The Best Broadway Shows I've Seen

A few of my favorite Broadway shows

The Best Broadway Shows I've Seen

1. Hamilton

I mean... Hamilton isn't one of the best. It is THE best show I've ever seen on Broadway. I'm usually into showstoppers (as you'll probably see throughout this article). Lin-Manuel Miranda said in an interview that he read the book by Ron Chernow and immediately thought, "How hasn't anyone made a musical about this?" I mean, only a genius thinks that way in my opinion. The storyline is incredible and the music is phenomenal. What makes this all so amazing is that Lin took a subject that some might think is dry and boring and set it to contemporary music.

2. If/Then

If/Then was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. This show is about a woman who is at a major cross-road in her life and wonders what would happen if she made one choice versus another. It really made me think about the decisions I make in my life and how my life could go into two different paths. Idina Menzel starred in this show as the main character. Hearing her live for the first time was one of the best experiences of my life. She is known as the first Elphaba in Wicked and Maureen in Rent.

3. Aladdin

I don't care what anyone says. Aladdin is one of the best shows I've seen live because of its amazing showstoppers. This show brought me to tears when Jasmine and Aladdin started singing 'A Whole New World'. James Monrow Iglehart who plays Genie was breathtaking. I remember my jaw dropping after his big number. I was amazed at how they brought an animated Disney movie to life.

4. Les Mis

Les Mis is the story of an ex-convict who decides to turn his life around. This show is a must-see classic. I sat in the very last row of the balcony and I was still so amazed. The music, the sets, the actors were all so phenomenal. It seriously took my breath away and I was so happy I was able to see the revival before it closed.

If you ever get to see any Broadway show, you definitely should! It takes us out of the world for a couple of hours and lets us appreciate art. I will always love theatre and the way it makes me feel. These just happen to be a few of my favorite Broadway shows.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
