We have purchased tickets to 14 of 15 shows for our upcoming trip in March. Struggling to decide on our last choice. We have narrowed it down to Cats, Miss Saigon, All the Fine Boys, Significant Other, Amelie, The Play that Goes Wrong, Present Laughter, The Price, or Groundhog Day. Any suggestions?

What is All The Fine Boys?
I would recommend Miss Saigon if you want a musical or Significant Other if you want a new play, or The Price if you want a play revival.

All the Fine Boys is the New Group's next play, with Abigail Breslin.

Oh, I don't know anything about that one. http://www.thenewgroup.org/all-the-fine-boys.html

Wow, "14 of 15 shows" sounds like a quite a blessing! Please report back on the trip!
If it were me, I'd probably go for Amélie—but I'm a tremendous Phillipa Soo fan, personally. Miss Saigon would likely be my second pick.

I agree - I would go Amelie. Phillipa Soo is supposed to be absolutely magical in the role and Adam Chanler-Berat can do no wrong in my book.
I would also go to The Price for the lineup of stars alone. I mean, John Turturro, Jessicac Hecht, Tony Shalhoub AND Danny DeVito?! It's bound to be amazing.

Amelie is definitely one that we have been more interested in than some of the others. Same goes for Cats. All the Fine Boys peaks my interest because I LOVE Abigail Breslin. I'm just hesitant to purchase tickets for a show that no one knows anything about.

I'm only really familiar with Significant Other, but I absolutely loved it off-Broadway.

Go with cats, if you DM me I can give you a million reasons to see it and answer any questions you have about the production.

Amelie or Miss Saigon would be my choice, though I've heard good things about Significant Other.

^ would be my picks, too

What the word on Present Laughter? The more I read about that show, the more intrigued I am.

Thanks for everyone's help! Over the months the input from you guys has really helped shape this trip.
Here is my final lineup:
Hello Dolly, Hamilton, Great Comet, The Present, 54 Below: One Hit Wonders, Cher (DC), Glass Menagerie, Dear Evan Hanson, Aladdin, Sunset Boulevard, War Paint, Present Laughter, Sunday in the Park, NBS, and Waitress.
Am I missing out on anything? Are there any of these shows that just aren't worth it?

I was blown away by this production of Cats. The cast is phenomenal and the lighting and projections are awesome. Andy Blankenbuhler really made magic out of the original choreo too!
