Hi all - I am headed to NYC for the first time in over a year in late June for a long weekend. I already have tickets to Gypsy, Sunset, and Maybe Happy Ending. I have two more slots to fill and need advice!

I know they are vastly different shows, but right now I am deciding between John Proctor..., Call Me Izzy, and Death Becomes Her. Would love to see Oh, Mary but tickets are virtually sold out or out of my price range. 

Any suggestions between the three? Or something else I HAVE to see? Thank you!!

John Proctor is a must see. Also, do not miss Operation Mincemeat.

Unless you’re a huge Jean Smart fan, or there are some major changes (which I very, very much doubt), I’d maybe remove Call Me Izzy from your lineup. Also wasn’t a huge fan of Operation Mincemeat, but it is worth a consideration if you have extra time.  
 

John Proctor: interesting plot with EXCELLENT performances (that’s what I’d go for - Fina Strazza was otherworldly)

Death Becomes Her: impressive set, campy fun, energetic material

I would have suggested “John Proctor” even if it wasn’t on your list…but since it is: definitely prioritize that one.

Dont miss Real Women Have Curves. My favorite of the season.  Or &Juliet.  Or MJ.

SAME HERE. RWHC was my favorite show of the season. Very well reviewed and unfortunately under-recognized by the Tony’s.

I would absolutely go with John Proctor... and either Dead Outlaw or Purpose, whichever appeals to you more.

Don't miss Death Becomes Her but don't book a matinee as you most def need to see Megan & Jennifer and John Proctor!
