Best in Broadway

February 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Broadway with all of its glitz and glory will never get, well, old. There is something to the glamour, the lights, and the dance that keeps our toes moving even if we’re only watching our favorite flick while sitting on the living room couch.

Here’s a best Broadway list to get you started or keep you going:

  • Chicago. How do two murderesses try for the fame they need in the 1920s to save them from the gallows?
  • Fiddler on the Roof. “If I were a Rich man”? Tevye is a Jewish man and his living conditions are not up to code—among other things.
  • Guys and Dolls. What happens when a bet = romance for a gambler and a female missionary?
  • The King and I. Place a school teacher and the King of Siam and his many children in the same room, and what happens?
  • The Music Man. What happens to a boy who sells band instruments and uniforms and rakes in the cash before they can be delivered?
  • The Sound of Music. Julie Andrews sings and dances and keeps the von Trapp family fun-filled and hopeful despite their father and the early tricks of the children who do not want a governess.
  • My Fair Lady. Can a “flower girl” be changed into a “lady,” and by an all-knowing professor, no less?
  • Oklahoma! Get ready to dance and feel some romance in this 1955 flick in the Oklahoma territory.
  • Oliver! A poor orphan boy, through multiple and varied feats of courage, must decide whether to continue his life as a pickpocket or to straighten out his life.

And the list doesn’t stop here. If you’re a fan of Cats, Godspell or Bye Bye Birdie, DVDS are available to wet your broadway lips. Check out cduniverse for your next Broadway flick.
