Dead Outlaw, Operation Mincemeat, Floyd Collins and Buena Vista Social Club.

The category this year is “offbeat & Off-Broadway” and it’s looking like 10s across the board.

(I’ve seen them all except FC)

Right now I’m most excited for “Othello” and “Schmigadoon”.

Floyd Collins
Operation Mincemeat
Purpose
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Othello

I'm also very excited for Buena Vista Social Club, Dead Outlaw, and English, all of which I really enjoyed Off-Broadway.

I’m most intrigued by Dead Outlaw. That was not on my radar when it was Off Broadway. It looks a little dark, a little odd, so totally up my alley. I keep stalking the site for ticket updates.

I have a ticket to the Groff thing. I just love him. I didn’t think I’d even see it, but then I saw the teaser and splurged on a table seat. I am such a sucker. (As long as he doesn’t sit and read from a script, I won’t be disappointed.)

I have a ticket to Othello. (For some reason, I’ve gotten less excited about this. I would have been thrilled when I was in college.)

I plan to see most everything on this thread but definitely am a tad more excited for some of the standard-fare mainstream/“commercial” offerings.

• English
• Operation Mincemeat
• Boop!
• Smash
• John Proctor Is The Villain
• Stranger Things: The First Shadow
• The Queen of Versailles

I think there are lots of other buzzier events happening (GNGL, Dorian, TLFY, Purpose, amongst others) that I simply don’t know enough about to be incredibly esxited by off the bat; but I am sure once I see them I will be swooning over them. I already have tickets to Dorian and Purpose but am going into each knowing next to nothing about them.

100% excited, can't come soon enough: CHESS!! (if it happens, will believe it when I see it lol), Dead Outlaw, Dorian Grey, Operation Mincemeat

Excited: Boop!, Good Night & Good Luck, Glengarry Glen Ross, Buena Vista Social Club

Interested for various reasons, but probably holding for buzz & reviews: Floyd Collins, Smash, Redwood, Real Women Have Curves, Pirates!, John Procter, Just in Time, hypothetically Othello but my GOD those ticket prices

Potentially Stranger Things - I don't really like the TV show but if the production is innovative and it's an original story where you don't need to know the canon then I'm intrigued

(And Eureka Day which I have a ticket for in early January - looking forward to a good laugh!)

Whatever Pamela Anderson gets attached to. She wants to return to Broadway and now has the creds to choose projects. Her short stint in CHICAGO proved she's an excellent box office draw plus she's receiving major accolades for the film THE LAST SHOWGIRL (she received a Golden Globe nomination), so things are truly changing for her at this later stage of her life and career.

I'm so pleased for her. Seeing her in CHICAGO was a joy. She was clearly so thrilled to be there, and you could just feel how much the entire audience and cast rallied around her. 

And to answer OP's question:
- Dead Outlaw (saw this twice off-Broadway and cannot wait to see it again)
- The Picture of Dorian Gray
- Operation Mincemeant
- Smash (Whether it's good, bad, or so bad it's good - I need to see it. Will be at the first preview) Updated On: 12/31/24 at 10:11 AM

The Picture of Dorian Gray (it was thrilling in London)

Floyd Collins (one of my favorite musicals)

Purpose (loved it at Steppenwolf)

Just In Time (Groffsauce is 100% reliable)

Operation Mincemeat

Dead Outlaw

Old Friends

Fingers crossed that something The Public or Classic Stage Company mounts will move to my "must see" list at some point during the year.

Saw Stranger Things in London having never seen an episode and I was enthralled. Some really gorgeous staging and stage magic. Would highly recommend.
