If you’re planning on visiting the Big Apple at some point, you’ll undoubtedly want to check out Broadway, the city’s enigmatic theatre district, famous all over the globe for its world-beating productions.
Choosing a show that you will enjoy, however, can be a challenge, especially if you don’t have much experience with the theatre.
The type of show that you should see depends on several factors. First, if you’re new, then you’ll want to make sure that you have a “classic” experience and watch a “must-see” show that has received universal acclaim. Productions like Phantom of the Opera and Chicago fit into this category.
You’ll also want to consider what type of person you are. Extroverts, for instance, are likely to enjoy shows that include audience participation. More introverted people, however, might prefer a production that allows them to blend into the audience and just observe.
Finally, you’ll want to think about the kind of shows that you enjoy on TV and streaming services – they’ll have a significant impact on the sort of live productions you’ll like on the West End.
Fortunately, the above discussion doesn’t have to be theoretical. Below, you’ll find a decision tree that will direct you to the perfect show for you, whether you’re somebody who likes the classics or something a little more modern. All you need to do is answer the questions and then follow your choice of response to the next question before you arrive at a show suggestion. Try it for yourself!
