You know I did. Did you know that you can now see the film, Once, on Netflix?

I was not sure if you did.
I didn't know it's on Netflix, but I'm gonna check it out ...
I saw Glen Hansard on Tuesday night in NYC. Incredible show.
just saw "Beautiful: the Carol King Story" with teen daughter. We both loved it

Beautiful was pretty good. We saw it early this year ...
Once is supposed to be wonderful as a musical... I somehow missed it on Broadway but may catch it in New Brunswick too. You can also see upcoming musicals close to home at MPAC - Ragtime is coming January 28, A Night with Janis Joplin February 25 and more.
But to answer your question about Broadway, I did see Fun Home and it's terrific. However, it's not a "traditional" musical so it depends on what type of experience you're looking for. I'd almost describe it more like a play with music. It's a really strong character piece, if that makes sense.
If you haven't already, choose a date 6-8 months out and go ahead and buy Hamilton. You won't regret it!!
Curious Incident is definitely on my list. How did you like it?
I also can't believe I haven't seen King & I yet. Kelli O'Hara hung the moon as far as I'm concerned, and I'll kick myself if I miss it. (So buy a damn ticket already, she says!!)
I echo Tarheels’ endorsement of “Fun Home.” It’s superb and is, indeed, basically a play with some very engaging music. I would put it on par with “Curious Incident” in terms of character development and of intricacy of the staging in support of the story.

In case you couldn't tell, I really liked it.

Saw Fun Home at the Public a while ago. It is NOT like going to see Jersey Boys or Beautiful..Each has it's pluses and minuses but I wouldn't see Fun Home if I was in the mood for a song and dance. I loved it as well. But I also loved Newsies, so there is no accounting for my taste!
I really liked Hand to God, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. Enjoyed Beautiful a lot, too. And, of course, Wicked and Book of Mormon are both terrific.
Thanks, Tom, and others. Will see what I can get.

In case you couldn't tell, I really liked it.

Hamilton was one of the best I've seen. We bought tickets 5 months in advance.
Something Rotten is great - especially if you are at least somewhat familiar with Shakespeare and Broadway Musicals, as it is a spoof on both. My daughter and I loved it!

Looking for a Broadway play. Musicals preferred. Saw A Gentleman's Guide. Saw Curious Incident. Hand To God? Something Rotten? Other thoughts?
