> West Side Story
> Jesus Christ Superstar
> The Lion King- My favorite =P
> And Riverdance if that counts somewhat.
Im going to see Chicago and Spamalot in May! I wish Les Miserables would come around here again and I wish I could have saw Tarzan when it was in production.

 

[♫♥MickeyManda♥♫]

I finally saw Mary Poppins-- too good for words!!! I wonder what my next show will be, any suggestions?

I've been to American Idiot, Memphis, and In the Heights (no longer on bway )

 

[MisguidedSabrina]

I've seen the Wizard of Oz (although I don't know if that one was considered broadway), and I've seen Beauty and the Beast. I was supposed to go see High School Musical on broadway a few years ago but never did get to go.

I would LOVE to see Mary Poppins and the Lion King. <3

Sadly I have never been able to make it to New York to see a true Broadway show (although that is one of my dreams that I must do) but I have seen a few touring Broadway productions:

-Wicked
-RENT (twice)
-Legally Blonde the Musical (twice)
-Hair (such an amazing show - I fell in love with the music after seeing it)

And I'm going to see Fiddler on the Roof this summer, which I am beyond excited for!

 

[BroadwayGirlJulia]

Though I've seen many, many, many musicals in my community, the only one I've seen done professionally was Wicked in San Francisco. I'm going back to San Fran this summer to see Billy Elliot with my friend the day before his birthday. SOOO EXCITED!!! Some I've seen done locally that I LOVED are:

Big River
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Cinderella
Disney's Beauty and the Beast
West Side Story
Footloose
Hairspray
Guys and Dolls
Damn Yankees
Little Women
White Christmas

Just to name a few I've seen way more, but those are my favorites that I've seen done.

 

[kelseighrox925]

I've seen these shows done locally/proffesionally:

-Little Shop of Horrors
-Beauty and the Beast
-Annie
-Cats (I was really little, so I don't remember it

I've also seen lots of ice shows, mainly Disney on Ice.

 

[Pinkjojo7]

^^^ Ive seen a few ice shows too, Beauty&The Beast was my first one and my cousin got head lice after it. lol.

Sadly I have never been able to make it to New York to see a true Broadway show (although that is one of my dreams that I must do) .

Yeah, Ive never been to New York to see a true Broadway show either but I consider them touring as a broadway show.
