I don't know about awful, but given the hype, it was terribly disappointing. It was OK, I guess.Living in CT and being a 70 minute train ride from Times Square, I go to Broadway maybe once every other year, usually based on what my wife wants to see.One of the funniest I've seen recently is something called A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder. Not running in NYC now, but if you see a travelling show its worth a look.We've seen some Disney ones, and The Lion King is pretty great due to the sets and costumes. You know the story.I've never seen a drama I liked.
That explains the assless chaps I guess.

I thought the music was a little lacking for something that won the Tony for Best Musical, but agreed on the humor. Very enjoyable.
When in NYC do check out one of the bigger venues but also look at the off-Broadway fare.
Also, if anyone happens to be in NYC both Waitress and Dear Evan Hansen are worth seeing. Sara Bareilles, who wrote Waitress, will be rejoining the cast for a limited run. About a year ago I saw a production with her and Jason Mraz in the two lead roles. It was fantastic.
Any suggestions for theaters in London? Going across the pond in April with the kids (12, 10, 4), so would have to be age appropriate.
Ive seen both Aladdin and Lion King on the West End. Believe both are playing. Aladdin was excellent. An extra musical number or two than the movie, but the costumes, sets, and joking dialogue is great.
I wrote a play at MU called "The Pipe Goeth Sweet".It was a kind of historical fiction loosely based on Edmund S. Morgan's "The Puritan Dilemma", where John Winthrop and Anne Hutchinson had a secret affair, and that was the real reason she was banished.It sucked royally.
Sounds like it sucked royally.
When I was a junior at MU, I studied abroad at St. Claire’s in Oxford. They regularly had great student ticket prices to London shows as part of group outings, and the school transported students to/from Oxford/London. It didn’t hurt that the girl I liked kept going to shows, but while there, I saw Les Mis, Chicago, Miss Saigon, Annie to name a few. For me, Les Mis is as good as it gets.
Still ar. Know wonder ewe kept diggin' Buzz's chit while he wuz heer, hey?
