Probably In the Heights, or maybe Passing Strange, because I haven't seen either and they both sound awesome.

I would grab my 10 year-old roller skates, get me some on stage seats and skate right along during the finale of you know what with the other fandus.

Spring Awakening.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Wow, doomsday much?
I would have to say the upcoming (fall) production of Bounce at the Public Theatre.

I'd see Xanadu and then after it ended I'd go next door and sneak into Gypsy at intermission.

One more "Rose's Turn" would be wonderful!

In The Heights but I think A Chorus Line would be wonderful for a last Broadway show.
