Musicals (Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Others)

Mean Girls, Hairspray, Anastasia, The Producers, Legally Blonde, Waitress and Newsies are pretty popular. As are Aladdin, The Lion King, and Mary Poppins. Beetlejuice may have closed, but it developed a massive fan base, and I’m curious to see how the tour goes next year.

Someday I really want to see Beetlejuice. Has anyone seen it?

Looking forward to the tour. It’s not perfect, I think the Maitlands and Lydia could have used some additional development, but it’s pretty funny.

Nice! My best-friend's girlfriend is a huge musical fan and horror fan and saw it and she loved it. I really cannot wait to check it out sometime.

Nick Cordero has left us. RIP.

[Simba’s Mom]

That's potentially really good news. For one thing, DS works at a restaurant near Broadway that's really dependent on the people going to Broadway shows. And many of his friends are musicians in the pit of Broadway shows. All are currently out of work.
