Funniest/Funnest Broadway (or Off) Musical Right Now?

I feel completely out of the loop on Broadway -- like, I've paid it no attention over the last year and a half due to being out of the country and then starting a new job. But I have a rare night free tonight, and want to dip into my old habit of grabbing a last-minute ticket to something fun.

I've had some great successes with random shows from TKTS (e.g. School of Rock and The Other Josh Cohen were both a shockingly good time), and some big busts too, of course (Gettin' the Band Back Together was damn near unwatchable).

So, what's good out there right now? What's just a big, fun (even dumb) good time? Doesn't have to be on TKTS.

Off the top of my head, shows currently running that I've already seen: Hadestown (awesome), Hamlet (great), Wicked (fantastic), Little Shop (I really wanted to love it, but I still think my college dorm's 1997 production was peak Little Shop).

Thanks!!

Assuming the current cast is good, Titanique is among the funniest musicals in town right now.

You may laugh a lot at Little Shop, Spamalot and Mormon too.

IMO Oh, Mary! is one of the funniest shows I've seen in years, and I'm usually a much bigger fan of musicals than plays. But you're right, it will not be easy to rush. Either way, I suggest OP not miss this one.

Thanks everyone! Looking at the recs above, I think I'm leaning toward Dead Outlaw or & Juliet.

Oh, Mary! is also going on my list, but it looks sold out tonight. And I do need to see the Play that Goes Wrong at some point.

As funny as Oh, Mary (and Spamelot) are...it's still Book of Mormon...by a lot...
