Q: My old college roommate is coming to NYC to visit (from Florida) and wants to see a Broadway show. Her requirements are that the show be super funny, but without any singing. She loves dialogue, but if anyone breaks into song, she'll walk! What can you suggest that would make her happy?
Musicals are so misunderstood. Unfortunately for your friend, the best things on Broadway these days are musicals — funny, irreverent, non-irritating musicals. I'd love to recommend Wicked, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Avenue Q, Curtains... the list of top-notch musicals goes on and on. But if you really can't get her to let down her musical guard, she might enjoy Bill W. and Dr. Bob, an amazingly funny story about the men who began Alcoholics Anonymous, or Room Service, a classic screw-ball comedy now running at the SoHo Playhouse.
