Though clearly has a darker side to it, James Lapine shows his comedic side with hilarious one liners and one of the greatest 4th wall breaks in Broadway history.

#6 The Book of Mormon

Satire is one of the funniest things in today's society. So when it is religious satire, people will love it! And as a bonus to this, it's written by the creators of South Park!

In my opinion, British comedy is the best comedy, so this show is a dream and with all the wit and charm you could wish for.

For me, The Producers is an absolute gem. Who could possibly forget Leo's blue blanket moment, Max's scheming antics, and all those dancing old ladies?
