Your Guide to Broadway

Broadway is buzzing after its highest-grossing season in history (2010-2011), and 2011-2012 is shaping up to be even more exciting! The touching play War Horse, about a boy and his beloved pet horse separated by war, and the riotously funny Book of Mormon, about Mormon missionaries finding their way in a poverty-stricken Ugandan village, proved to be the stars of the 2011 Tony Awards, and they have never been more popular. And there are a number of other spectacular shows as well, including the star-studded revivals of Anything Goes, a comedy about love and mistaken identity set on board a cruise ship, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, about a scrappy window-washer's climb up the corporate ladder. For some good, old-fashioned disco fun, see the flashy Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The divine Sister Act, also based on the movie of the same name, finds a young woman trapped in a convent in the witness protection program, leaving her nothing to do but teach the nuns to sing their hearts out.

Some of the most exciting plays of the year include The Mountaintop, an imaginative look into the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett, Stick Fly, a modern comedy of manners produced by Alicia Keys, and Other Desert Cities, the story of a blue-blooded family rocked by the release of a tell-all memoir.

Clearly, there are a bunch of great new shows, but don't forget about the tried-and-true staples of Broadway, including: the magical Wicked, the story of the witches of Oz before Dorothy came to town; the nostalgic Jersey Boys, about the rise and fall of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons; the inspirational Billy Elliot, about a blue-collar boy whose unlikely dream to dance is threatened by his poverty and the macho attitude of his family; the hummable Mamma Mia!, featuring the songs of ABBA; the dramatic Phantom of the Opera, about a mysterious, deformed man's relationship with a beautiful, young ingenue; and the sinful Chicago, about femme fatales trying to get away with murder. For some family-friendly hits, try The Lion King, based on the Disney movie about a young lion cub growing into his destiny and saving his people, and Mary Poppins, about a remarkable nanny who is just what the troubled Banks family ordered. For a rockin' time, try last year's Tony-winning Best Musical, Memphis, or the perennial hit jukebox musical Rock of Ages. And for some highly buzzed-about web-slinging action, join the crowds at Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

If you've already seen everything you care to see on Broadway, why not take a peek at what Off-Broadway has to offer. You might just be surprised at the quality you see there. Off-Broadway shows are often edgier and more experimental, perfect for the theater buff and the curious patron.
