When I was a teenager, I volunteered to usher at our local community theater just so I could see the plays for free. I was always enchanted by the musicals.
Night after night I would sit totally engrossed in the play and the music. Occasionally, I would be so moved by the actors that I would forget that I actually had responsibilities during intermission and after the production ended. I really just wanted to sit there, close my eyes and try to memorize the scenes, the lyrics, the lines, simply everything that I had seen.
Broadway Musical Favorites

| The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast) |
While those two Broadway musicals stand out in my mind as my personal all time favorites, I have seen many other remarkable musicals including Beauty & The Beast which I just happened to take in while visiting Chicago. I had always considered it a child's play, but I found it incredibly enchanting and entertaining even as an adult.
Hello, Dolly! (1994 Broadway Revival Cast)Check Price Many years ago, I had the pleasure of seeing some of what I consider to be the Broadway Musical classics. I mentally danced along with Anna and the King of Siam in The King & I, I explored the mountainside and fell in love right along with Maria in The Sound of Music. I played a serenading violin in my mind as I absorbed Fiddler on the Roof and I shall never, ever forget seeing Carol Channing up close and personal in Hello Dolly. I was gifted front row seats for that musical and Miss Channing was beyond incredible!
I remember some of the musicals plays I attended in my youth better than others, but I very much look forward to seeing their revivals in upcoming productions. I often seek out reviews of Broadway musicals prior to purchasing tickets to determine if I really wish to see a particular production. That is especially important in difficult economic times when we need to be a bit more discerning about how we spend our money.
Therefore, I would love to read your reviews of your favorite romantic Broadway musicals! If you have previously published a review, please leave the link in the guestbook below.
