We love musicals, and since we also plan to see a couple in London
(possibly Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables) I have chosen The
Producers as my first pick for Broadway, and possibly Avenue Q or
Wicked. The latter hasn't had good reviews but I have just ploughed my
way through the book, on my daughter's recommendation. It was a bit
preachy at times.
