Hey guys! I am planning a trip to NYC in April and am deciding which broadway show to get tickets to. I would love any suggestions. I was thinking of seeing Brooklyn, but I have not heard too many reviews about the show. I saw wicked last year and that was awesome. So, if anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.

I'll second Rose. Those would be very good choices.

All I know about Brooklyn is that it got bad reviews, but seems to have developed a bit of a cult following with certain teen-agers. It sounds like it has a pop-rock score that was designed to appeal to younger people who may prefer that sound to more traditional theatre music. I wouldn't like it, but if you're a high school or college student then you might. Maybe someone here has actually seen it though, and can give more specific information?

I saw Brooklyn in previews. It was HORRIBLE. As the Times reviewer said, there is no intermission because they are afraid people wouldn't return after it. They are right. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
I would add La Cage Aux Foilles and Little Women to your list as possibilities.
