If you plan on visiting the Big Apple this summer, you’ll want to take a stroll down the Great White Way in Midtown NYC where you’ll find the Theatre District of New York between 42nd and 53rd street. Here are the Broadway Musicals you can’t miss while in New York:
- Memphis: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. This Tony Award winning musical is an enthralling combination of forbidden interracial love, rock’n'roll feel good music written by Bon Jovi’s David Bryan, and an inspiring reenactment of the legendary DJ Dewey Phillips’ musical breakthroughs. Set in the segregated south in the 1950′s, Memphis is currently playing at the Shubert.
- American Idiot: You probably never thought the punk rock sensation Greenday would ever become a Broadway musical, but it’s time to think again. Currently playing at the St James Theater, American Idiot features the hit tracks from Greenday’s album and some of their new hits from their 21st Century Breakdown album. Though the band is not actually present, their music fills the background as working-class characters move from the burbs to the city to the Middle east seeking redemption from a world filled with frustration.
- The Addams Family: Featuring a star studded cast that includes Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, the new and improved version of the original spooky Addams Family is playing at the Lunt Fontanne Theater.
