We already have tickets to the Carole King - Beautiful Musical. We probably will go to two of these three in the poll, but unsure which to choose. We have not seen any of these. Thanks for your input!

I've seen all three and would pick The Lion King first, then Wicked and then Cats. Have fun!

Personally I would see something that isn't touring yet.
The Lion King and Wicked tend to tour in heavy rotation and aren't likely to stop soon.

Other - I'd see something new. These are classics, but there's so many more out there.

Just those three?
Because there are better shows - okay "Lion King" is fabulous, I'd see that.
But I wholeheartedly recommend "Come From Away". And "Waitress."
Ugh on Cats. I hate Cats.
And of course if you have deep pockets and can spend a lot on Stub Hub, "Hamilton" and "Dear Evan Hansen" are worth top dollar.

I chose Wicked because I've seen the others.

Waitress!
I chose Wicked in your survey, because it's sort of the show that everyone should see. But Lion King is fabulous as well. Cats--eh. It's been done to death, although I guess you could use my first argument to vote for it!

We could see Lion King again and again, it's so good.
We enjoyed Wicked. I would pay to see it on Broadway.
Phantom is old old old but one of our favorites and another we could see again and again.
I know it's sacrilege but we thought Hamilton was boring af.

How can you choose?
Cats- I have never seen it on broadway. I love the music.
Wicked- OMG could see it over and over
The lion king- magical.
Good luck choosing.

I've seen Wicked and Lion King. Wicked gets my vote. We've seen it twice. Is Phantom still in NYC? That's another great one.

I have seen Wicked and Cats and would like to see the Lion King. Wicked is one I could see over again. I loved it and immediately bought the score and love listening to it from start to finish. We just got back from NYC. If you are looking for a great restaurant someone recommended Giano in the East Village. It was awesome. Loved the pasta with truffle oil. Not huge portions but the best homemade pasta I have had. www.gianonyc.com/ |

Lion King - Are they still doing Mamma Mia I've seen the movie but never musical, Of course everyone knows the music!  Grease would be fun too. Last time I was there we did STOMP (it's off Broadway though they call it) it's probably one of my absolute favorites. We saw Miss Siagon and Les Mis which I would Les Miserable again but not Saigon. I would love to see Cats only because I grew up with a lot of Broadway stuff from my mom. (even though Cats creep me out! lol!) Good luck choosing it is hard! But have fun! |

I adored Beautiful! I hope you love it too!
Wicked and Lion King are both fabulous shows.
I saw Come From Away in May and it is wonderful. Really, really wonderful.
I did not enjoy Waitress or Groundhog Day.
Have a great time!

I've never seen any of those three, on or off Broadway, that's why we want to make sure we see one or two of them. We've seen Phantom twice - DH suggested seeing it again, but I said I want to see something we haven't seen before! Thanks for the suggestions, both for these and for other shows not in the poll! Great comments! |

I've seen all three (although Cats was a million years ago). I'd rank these: Wicked, Lion King and then Cats and would say both Wicked and Lion King are substantially better than Cats.

If those are definitely the only choices, I'd go with Wicked first, then Lion King, then Cats. I won't confuse the issue by making other suggestions....though I really, truly want to  Have fun! |

Wicked is spectacular. I love the lessons it shows - good people can be bad and bad people can be good, among others. Just LOVED it.
I want to see Hamilton and Dear Evan Hanson. The Lion King sounds good, but I want a grown-up show.

Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen would be my choices, but I know you would have to put up some $$$!

Late to game here but I saw Beautiful and Dear Evan Hansen in January. I thought Beautiful was very entertaining and DEH was simply amazing! I'd vote Lion King, Wicked and Cats. Good news is all your shows are available at 1/2 price Tickets booth! Have a wonderful time!

Of the three you listed, I'd see Wicked, Lion King, then Cats. I've never actually seen Cats though. It just doesn't seem like I'd like it. I get that there are other shows out there, but if you haven't seen these then it would be fun to see one of them while you're in NYC! Enjoy!

I have seen all three and they are all three amazing in their own right. Wicked had my favorite storyline. Cats had the best tunes, and Lion King is just an all around great spectacle. I would see Wicked again in a heartbeat.

I've seen tour productions of all three -- loved Lion King and Wicked. I thought Cats was boring.
