Traveling to NYC in mid-March and have one final slot to fill for a Saturday afternoon. Considering the following shows at the moment:
- Beetlejuice
- Girl From the North Country
- Hangmen
- The Headlands
- Mrs. Doubtfire
Already seeing Company, Virginia Woolf, and Hadestown (again) that weekend.
Of the shows above, which would you recommend? Or is there anything I'm missing that should be on this list? I've already seen SIX and Jagged Little Pill when they were in Cambridge, and Moulin Rouge multiple times, both in Boston and NYC.

Oh gosh. I mean, having seen BEETLEJUICE, ...NORTH COUNTRY, and HANGMEN, I can honestly recommend all three.
I'd probably suggest BEETLEJUICE just because it's amazing and you'll probably never get to see it in its original form as it was meant to be seen. HANGMEN was brilliant when I saw it at Atlantic, but not having the original Atlantic cast does put it slightly below BEETLEJUICE in my opinion. The same applies to ...NORTH COUNTRY.
It also depends on what you want to see. BEETLEJUICE is a romp, NC is an emotional rollercoaster, and HANGMEN is a huge chunk of fast and complicated text. You'd honestly be good with any of those three.
