Wanna show your significant other that you love them? Take 'em to a Broadway show. There are lots of great love stories on the Great White Way that'll surely make you fall in love all over again (or, maybe you'll get lucky for spending so much money on the tickets). Here are a few suggestions:
1. West Side Story--A story of forbidden love in New York City. Nothing says "I Love You" like a mix of beautiful music and choreographed, racist violence.
2. Memphis--See #1, but south of the ol' Mason Dixon with louder and faster music.
3. Rock of Ages--They sing Foreigner's " I Wanna Know What Love Is" in the bathroom stall of an LA Bar. That's love, 80's Style!
4. Fela!--If there's anyone who knows how to "love", it's a guy with 27 wives.
5. Hair--"The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical." Their words. Not mine. Peace, Love, and Boobies.
6. God of Carnage--If love isn't binding these couples, I have no idea what would keep them together. Or even in the same room with each other.
So, there you go. A brief sampling of the love spread in the theatre district nightly. Now, of course, there are many more shows that address that sought-after, longed-for feeling: Love. That's all Chicago's Billy Flynn cares about. In Jersey Boys, Frankie Valli is working his way back to you with it burning inside. I guess it just all depends on how you want your evening to end. Do you want a murder, a concert, or a rousing chorus of "Don't Stop Believing?"
Whatever choice you make, here's wishing all you lovebirds a Happy Valentine's Day.
