Broadway Wicked Tickets Discount

Chicago, A chorus Line, Les Miseables, or Rent?

Leaving for NY tomorrow. Want to see a Broadway show. My daughter suggests Chicago. Which is best? I will either try the TKS booth at Times Square or use Theatermania for discount tickets. I know A Corus Line may not have any available.
By the way she hates Wicked!
Just a note, my daughter is 17 (she’ll be 18 in Sept.).

I’d skip Les Miz. Depending on your age and sensibilities you might not like Rent. I loved it but my mother thought it was “a rip-off of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar.” Clearly a generational thing for her, and she also thought it was just too loud.

Chicago is probably my very favorite musical. If you love Fosse and Kander and Ebb and an overall great story, see Chicago. My only criticism is that I question the choices of some of the people they’ve had playing in the lead roles in recent years. I don’t have any desire to see somebody like Brooke Shields in Chicago, or Usher for that matter.

A Chorus Line is a great, feel-good show as well. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the three but I would probably lean toward Chicago as a first choice and A Chorus Line as a backup.

David Burnham and Julie Reiber sing “As Long As You’re Mine” from Broadway’s Wicked
