Hey y'all! I added a Saturday on to my trip to see more shows, and I'm debating what to try and see. This trip, I already saw Color Purple, Dear Evan Hansen, Great Comet, Falsettos, and I'm hoping to see Waitress tomorrow.
I'm thinking Fiddler, School of Rock, maybe even Cats. Any other suggestions? I would love to see Front Page, but $50 for SRO is bonkers! Plays and off-Broadway suggestions are also welcome, although I usually skew towards musicals.

Haven't seen it yet, but I've also heard great things about Oh Hello, and personally, John Mulaney is my favorite comedian

Of the three you listed, my pick would be Fiddler, but I agree about Oh, Hello. It's a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend seeing it if you can!

Ride The Cyclone and Sweet Charity. When are you going? Those are two shows not to be missed off-broadway

This Fiddler is gorgeous. Sure, there'll be more Fiddlers in the future, but Burstein's performance and Sher's direction are utterly magnificent.

Definitely Fiddler and School of Rock. I saw Cats and it was fine and I checked it off my list since I never saw it during the original run, but I really loved Fiddler and SOR.

I'd say do
Oh Hello and Fiddler since they're both closing soon. The others will still be here.

SRO for The Front Page is actually only $32, but even at that price, it's still not worthwhile.

As a Mulaney fan, I enjoyed Oh Hello, but if you don't know the comics or the characters, that could be a pretty long 90 minutes... I'd definitely watch some videos of them before locking in on that. If you like them, then it's a fun ride...

I'm definitely going to look in to "Oh Hello" now, and I'm feeling set on "Fiddler"!
I'd love to see "Sweet Charity," so I keep entering the lottery. Same with that small indie musical called "Hamilton."

If you're into Broadway and a lot of inside humor, Something Rotten. More than Fiddler.

I got to see "Something Rotten" when I was here last summer and ADORED it! The only other show running from that trip is "Aladdin." I saw 7 shows - wowza, that's a lot of closings.

Fiddler was absolutely gorgeous. And School of Rock is SO much fun! Definitely would recommend those two.
