Hi, all.
Sorry to put up one of these generic posts, but I've been very away from the theater scene lately and have no idea what's going on. (Such a difference from a few years back when I was coming to NY all the time and saw nearly every show! Sigh. that's what a career change will do.) I'm coming to New York this weekend and have been trying my best to sort through all the threads, but I'm having trouble distilling the information. I'm seeing Harry Potter and Kiss Me Kate, and have 2 other spots open, for which I'm hoping to hit the TKTS line. My initial thoughts were to see Come From Away again since Jenn Colella is still in it, and maybe Mean Girls just as a fun, entertaining show? (Both seem to have plenty of tickets available for my dates.) But I'm not sold on that. I've heard mixed things on Mean Girls and I kind of hesitate to do a repeat when I now get to NYC so rarely.
Last time I came to this Board with a similar question you all came through big time--I wasn't even considering the Band's Visit, but someone told me it was truly special and not to be missed. They were right and I adored it. So is there anything right now that you adore and think is unmissable? I'm not limited to musicals either; I love good plays. (For reference, I've seen basically everything currently playing that came out before Come From Away, and other than The Band's Visit, nothing that came out after it.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
