What's Actually On Broadway?
Now, this is a question as old as time itself. Or at least as old as the first musical. The truth is, Broadway is a fickle mistress. Shows come, shows go, and some shows just refuse to leave (we're looking at you, Wicked). So, while I can't promise this list is 100% accurate by the time you read it (dramatic pause), here are some shows that are probably still dazzling audiences:
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
- The Classics: Wicked, The Lion King, Hamilton - these are the big dogs. They've been around for a while, but for good reason. They're like the comfort food of Broadway.
- The New Kids on the Block: Hadestown, Six: The Musical, Moulin Rouge! The Musical - These shows are fresh, exciting, and full of energy. They're like that new restaurant everyone's talking about.
- The Comedies: The Book of Mormon, Beetlejuice - If you need a good laugh, these shows are your ticket. Just be prepared to pee your pants a little.
How to Choose Your Show
Picking a Broadway show is like picking a flavor of ice cream: there's something for everyone. But how do you know which one to choose? Here are a few tips:
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.

- Know your genre: Do you prefer musicals, plays, or something in between?
- Check out reviews: Read what other people thought. But remember, everyone has different tastes.
- Consider your budget: Broadway tickets can be pricey, so set a budget before you start looking.
- Flip a coin: If all else fails, let fate decide.
Important Note: The Phantom Menace
I know what you're thinking: "Where's The Phantom of the Opera? It's a classic!" And you're absolutely right. But let's be honest, that chandelier drop is getting a bit old. Plus, we're all waiting for the day someone replaces the Phantom with a really good ventriloquist.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
So, there you have it. A quick and dirty guide to Broadway. Remember, the best show is the one you enjoy the most.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
