Do you like Broadway plays? If so which plays have you seen or liked? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hawkee · 09-24-2023, 04:15 AM

During my morning routine each day I always watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day parades on Youtube year round and it always puts me in a good mood when I have a bad day or when i'm sick sometimes. During some of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades I watch I have found and discovered some interesting Broadway plays and so i'm asking everyone if you have any favorite Broadway plays and which plays would you like to see or have seen? Today I watched the 2015 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and discovered a Broadway play of Honeymoon In Vegas that starred Tony Danza and I didn't know that Honeymoon In Vegas had been made into a Broadway play but Tony Danza really shows his singing talent in this play very well
Feel free to tell me your favorite Broadway play

I've only seen 1 Broadway play and that's when I went to NYC in 1999.

DEATH OF A SALESMAN at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre

I've seen too many to name.

My favorites were:

Fiddler on the Roof
Man of La Mancha

Probably a close second to Fiddler on the Roof was Springsteen on Broadway, but that wasn't a traditional show.

Have you ever seen the Broadway play Motown The Musical? I happened to see a clip of it during the 2014 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Youtube today and it was a wonderful show devoted to Motown and it was well done for a play

I never saw Motown, but I did see Ain't Too Proud, which is about The Temptations. Excellent show.

I did see a clip of Ain't Too Proud To Beg The Life And Times Of The Temptations on the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and from what I saw of it it is really excellent and well done. I also saw a clip from a Broadway play called Bombay Dreams that was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and that is also fantastic too

Hawkee · 09-27-2023, 01:45 AM

The Broadway play I always wanted to see is Mamma Mia because it's a fantastic play and the movie version does it justice. Because I'm a ABBA fan who knew that taking ABBA songs and transforming them into a Broadway play could work so well

Hawkee · 09-29-2023, 01:15 AM

Have you heard of the Broadway play Wonderful Town? It starred Brooke Shields and it's about two sisters seeking fame and romance in New York and I discovered this play in the 2006 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Youtube today and it's a good play

Hawkee · 10-02-2023, 04:10 AM

Have you heard of a Broadway play named Jelly's Last Jam? It was a play devoted to the life of jazz artist Jelly Roll Morton and it looked amazing when I saw it featured in the 1992 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and if you love jazz music this play is worth seeing

Hawkee · 10-03-2023, 03:58 AM

The three Broadway plays I also like is Wicked Hairspray and Jersey Boys. Wicked I started to like when my aunt saw it on Youtube and she told me about it and so I got the Broadway cast recording of Wicked and I loved it and then why Hairspray is my favorite because when I first heard about the Hairspray musical movie I started becoming Hairspray obsessed and collected the soundtracks and the Broadway cast recording of Hairspray too and it's a feel good type of Broadway play that will get you in a good mood. Jersey Boys I like because of the oldies music featured in it

Penny Lane · 10-03-2023, 01:11 PM

I have never seen a Broadway play although some come to my area occasionally. I have to say they don't interest me at all. I hate most show tunes! so musicals are definitely out.

Not to blow my own horn (although that’s always fun), but I did this same thread topic back in January.

When I was watching the 2015 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I found a Broadway play called A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder and from what I saw on Youtube it's a really wonderful play about a English gentleman who's in love with his crush but little does he know that another girl wants to be his crush and it's very nice. I also saw The Last Ship which is a play created by singer Sting in that same parade and it was alright but seemed to be not popular when it debuted on Broadway but Sting really showed his Broadway talent well

Yong Fang · 10-10-2023, 08:39 PM

I never have. I could watch a play that it is either compelling or funny. Just as long as no one sings. No song and dance please.

Caroline13 · 10-10-2023, 10:27 PM

I have probably seen 1/2 dozen in my life and last one was Mama Mia at Pantages in LA, loved it, love Abba music.
