5 Must-See Broadway Shows
AbreteSesamoBlog

There are so many shows on Broadway and off Broadway. These are my top five shows to see!

1. "Aladdin:"

"Aladdin" is based on the Disney Movie "Aladdin" about Jasmine's father's desire to have her wed, where the street rat Aladdin comes in. Overall everyone has responded very positively to Disney's "Aladdin" the Broadway Musical, such as Elysa Gardner from USA Today who said, "It's Genie-us! It delivers a rush that will surprise you!" and including some of my own friends.

2. "Hamilton"

"Hamilton" is the new hit musical going on now about one man named Lin-Manuel Miranda trying to make his mark on the world. The show is sold out for many show dates. I have heard nothing but great reviews especially according to Ben Brantley of the New York Times who said "Historic. 'Hamilton' is brewing up a revolution. This is a show that aims impossibly high and hits its target. It's probably not possible to top the adrenaline rush."


3. "The Lion King"

"The Lion King" is an absolute classic adaptation of the Disney movie "The Lion King," of a young prince Lion, Simba. If you haven't seen it yet you definitely should! Chris Willman from Entertainment Weekly says "The breathtakingly staged Broadway adaptation of Disney's king of the cartoon jungle is an instant theater classic." and I could not agree more!


4. "Les Miserables"


"Les Miserables" is a play based on a book by Victor Hugo about the "survival of the human spirit." Many people absolutely love this play and the iconic songs that go along with it! David Finkle from The Huffington Post agrees positively saying "A sizzling 'Les Miz' for the 21st century!"

5. "Wicked"

"Wicked" is also a classic. It is about the untold story of "The Wizard of Oz"'s Wicked Witch of the West and of course with Glinda the Good Witch. There is nothing but positivity shown in the faces of the those who have seen the play and the critics, like Linda Winer from Newsday saying "What a spectacle this is! Keep your eye on the witches. These wonderful girls from Oz are a delight."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
