Are you someone who loves musicals? If so, perhaps you’ve seen a Broadway show in Manhattan, or at the very least dreamt about going to see one. If you’ve never gotten a chance to see one and are wondering which shows to check out, we’ve got the ultimate guide for you. Here are some of the most classic Broadway musicals to ever see the light of day—which you can still see live.

Phantom of the Opera

Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Phantom of the Opera is one of the most popular Broadway shows of all time. Premiering in 1986 at The Majestic Theater in Times Square, the musical is amazingly still going strong. If you haven’t yet seen this musical, this is one of our top choices for you!

Hamilton

Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the last few years, Hamilton is also an excellent musical to go see, and it’s performed at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton reimagines the story of Alexander Hamilton and his role in the early days of the founding fathers of America.

Wicked

Wicked is a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, but primarily from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, or Elphaba. This musical is one of the biggest Broadway splashes of the 21st century, and it can be seen at the Gershwin Theatre in Manhattan once the lockdown is officially over.
