On My Bucket List...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
These are my 5 star, top musicals of all time… Must-sees if they come to a city near you!
Have I seen this musical three times? Yes, yes I have. Great music, fun plot, and a small but mighty cast.
Jersey Boys
Hilarious, emotional, and an all around good time. Would see again in a heartbeat!
Beetlejuice
Based on a true story of events that took place after 9/11… Sounds like a terrible plot for a musical but this is one of the best shows I have ever seen (and yes, it is hilarious at times too!).
Come From Away
There's a reason this has been touring for decades. A spiritual experience even though there isn't must of a plot…
Cats
Amazing songs, clever plot, there is little to dislike about this show
Wicked
⭐⭐⭐⭐
These shows were great and I would recommend you see them if you can!
Rent this on Amazon!! This is an incredible show and I hope and pray they tour it in the future
The Prince of Egypt: The Musical
Jazz, murder, and dancing - what's not to love?
Chicago
Sugar - butter - flour. So many good songs!
Waitress
Perfect for all ages! And however they get the carpet to fly is incredible :D
Aladdin
Girl power to the nines - such a fun musical!
Legally Blonde
An ABBA party through and through
Mamma Mia!
Another fun “girly” musical with lots of good songs/jokes. The second half does get a bit boring (until Regina gets hit by that bus)
Mean Girls
Who doesn't like Grease?!
Grease
A pretty hilarious show around the real theme of LGBQT teens
The Prom
⭐⭐⭐
These are musicals I liked but wouldn't see again.
It's award winning but can get boring at times. There are much more fun Disney musicals to see
The Lion King
The first Broadway show I ever saw - and she actually flies in on her umbrella!
Mary Poppins
Gorgeous costumes and a good show overall. Too bad this is a “more accurate” story and doesn't include Rasputin and a funny talking bat.
Anastasia
A good show with lots of pretty costumes and a cool set
My Fair Lady
A classic show but I'd prefer a show without a bunch of kids singing the whole time…
Annie
⭐⭐
Once was enough - not a huge rush to recommend you to see them at all
Pretty funny parody of musical but a little bit too over the top for me
Something Rotten!
Not my favorite show - lacking plot and character development. BUT, they sing and do a full blown workout during one song which was very impressive
