12 Broadway Shows To See
Broadway.com

Going to see Broadway shows is an amazing and expensive habit. It is a habit nonetheless and therefore, we all know you're going to do it. However, if you are going to go see a Broadway Show, you should at least know that you're going to get your money's worth. Here are a list of shows that I think are most certainly worth your money.

1. "Wicked"

For anyone that is a "Wizard of Oz" fan, you should go see "Wicked." There are always two sides to every story.

2. "Lion King"

The best thing about this show is the spectacle. Not only are the actors talented on their own but their work with the puppets adds profusely to the show.

3. "Next To Normal"

This show addresses a lot of serious issues such as mental illness and suicide, bringing attention to them in a way you wouldn't normally expect.

4. "Chicago"

A satirical look at the corrupt legal system in the 1920's, this is one of my personal favorites. The glamour of vaudeville is always appealing.

5. "Hedwig And The Angry Inch"

This show is the perfect mixture of comedy and angst. A one woman show, Hedwig tells you the story of the botched gender reassignment surgery she went through to escape East Berlin during the Cold War.

6. "Rent"

This show is a classic. Everyone who loves musical theatre should see this show.

7. "Mamma Mia"

It's ABBA's music and a great mother/daughter story. You can't go wrong.

8. "Grease"

You've definitely seen the movie, you've probably seen the live version, so why not go see it on stage?

9. "A Chorus Line"

This show gives a glimpse into the world of stage theatre. It's a harsh one.

10. "Phantom of the Opera"

"Phantom" is a Broadway classic. It is completely necessary for you to see it, if you're a Broadway fan.

11. "Les Miserables"

The combination of history and musical theater is an amazing one.

12. "Hamilton"

Again, history and musical theater. With this, just add hip-hop music and you've struck gold. Literally.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
