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

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.
