What are some good New York Broadway shows? I have loved all the Broadway shows so far, but this time I'm going with a friend who doesn't really like Broadway shows in general.

Her Mom thinks Little Mermaid is a good bet, but I've ever really liked the thought of Disney Broadway too much. But what do you think? Is Disney Broadway any good?

I'm not a professionally trained actor nor have I auditioned for professional plays but, I understand the hard work that goes into the making of a play. Who agrees?

Why do Broadway shows close? Just in general. Like RENT for example. Its the 7th longest running show on broadway. and its closing. i guess it means on the popularity? any opinions. i mean obviously phantom of the opera [which just celebrated 20 years] is popular. i mean the esteem of the musical? like CHICAGO for example. i mean that musical is loved as heck and its been on bway for 11 years and still going strong. and other ones such as chorus line. revivals can live quite a lot too. so just some general...answer-ness? why would they close a show. [ramble over]
