Hubby and I and 2 kids are going to New York and are going to see a couple of B'way shows.  Daughter and I are going to a matinee of Legally Blond and the whole family will see the evening performance of Lion King.  What is the appropriate attire.  Does hubby need to wear a tie and jacket.  I am clueless! Thanks for any info!

As far as NFL, I have been, and always will be, a Minnesota Vikings fan.  They have broken my heart so many times but I've been a fan 35 years now.  I grew up about 90 minutes south of Cleveland and have never even been to MN.  But I loved the color purple, the Purple People Eaters, Frank Tarkenton, Matt Blair, Chuck Foreman, etc.  It's my second longest relationship (my family being my first - LOL).

As for Andrew-Lloyd Webber plays, I know every word to every song from Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, and Phantom.  I also love A Chorus Line (not an ALW play).  I've seen it twice live and cried both times.  Most of the dancers' stories are just so sad. "At The Ballet" is my favorite.  Here's a youtube link.  Watch the third girl who comes in during the song (Maggie - played by Kay Cole) and watch her belt out a high E like you've never heard.  (around 4:54 into the song).

As a side note, the first girl who sings (Sheila) is played by Kelly Bishop who is on the Gilmore Girls (never saw show, just heard she was on it).

These people are the original Broadway cast. 

I've seen Evita live several times as well as JSC.  I actually got to see JCS with the original Jesus and Judas from the movie made in 1973 (Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson) at a performance in CT (Foxwoods Casino).  Unfortunately, we lost Carl Anderson (Judas) to leukemia a few years back.  There will never be another Judas like him, AFAIC.  Godspeed, Carl.

So, anyone else an NFL or ALW/Broadway play fan?  Anyone have any different Broadway plays they really like?
