I recommend Young Frankenstein if you love the movie and want a good laugh.
The Little Mermaid was really good also.
Avenue Q is LOL funny and has a crude sort of potty humor if you like that.
A Chorus Line is amazing and it's legendary and all.
Phantom of the Opera would be really good if you like the Opera although it's not really an Opera but it's still wonderful!
And The Lion King is good too

Spamalot.
It is AMAZING...
But you have to see Holy Grail to understand it sorta.

see Rent! It's going off broadway june 1!

I really enjoyed wicked aswell, i think you would like Hairspray. Or Mary Poppins, If you can, go and see rent, thats amazing. So is Avenue Q, but that is a very small show in comparison, but it is hillarious. I dissagree with the guy who said you had to see Holy Grail to understand Spamalot, i saw spamalot and loved it, without seeing Holy Grail.

So any of the above, but i highly reccomend Rent and Avenue Q

For Broadway I'd suggest:

Rent (it's going off soon)
Avenue Q (so funny and deserving of its Tony. I've seen it twice, Broadway and West End)
Spamalot (Hysterical)
The Little Mermaid awakens old memories whilst also being innovative.
Spring Awakening
Young Frankenstein (gotta love Sutton)
A Chorus Line (ground breaking musical! Amazing choreography)

I don't know opera as well, but I heard La Boheme is good at the Met. Tristan is wonderful as well. I just read a good review.
