If you\u2019re visiting the Big Apple, then you\u2019ll want to make sure you see one of the current Broadway shows in New York. It\u2019s the perfect way to spend an evening in New York or even an afternoon while visiting Manhattan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whenever we visit New York, we always book at least one Broadway<\/a> performance for a new show we haven\u2019t seen. Last time, it was Moulin Rouge! The Musical (which was incredible, by the way), next time we visit, I think we will rewatch & Juliet. The music is incredible.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019m rambling, but I wanted to share some of the current Broadway shows that you really shouldn\u2019t miss once you arrive in New York. This way, you can book your tickets via the individual theatres and make sure to get the seats you want before even arriving in the city.<\/p>\n

Trust me, we\u2019ve tried to \u2018wing it\u2019 before and just turn up for late availability. Yes, you can get lucky; but we always find it better to book the best show, with the best seats, before arriving in the Big Apple. This way, there\u2019s no stress on the day and you know you have your tickets in your pocket\u2014or on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

So, take a look at some of the current Broadway shows in New York that you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

Aladdin brings the undeniable magic of Disney to the Broadway stage. If you\u2019re familiar with the story of Aladdin, then you\u2019ll know it focuses on the love story between Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. It\u2019s still one of my favourite shows on Broadway, even if Jafar is something of a terror!<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the set is just mind-blowing. They\u2019ve really brought the magic of the film to life, right down to the flying carpet\u2026<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of Neil Diamond\u2019s music, then you\u2019ll want to check out A Beautiful Noise. It\u2019s one of the current Broadway shows in New York that\u2019s taken the city by storm.<\/p>\n

A Beautiful Noise tells Diamond\u2019s story through so many of his hit songs, but don\u2019t stress if you\u2019re not familiar with his music, this show will turn you into a fan in no time! Just be sure to book tickets before arriving, as they can sell out fast at peak times.
\n3.) Chicago
\nChicago has become something of an institution as the longest-running musical currently on Broadway; it\u2019s an incredible show and a must-see.<\/p>\n

Following the life of Roxie Hart in 1920s Chicago, the musical takes you on a journey of love, loathing and lust through showtunes that are so catchy.<\/p>\n

Make sure to listen out for \u2018All That Jazz\u2019 and \u2018Razzle Dazzle\u2019. The songs are amazing.<\/p>\n

Adapted from one of the most iconic films of the \u201880s, Back To The Future: The Musical takes you on a journey with Marty McFly and Doc Brown to find a way \u2018back to the future\u2019.<\/p>\n

Now, I sometimes get worried that shows won\u2019t live up to the film they\u2019re based on, especially with a film as iconic as Back To The Future. Thankfully, this musical is totally fun, action-packed and so worth seeing.<\/p>\n

Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for matinee performances as these tend to be a little cheaper than going at peak times.<\/p>\n
