The Shows!

I finally am posting about the three shows I saw on Broadway in October. I actually have added two more to the list that I saw this past weekend. :)

First Date-(musical) Zachary Levi and Krysta Rodriguez
If you've ever been on a first date or a blind date, then I am pretty sure you will find this show pretty dang funny! We were pretty much laughing the whole way through. But as a warning, though, they swore quite a bit, especially the f word and it is definitely a play for adults. 

Once- (musical) Arthur Darville and Joanna Christie
This show was a unique Broadway experience as they did not have an orchestra and there were not many set changes. The actors on stage played the instruments as well as sang and there were not that many cast members. With that said, the music was beautiful and the actors excellent. They swore quite a bit in this show too. It is definitely a more serious show, but it was lovely with an interesting but sad storyline.

Newsies-(musical) Corey Cott, Ben Fankhauser, Kara Lindsay, Andy Richardson, Joshua Colley
I have now seen this show twice and I loved it both times!  If you know the movie Newsies, just know that it is quite a bit different from that. The basic songs are the same, but different at the same time.  But the dancing was phenomenal and the singing awesome! I cannot say enough how much I loved this show! It is definitely a family friendly show.

Annie-(musical) Taylor Richardson, Faith Prince, Brynn O'Malley, Anthony Warlow
This show was really cute!  It also is different from the movie, but still so good! The kids in it are adorable and the singing lovely! The set changes were pretty magical. 

Phantom of the Opera- (muscial) Greg Mills, Mary Michael Patterson, Jeremy Hays, Michele McConnell
What can I say? It's Phantom of the Opera. I feel like it's kind of a classic. The singing was pretty much awesome!
