THE N.Y. THEATER SCENE 2008__2009___THE MUSICALS PG.1

BILLY ELLIOT___All about an English lad who wants to be a ballet dancer,and succeeds in spite of his coal miner father's oppisition. This musical was the big prize winner this year ,and was deserving of all the acclaim it got.It proves that anything is possible if you try.Brilliantly staged and acted by all.

NEXT TO NORMAL____This musical deals with the effects of mental illness on a close knit family.Told with unflinching honesty and helped greatly by some fine music. This was one of the season's notable events.

SHREK__THE MUSICAL___The lovable ogre turned into a lively and uplifting musical.The book has lots of heart, and the score is alright too.It shows that beauty is more than skin deep and love always wins out.
