Before Hamilton, the hottest show on Broadway was the Book of Mormon. Ticket prices were through the roof and you likely had to win a lottery, buy a ticket months in advance, or spend an exorbitant amount of money in order to get your hands on a ticket. And it was worth it. Book of Mormon is an entertaining show on the very sensitive subject of religion, which it handles hilariously.

Musical Review: Avenue Q

Details: Won the 2004 Tony Award for best musical. The official site is http://www.avenueq.com/#home. The playbill for the original Broadway cast can be found at http://www.playbill.com/production/avenue-q-john-golden-theatre-vault-0000008380

Though Avenue Q came out years ago, it’s still a show whose music I listen to periodically and can still give me a chuckle. This is a review of the original Broadway show and obviously the passage of time affects my opinion of this show.
