Which Broadway show?

I'm toying between Chicago, Wicked, and Stomp. Which is best?

If these are the only three possibilities:

1 Wicked
2 Chicago
3 Stomp

Since you've listed three very, very, very different types of shows, it's sort of hard to recommend which one of those three, or any other show, for that matter, you'd enjoy the most.
Where do your tastes lie? What type of show are you looking for?

I agree with HowardR.

If you have never seen A Chorus Line or Gypsy, I suggest you see one or both of these shows. The current revivals have received great reviews.

In any event, go to www.broadwaybox.com for discount tickets. There you can also read with others have said about Wicked, Chicago, Stomp, Gypsy, A Chorus Line, and other shows.

Depends on who you are (age, gender, how many shows have you seen, which did you like or dislike).

Stomp is memorable - but not in the class of the other too.

Chicago is a classic - but has been running forever. Did you see the movie - and like or dislike?

Wicked is always a winner - but very difficult to get tickets.

For me, there is no competition between Wicked and the other two. It wins, hands down.

What are the ages/interests of the people attending?

Of the three you list, another vote for Wicked. No comparison to the other two. Why just these three?

I'm a dancer and my fiance is in a punk band so I thought he might enjoy the percussion of Stomp. Chicago is my favorite movie. And I've heard Wicked is phenomenal.
We are 28 years old and going on our honeymoon.

I think you should add "In the Heights" and "Billy Elliott" (if you're coming in the fall) to your list.

Totally agree with In the Heights. You would love it. Great music and dancing -- high energy. The young audience there the night I saw it were standing and dancing. I don't think that Chicago (the stage show) compares much to Chicago (the movie). You won't necessarily like one if you liked the other. Stomp is fun, but no story line or memorable music and it tours all the time so you could catch it anywhere. Wicked is great, but very different. For the personalities you describe, I think In the Heights is an excellent choice.

I'm a dancer. In that case, if you have never seen A Chorus Line, you must see it.
