Broadway Plays

By far the BEST part of our trip!

We saw four plays while in New York City! Our original reason for going was to see The Producers with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. While we were there, though, we picked up tickets to three other plays:

  • The Boy from Oz
      The story of the life of composer, singer, and songwriter Peter Allen. Hugh Jackman played the leading role and was absolutely fantastic.
  • Hairspray
      A musical adaptation of the John Waters movie of the same name. This is a FUN play and I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. Harvey Fierstein was hilarious as the mother
  • Little Shop of Horrors
      This was AWESOME! We got back row tickets, but who cares? The acting and singing were incredible and the puppetry outstanding

If we'd had more time I would have loved to have seen even MORE plays!


After the play Hugh Jackman came out to sign autographs He was a very nice man
Autograph Hounds after The Producers
Hairspray after the play - a fun play - I highly recommend it
Hairspray is a sell out but we got lottery tickets - back row, but it was worth it
Little Shop of Horrors showing in the Virginia Theater - a rather small theater

Little Shop of Horrors was the third play we saw - It was wonderful
Matthew Broderick signed autographs after the show
Nathan Lane graciously signed autographs after the show

People started lining up early hoping to get standing room only seats this show has been sold out for months
PJ Woodhouse played young Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz and did an outstanding job
Roy the day before we saw The Producers
St James Theater before the show
Sublimely ridiculous is an apt description of this wonderful play

The St James Theater is where the first B'way Musical was ever held -Oklahoma-

This is the first play we saw on Wednesday-The life of Peter Allen It was very god
This was truly the experience of a lifetime for both of us

When both of them were out on stage I couldn't help but whisper to Roy -Timon and Simba in the flesh!
