Broadway Musicals You HAVE To Go See

Written by: Kanita Tariq 


We're lucky enough to live in an area that is just a train, bus, or car ride away from the Big Apple. Everyone loves a Broadway musical, and with such easy access, there's no excuse not to get your hands on tickets to go see one. Here are five of the top shows you can see during your next trip to New York City.

Transport yourself into a whole new world with this classic Disney tale. Join a charming thief, a strong-willed princess, and a quick-witted genie on their journey to defeat the power-hungry villain, with romance, adventure, and a magic carpet. An enchanting fairytale with a love story and knee-slapping humor? Good thing we don't need three wishes from a genie to see this musical!


The Lion King

Another beloved Disney adaptation with the perfect mix of humor, sadness, and adventure. You'd think that performing talking lions would be difficult, but there's a reason why this is the longest running shows in Broadway history. Sing your heart out to your favorite songs, laugh along with Timon and Pumbaa, and cry your eyes out as you follow Simba along this coming-of-age tale. Don't have tickets yet? Hakuna Matata, this film isn't going anywhere for a long time.

Ghosting much? Audiences seem to love this haunting romance that is Broadway's longest-lasting show this far! Better prep your vocal cords - the grand Paris Opera House is waiting!

History buff or not, this hip-hop biography of one of the Founding Fathers has become a staple in American culture. Not only does the soundtrack serve as an informal study guide for U.S. history students, but the adventurous story lines and rhythmic beats will have you leaving the theatre a little more well-versed in America's founding.

Historically accurate? Not quite. Enchanting and enjoyable? Yes! Journey to the Past as you venture off with Anya, an orphaned girl on a quest to find her family. With a beloved soundtrack, a quirky romance, and hilarious characters, you'll find out why the Broadway show is loved by many. Besides, who doesn't love the Romanovs?
