Opera- La Boheme- saw it in London and loved it! I also love Rent (I know it's not the same!)
Musical- Cabaret, The Producers (with Matthew and Nathan- can't wait for the movie). I have actually loved all of the plays I have see- Les Mis, Avenue Q, Phantom, etc
Favorite Play- 700 Sundays (Billy Crystal 1 man show). That was amazing!

fave play- NAKED BOYS SINGING
I saw a few other plays and to be honest, I just dont like Broadway. Does nothing for me.
Last 2 plays I saw, I fell asleep. Its a good thing I guess because FH hates the combination of singing and dancing. If someone bursts into song, he gets so mad he wants to punch something, LOL
we went to church around Easter to see the Stations of the Cross acted out. They started singing and acting- he had to leave.

I love 'Crazy for You', with the music of the Gershwins.
Love South Pacific, too.
Fh's favorite is Rent. He fell asleep in the FRONT ROW at 42nd St.

'into the woods' although i've never actually seen it - i love plays/musicals/operas but really havent had the opportunity to see many - i also thought 'dance with the vampires' was great and i actually saw that one!

I love Miss Saigon...okay, I admit it, I have never seen the play But I love the music so much that I am sure I would LOVE the play. Of the plays I have seen I really liked Phantom of the Opera

I've seen a lot of B'way show but my favorite I actually saw in London. I saw the Lion King over there and it was amazing. I've never seen it in NY- I bet you it's even better here.
Also love Rent, Chicago and Mamma Mia.
Next I want to see Wicked- I'm reading the book it's based on now.

Miss Saigon is my favorite play. I've never been to an opera but I plan on some time soon. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

hmmm... this is a hard one. Fave play is probably Closer - I saw it off Broadway my first time in NY and it was amazing. Fave musical is probably Lion King, with Les Mis as a close second. Dying to see Wicked... the Producers... Avenue Q... and Spamalot.

Musical - Cabaret. I cried when it closed but I have the movie an watch it often (I love Liza!). Also Chicago. Anything Bob Fosse actually.
Opera - another vote for La Boheme.
Play - Death of a Salesman and anything Shakepeare.
