What do sports fans outside NYC know about Broadway?

[Further]

Just to be sure, what are your answers for 4,9,10 and 11? As far The Book of Mormon goes, they do a lottery 2.5 hours before each show. If you win, you get great seats for like $20-37 depending on where you are. (Tour or Broadway). Also, if you ever let me know in advance, I have access to house seats (the best seats in the house) for normal full price (around $170) and not the premium price (around $400.)

4 - I think the Book of Mormon won, and I'm not sure it was Broadway this century but I think Jersey Boys.
9 - I think west side story, but I'm not sure.
10 - I've seen Oklahoma which was Rodgers and Hammerstein. It was my least favorite production so far, but still enjoyed myself.
11 - the Book of Mormon

I had no idea about the lottery, I'll try that sometime. I have an Uncle who lives in Manhattan who I used to visit as a child but haven't been to NY in over a decade now. At some point I'd love to go back and take in a show. If I do, I'll certainly contact you, maybe for that deal, absolutely for a drink. Thanks for that generous offer.


EDIT: I answered without looking at the answers above.

The one time I was out of my country, I went to NY where my aunt lives, been there 2 weeks, went to a terrible Knicks-Jazz game (Stockton and Malone. Spreewell in street clothes), to a Conan O'brien Show and to a Broadway musical - Rent.
I wasn't too crazy about it. It's a bit of a strange way to do theater, as a musical. But 12 years later, I think I remember it fondly/ It was something about young people struggling with Urban life, I think. It was cool.

I think I knew 5, 8 and 10.

Edit: And though I've never seen Phantom, that was the first CD pack (of 2) that I ever owned, and I wore the hell out of it. And I only knew Kristen Chenoweth b/c she was the model of the Harriet Hayes character on Studio 60 and my wife pointed her out on an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" recently.

Christin Chenoweth was on The West Wing. It was a frequent joke with her (really short) next to Allison Janney (8 feet tall).

Isn't that a Monopoly property?

Very good. Sondheim only wrote the lyrics to West Side Story but that counts. Jersey Boys did win Best Musical in this century. And yes, we'll hang out if you come here.

I loved Studio 60. Great show.
