I live in NY and I plan on seeing a musical or show. What do you reccomend to make my first show great? I've heard Grease might ve good by the time it's out. I want your opinions!

I've seen Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables in NY-both were awesome.
Wicked is supposed to be excellent as well-I love the soundtrack and would like to see it too.
I've heard very good things about Mama Mia-if you like ABBA.
Don't know about Grease since it hasn't opened yet, but it would probably be a fun time.
Depending on your preferences, I don't think that you can go wrong with any of the current musicals playing on Broadway.
A poster earlier recommended listening to the soundtrack of Wicked if you are planning on seeing it-this is excellent advice for most of the musicals...sometimes it is difficult to catch all of the lyrics the first time. Plus, for me, it's more fun to listen to people perform songs that I've heard at least once before.
Have fun!

Wicked is great, but probably hard to get tickets to. Wicked's always sold out. Phantom of the Opera was the first Broadway I ever saw, and it was marvelous. I also saw RENT, and it's great as well. Les Miserables is my favorite Broadway (with Phantom), and it will be going off Broadway in the summer, so it'd be a great one to go see before it's gone, because it's fantastic!
Enjoy!

WICKED! the original cast was better, but the music is AMAZING. whiever one you choose, listen to the soundtrack before you go to get the full value of it; be familiar with the story so you understand it! HAVE FUN!
