Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

I’m planning on seeing a Broadway show with Cathi & Debra while in NYC.
Which show would you recommend?

  1. My husband and I saw Little Mermaid a few years ago and that was great. I am itching to see Wicked too.

    I’ve lost track of which Broadway shows are running. The one Broadway show I saw was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat while in college.

    I’ve never seen any actually on Broadway, but I would highly recommend the Lion King! We saw it in Seattle and even from the nosebleed section it was AWESOME! The costumes are unreal!

    Actually, I have seen a few in my time, and I loved them all, but there was one special one that I went to see with my Godmother & my mother at the Shubert Theater many years ago, and naturally it’s my favorite “HELLO DOLLY”. How colorful and the songs great! Carol Channing played Dolly.

  13. I don’t know what’s showing now, but I can almost guarantee that you can’t go wrong with any show on B’way! Have fun!

  14. I’ll let the other women / men give you advice. I am clueless :)

    Aloha!

  17. The last time I was in NY we saw The Lion King and Hair Spray. Those were both good. I’m not sure what’s playing now but you know whatever is there it’s going to be good.

  18. I saw CATS and it was pretty good, but I was 17 at the time and I haven’t been back to NYC since. Hair Spray would be awesome too – I love that story! I have no idea whats current though. Its a ton of fun to see a live show, enjoy it!

  20. I’m dying to see Rock of Ages. I haven’t asked hubby yet but I might have to see if a friend would be willing to go with me instead. He’s not a musical kind of guy. It’s sad, being that we live so close to the city but I’ve only ever seen Rent!

  21. Les Miserable is my favorite but I think Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is running which is a fantastic show

  22. Kristen says:

    phantom of the opera is good

  23. Tiffany says:

    I’d go see Lion King, even though I have no idea what shows are available to see on Broadway. I did go see Cats for my 30th Birthday. It was a Broadway show here in Daytona Beach, it was awesome!

  29. I would highly recommend RENT…but I don’t think it’s playing anymore and I loved Lion King too…again, don’t know if it’s still on :) They’re all good! I bet The Colour Purple is great… Happy Aloha Friday!

  33. Haave fun on your trip to NYC. My question is here
    CMash

  34. I would see The Little Mermaid or Mary Poppins since I’ve wanted to see one of those for the longest time. The Lion King, Wicked, and Legally Blonde are a few that I have seen and absolutely loved.
    Have a great time! I’m so jealous that you get to see a play on Broadway! :)

    My pick is Phantom of the Opera. I have seen it like 20 times! I just love it! But I also have to say that I love the Disney plays, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins have all been amazing and so much fun! Rent and Wicked are also a favorites, if you ever get the chance to see those in tour.

  37. When we were there that is one of the only things that we didn’t do…but if I was to do it all over, I would have watched Hairspray!
