The music, the lighting, etc. I can't wait to see Hairspray, Spamalot and Avenue Q, though! belle42... It's "Ronn" Lucas (two 'n's)... I know this for two reasons... We seem to drive by the Rio at least once a week, AND Mr. Alice is the only other "Ronn" I know. ;-) Haven't seen Mr. Lucas' show yet, but have heard it's a lot of fun!

There was a great article in the NY Times this Sunday about just that. Yeah, in the next couple of years, you'll probably see the number of current B'way shows triple in Vegas.
