2. On Broadway? None. Road productions, several.
The most recent was "Chicago." I loved it.

4. I'm going to have to go with the recently closed "Exit The King"
I really like Ionesco. I sat in the second row and got a little spray from Geoffrey Rush.......

If you're talking Musicals, I'll say "Urinetown" although I did like "Spamalot" a lot

10. We recently saw The Lion King on Broadway. It was EXCELLENT!
The costumes and choreography were awesome. I highly recommend it. We have also seen CATS, The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago (twice), Rent and Wicked. Wicked was my favorite with Lion King a close second.

11. Mom always takes me when I'm in town
she's in an only-in-NYC women's amateur theatre group called The Snarks.

Favorite? "Spamalot" or "Doubt". Actually, my all-time favorite was a little off-Broadway musical in which the female co-lead was a dear friend, who really gets me right where I live when she starts singing... :loveya:

14. Several. I guess my favorite (so far) is "Phantom of the Opera"
I also really enjoyed "The Lion King," "The Music Man," "Cabaret" (at the old Studio 54), "The Color Purple." I wasn't crazy about "Urinetown," but the cast was talented and energetic. Seeing Hal Holbrook in "Mark Twain Tonight" was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

22. I've only seen one: Hello Dolly starring Betty Grable
We were so far up in the balcony, the stage looked like a bright, glowing postage stamp.
