If you're someone who is out of the musical theatre loop (what is Hamilton and why do they have to sing about everything?!) or If you're someone who just doesn't get the obsession that us theatre nerds have, here are 5 musicals that you might actually enjoy:
1. The Book Of Mormon
This musical, written by the guys behind the TV show South Park, is absolutely hilarious. Warning: if you're easily offended, this is NOT the one for you!
2. Les Miserables
If you're someone who doesn't spend a lot of time in an actual theatre or there isn't one near you, the movie version of Les Miserables is decently true-to-form. As long as you can get past the fact that Wolverine is singing, you'll be all set!
3. Avenue Q
Yes. This is a musical with puppets. However, the puppets make this comedy even more hilarious. I definitely recommend this musical if, again, you're not easily offended.
4. Chicago
Chicago is an unforgettable show. It's witty, funny and extremely entertaining. The characters are wild and the songs are catchy. I definitely recommend this one!
5. Into The Woods
Into The Woods will always have a special place in my heart. It's dark, yet funny and of course extremely entertaining. The movie version, though good, doesn't quite do it justice. I do recommend seeing this musical staged if you can.
