CONGRATS TO WINNER JACKY!
It is snowy and gross out today, so let’s do a giveaway!
This spring, Alec Baldwin (Emmy® Award winner 30 Rock, Oscar® nominee The Cooler, Tony® nominee A Streetcar Named Desire) and Ben Foster (Emmy® and SAG Award winner, The Messenger, 3:10 to Yuma, 360, Contraband, Here and The Mechanic) are joined by Tom Sturridge (Being Julia, Like Minds, The Boat That Rocked and On the Road) in Broadway’s most talked about, darkly comic play: Orphans.
Two orphaned brothers live in a decrepit North Philadelphia row house. They survive by petty thievery and a steady diet of tuna fish and daytime television until the violent older brother decides to kidnap Harold (Baldwin), a notorious Chicago gangster. Harold soon becomes their father figure and the force that will forever change their lives.

Would love to win these! I think my fave Broadway show was the original cast of The Producers. Currently of course Book of Mormon and The Other Place was a pleasant surprise (although not such a pleasant subject).
Loved “Chicago”! Also saw the previews of “Hands on a Hardbody” which was also great.
Love Book of Mormon, excited about hearing the songs of Motown.
Jersey Boys was my favorite that is still showing! Fosse is my Favorite that is not showing anymore.
My favorite is Rent with my close seconds!
Wicked is my favorite!
My favorite Broadway show of all time is Les Mis. My favorite current show is the very funny Book of Mormon.
Rent is my favorite!
My favorite Broadway show was A Chorus Line. As a kid, I knew every word to every song and would dance and sing to it around my living room!
It’s hard to pick a favorite. I loved Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike when I saw it at Lincoln Center and now it’s coming to Broadway, so I’ll pick that one!
I loved “in the Heights” !
Avenue Q!
My favorite broadway show is Mary Poppins!!
My favorite show is Rent!

My favorite has to be HAIR!!! The songs are catchy and the nude piece never gets old. Plus, I love the old hippie-thing and eclectic group.
Cats
I love Rent too!
My favorite Broadway show was Roundabout’s 2003 Production of Big River, which featured a deaf cast and was presented both as a traditional musical and with sign language. It made a huge impression on me!

Newsies is pretty awesome!
I would say my favorite I saw on Broadway is Rent followed by Pippin (coming soon!)
My favorite Broadway show was Will Ferrell’s “You’re Welcome America – A Final Night with George W. Bush.” It was about the funniest, most enjoyable show I’ve ever seen on Broadway. I’ve liked lots of “heavier” shows, too, but this one is at the top of my list for pure entertainment factor!
Ghost The Musical
This one may be a little unconventional, but I liked The 39 Steps. It was very well done technically, funny and well acted.
I love Book of Mormon!

What a wonderful giveaway!!
My favorite is The Lion King
My favorite Broadway show is Wicked, with Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel!
Anything by Sondheim but if I had to pick one it would be Sunday in the Park with George.
I loved Memphis!
Choosing a favorite Broadway show is what I imagine a parent would feel having to choose a favorite child! I would have to say that my favorite from the current season is “The Mystery Of Edwin Drood.” It was so much fun, and unlike any show I’ve ever seen. I also loved “Anything Goes” from last year. Older favorites include “Mary Poppins”, “Fela”, “The Lion King”, “Bombay Dreams”, and “The Boy From Oz.”
So hard to decide. Sweeney Todd, Les Miz, there are so many good ones. Even ones that didn’t make it like A Tale of Two Cities and Coram Boy. But I think I’ll go with Sweeney Todd for creativity.
Definitely A Chorus Line
American Idiot
One Man Two Governers!
I love the new show kinky boots cant wait ti see Orphans
I didn’t even expect to like Rock of Ages, but I was dragged there and now I’m grateful. Great show based on dead-at-inception music.
Wicked is my fave, love love love the music! Although Les Mis will be a close second once I finally see the musical version!
I love the show Jersey boys.
Phantom of the Opera. Classic.
My favorite is ’42nd Street.’
It’s gotta be Rent!
KINKY BOOTS! Enough said
Next to Normal. Heartbreaking and so, so good.
super hard to pick but gotta be les mis!
The legend that is Phillip Seymour Hoffman in ‘Death of a Salesman.’ Andrew Garfield, also, killer. Incredible performances. Want to see if Ben Foster can bring it too.
Jesus Christ Superstar
August: Osage County!
I would love to attend a Broadway show. I haven’t been to one in over ten years.
Angels In America
The Book of Mormon.
I was laughing through the whole musical.
