Early January Trip - Advice Needed

Hello all - received some great insight from the board when planning my trip this past June, hoping for more of the same for a trip I'm hoping to take at the beginning of January. The nice thing is that with the holiday, I've got more options than I normally would. For the most part the shows are picked out, I just have to decide where they'll fall during the weekend. Looking for thoughts on two of the slots. Here's what I've got:

Pretty set on seeing:
Curious Incident, Hedwig, Les Miserables, On the Town, You Can't Take it With You

Need some help deciding on the 1/2 matinee:
Delicate Balance, Beautiful, Disgraced, Honeymoon in Vegas, It's Only a Play

Looking for some thoughts on This is Our Youth. If I threw that in, I'd have to swap out one of the others - likely Les Miz. At this point, despite the thread predicting the downfall of On The Town, it seems as though it will still be around...but should something happen there, the decision would be made for me.

For the 1/2 matinee I'm leaning towards A Delicate Balance or It's Only a Play, as Beautiful will likely tour near me eventually and I don't know a whole lot about the other two.

My next question is which of these would you recommend I buy tickets in advance for? With the number of shows and performances I have a little flexibility to take some risks with TKTS and a rush or two, but a couple of these seem to not be worth the risk - Curious Incident, maybe It's Only a Play?

Lastly, Monday night - right now I've got Rock of Ages on the agenda, but I'm very open to suggestions as I've already seen it once with the OBC and twice on tour. Anything you'd recommend off-Broadway as an alternative?

As always, any insight is appreciated!

You'd definitely need to sort out It's Only A Play in advance for Nathan's (and supposedly Stockard's) last week.

Bumping the thread in hopes of getting more insight for my open slot on Friday 1/2.

With the news about ROA, it's likely I'll catch that on Monday 1/5, though I would still consider alternatives.

I would cut Les Miserables. I enjoyed Beautiful and would recommend it for sure.
