Picking a show for a final slot in November...

So, my next Broadway trip is going to be November 15 to the 20th.  I will be seeing 7 shows in 5 days, and I already have tickets locked in for Holiday Inn (Tuesday night), Dear Evan Hansen (Wednesday night), Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812 (Friday night), The Encounter and The Front Page (Saturday afternoon and evening, respectively).  I'm also planning to pick up a ticket for Falsettos when that goes on sale in August.  So, that leaves one slot open.

 

I would possibly like to see a play, since my line up so far is largely musicals, except for the two shows on Saturday.  At the moment, I'm considering Les Liaisons Dangereusus.  I saw the movie with John Malkovich and Glenn Close a long time ago, but have never actually seen the play.  Has anyone here ever seen the original 1987 Broadway production, or the 2008 revival?  Is it worth seeing?

 

I'm also open to some Off Broadway, but don't know much about what would be worth seeking out at the moment, so any recommendations there that I can look into would be appreciated. 

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or information.

If you haven't yet seen The Color Purple, it is not to be missed.

I'll also be there in November.  I haven't bought any tickets yet, but it looks like we will be at many of the same shows.  I agree with JPeterman about saving a slot and waiting a little.  Sometimes things come up and I have kicked myself for having booked everything so early.  

Agree with your concern about Color Purple but you might want to wait and see if she (and Danielle Brooks) are still there.  If so, I recommend.  Cynthia Erivo is transcendent.

Some other shows I'm thinking about are:

Heisenburg - play on BW - played off BW last year (?) and you could see if it interests you

Sweat at the Public.  Lynn Nottage's latest.  Played DC last year.  

Sweet Charity with Sutton Foster at New Group.  No dates announced except November

Master Harold . . . and the Boys at Signature - starts Oct 18 and not sure how long it will play but on my list to watch for

Roads to Home at Primary Stages - Horton Foote who I like.  Again, no dates announced, just Sept - Nov.

Notes from the Field at Second Stage - new from Anna Deveare Smith - not sure about dates for this, but starts in October.

I love planning.

I think threads like this bring out the planning addicts from the woodwork like us :o)

So true.

I have to add Ride the Cyclone to my list now.

Yup, now I'm considering a two show day with Dear Evan Hansen and Ride the Cyclone.

To the OP, you might consider Sweet Charity with Sutton Foster too.

Have you seen all of the shows from the 15/16 season yet? If you haven't seen Waitress, I would highly recommend it. Jessie Mueller is a force of nature, and I thought the show was wonderful, with music I literally cannot stop humming for the life of me.
