The Lion King
Being one of the most spectacular Broadway productions, The Lion King has been New York's best-selling musical since 1997. Those who can obtain the tickets will be treated to the popular Disney animated film. Thanks to the amazing scenery and music by Elton John, the show has received six Tony Awards and an Evening Standard Award.
Aladdin
This theatrical version of the prominent Disney movie from the 1990s is another animated masterpiece. Everything about it is astounding, exceptional, and applaud-worthy. This Broadway Aladdin musical is generating a stir among the public because of its innovative songs, deft staging, thoughtful character portrayal, and the consistently funny humor of the Genie.
Chicago
Chicago Broadway is a beloved classical show that whisks us back to the 1920s era in every season. Against the backdrop of jazz music and a Prohibition that encouraged illicit dealings, corruption, and murder in the big city, this musical is intended for a mature audience but manages to slip into the top 10, winning six Tony Awards.
Moulin Rouge
Fans of the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, featuring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, won't want to miss this amazing experience that transports them to a bygone era of bohemian Paris. It's full of color, lights, and emotions. The young writer Christian and the cabaret singer Satine's romantic love tale is the focus of the production.
The Book of Mormon
Comments
If you want to get gripped by a laughing fever then the Broadway musical, The Book of Mormon is a must-watch with a distinct audial experience. You will be left with an enjoyable feeling after buying tickets for this satire about a Mormon couple who are attempting to spread their faith in Uganda. Without a doubt, the hallmark of this musical from the makers who created the South Park series is its contentious comedy.
