Need Broadway Help..

so I bought tix for me & DH to see A Bronx Tale on Broadway. for Christmas. I was going to make a nice little weekend out of it since we live in RI.

BUT THEN My MOH went the other night & told me to re-gift the tickets

So... now what tickets do I buy. DH is not really into drama, so I want something fun/light/not a chick show. I know Jersey Boys is supposed to be great. But what else?

Re: Need Broadway Help..

Wicked, Ave Q and Chicago seem to be popular w/the boys.
DH liked Wicked and Chicago, and he's def. not a theater/drama person.

Re: Need Broadway Help..

Avenue Q definitely!

Re: Need Broadway Help..

i would do Jersey Boys(#1!), Wicked or Mama Mia. ps: if u don't mind spending the mula you HAVE to get breakfast at Norma's...it's in the Parker Meridien Hotel. It's kinda expensive, but SERIOUSLY - it is amazing. took DH for his birthday one year...it's totally worth the cash!

Avenue Q is supposed to be hysterical too....as long as u can handle dirty humor!!!

Re: Need Broadway Help..

I agree w/ seeing Ave Q. It's great!!! Sooo funny! DH never saw a play b4 so for my B-Day a few years ago he got us tix to see it (b/c he figured his first play should be puppets and not an opera).

It's the Muppets on crack... LOL! Kidding, but you wouldn't believe how dirty these furry guys can be.

Re: Need Broadway Help..

Avenue Q or Spamalot if you guys enjoy Monty Python - it's hysterical!

Re: Need Broadway Help..

mamma mia is fantastic. DH bought these tix for my bday and we had a BLAST, and he's not too much into musicals.. its actually a really nice story and HILLARIOUS.. theyre pretty much making fun of ABBA through alot of it
