Headed to the city in a week for a week and have slots for 9 shows:

 

Here's my definite list:

Great Comet

Sunset Boulevard

A Doll's House, Part 2

Dear Evan Hansen

War Paint

Hello Dolly

Miss Saigon

My dilemma is there are THREE more that I really want to see, but I only have TWO more slots! (Thank you, overabundant Broadway season!) So which two of these three are absolutely can't miss?

Oslo

The Little Foxes

Groundhog Day

Thanks for your help!!

I had a similar dilemma last week, so I saw The Little Foxes (because it was a limited run) and Oslo.  I am hoping to get back to NY to see Groundhog Day in October.  I would say, see The Little Foxes, and then decide between a riveting, intense play (and a history lesson), or Andy Karl and a fun musical.  I think that you will be happy with either choice!  It's fun to have a lot to choose from!

I'd say The Little Foxes (because it's a limited run) and Groundhog Day. Oslo is great, but I can see it lasting if it wins the Tony and it'll have a life after the Broadway run as well.

That's the question... does Oslo still have the momentum to win best play or is it A Doll's House this year? If its leaning more toward A Doll's House, then I'd rather see The Little Foxes.

Little Foxes and Groundhog Day. Sweat is also magnificent, and will be putting up a fight for Best Play (it won the Pulitzer) against Oslo.

I'm not sure if they'll go for the better script or bigger production this year. I'm thinking Oslo is still the one to beat. Regardless, they're making a movie eventually, so you'll get to see some incarnation of it. If you want to see something that'll be gone, see the other two shows.

Of those, I'd probably say Oslo and The Little Foxes. Personally, I'd also recommend Indecent (over Oslo) which I just saw tonight and was truly wonderful. 

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
