I've been a big fan of musicals for as long as I can remember. Going to the theatre was always a treat while I was growing up, since it was an hour and a half away. I loved the intricate wood carvings, and the luxe red velvet seats, everyone in their fancy clothes! The first show I really remember was 'Les Mis.' I've never been the same since, lol.
Now that I live in a proper city that hosts international tours, I try to go often. Tickets are very expensive though, and honestly some shows I can't raise an interest in for some reason. 'Annie' was here earlier in the year and I couldn't be bothered going - just not into it.
My overall favorite, to which there will never be compare, remains 'Les Mis.' I've seen it 9 times now, and will never stop seeing it. I was heartbroken when I saw (while searching for shows in NY) that it is returning to Broadway and we'll be missing it by 2 months. It depressed me enough that I took a break from trying to decide which shows to see for about a week.
What shows has everyone here seen? And which are your favorites? Any Broadway favorites for us to check out?
