The Hits (That Won't Make You Want to Hit Snooze)
Currently gracing the stages of Boston are some absolute show-stoppers. We're talking classics like Les Mis�rables (because who doesn't love a good French revolution singalong?), feel-good rom-com vibes with Mamma Mia! (dust off your dancing shoes!), and the fresh take on Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers with & Juliet (spoiler alert: this time, they might actually make it work!).
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
But wait, there's more! If girl power anthems are your jam, then Six is a must-see. And for those who crave a good dose of nostalgic childhood magic, Peter Pan will have you believing in fairies all over again.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Feeling like a laugh? Funny Girl promises side-splitting humor, while The Book of Mormon (not for the easily offended) will have you questioning your funny bone in the best way possible.

Avoiding the Drama (Behind the Scenes)
So you've picked your show, but dread the battle of securing tickets? Fear not, intrepid theatergoer! Here are a few tips:
- Plan Ahead: Popular shows can sell out fast, so snag those tickets well in advance.
- Weekdays are your Friend: Weekend shows are pricier and more crowded. Consider a Tuesday night matinee for a (potentially) lighter wallet and fewer crowds.
- Discount Diva? We Got You: Look for discounts offered by theater groups or student programs.
Remember: Sometimes, a little last-minute luck can score you a gem. Check for day-of ticket sales or try your luck at the box office!
