My Favorite Shows

1:     Newsies

This one is, and will always be, at the top of the list.  Some shows have come close, but I always go back to Newsies.  If I was stranded on a desert island and could only watch one production for the rest of my life, it would be Newsies.

 

2:     Come From Away

        Joseph...technicolor dreamcoat

        the lion king

        Six

These rank second because, in truth, I can't pick one over the others.  As soon as I do, I immediately change my mind.  On that desert island, if I was allowed to watch more than one production, these would be my next selections.  Since I can't pick one over another, they're listed alphabetically.

​

3:     All the rest

These are the shows I've seen, including on-Broadway, Broadway Tours, and Regional Productions. It doesn't matter to me where they're performed -- shows that bring stories to life right before my eyes are magical, one and all.  To make life simple (and to avoid inadvertent ranking), they're listed alphabetically.
