5 Must-See Broadway Shows
AbreteSesamoBlog

There are so many shows on Broadway and off Broadway. These are my top five shows to see!

1. "Aladdin:"

"Aladdin" is based on the Disney Movie "Aladdin" about Jasmine's father's desire to have her wed, where the street rat Aladdin comes in. Overall everyone has responded very positively to Disney's "Aladdin" the Broadway Musical, such as Elysa Gardner from USA Today who said, "It's Genie-us! It delivers a rush that will surprise you!" and including some of my own friends.

2. "Hamilton"

"Hamilton" is the new hit musical going on now about one man named Lin-Manuel Miranda trying to make his mark on the world. The show is sold out for many show dates. I have heard nothing but great reviews especially according to Ben Brantley of the New York Times who said "Historic. 'Hamilton' is brewing up a revolution. This is a show that aims impossibly high and hits its target. It's probably not possible to top the adrenaline rush."


3. "The Lion King"

"The Lion King" is an absolute classic adaptation of the Disney movie "The Lion King," of a young prince Lion, Simba. If you haven't seen it yet you definitely should! Chris Willman from Entertainment Weekly says "The breathtakingly staged Broadway adaptation of Disney's king of the cartoon jungle is an instant theater classic." and I could not agree more!


4. "Les Miserables"


"Les Miserables" is a play based on a book by Victor Hugo about the "survival of the human spirit." Many people absolutely love this play and the iconic songs that go along with it! David Finkle from The Huffington Post agrees positively saying "A sizzling 'Les Miz' for the 21st century!"

5. "Wicked"

"Wicked" is also a classic. It is about the untold story of "The Wizard of Oz"'s Wicked Witch of the West and of course with Glinda the Good Witch. There is nothing but positivity shown in the faces of the those who have seen the play and the critics, like Linda Winer from Newsday saying "What a spectacle this is! Keep your eye on the witches. These wonderful girls from Oz are a delight."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1997
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
