Well, I 'd have to say 42nd Street because my Mom and Dad took me when I was sooooooo young. Loved it! It was my 1st Broadway play.BUT.... Les Miserables when, I can't think of her name!.... sings 'On My Own'.... WOW.
I must say that I cried like a baby from beginning to end at the Lion King.
I get that whole musical weirdness from my Mom.... Thankk god.
It's all so powerful

OMG!!! It HAD to be The Lion King. My mom has seen it 3 times and she cried each time. So when she got me tix I told her I was not going to cry. UNFORTUNATELY, I couldnt control the emotions that came over me when the first note from 'rahfiki' came out....I totally lost it. It was amazing!!!

hey I am so happy you responded to this b/c I am seriously thinking of taking FH to see Carmen for his bday.
we wanted to buy season tix, but we are going away instead, but I wanted to get atleast one show in. I saw La Boheme last year and loved it, and we both saw the Baz Luhrman on bway, so I thought Carmen would be a good one.
Is Carmen a good choice for a guy that enjoys opera (another thing was the Zeppherelli sets!)

Carmen is an excellent choice for a guy that enjoys opera. I saw it for the first time last fall, and we've been wanting to get my father to Opera and my step-mother thought (as well as us) that this would be a good one. It's a fun opera and most of the music is recongnizable. We're taking my father and stepmother to a matinee performance Thanksgiving weekend (two days after we get back from our honeymoon).
