Rainy Monday - what to see?

So I made it across the globe to New York and on this rainy Monday would like to spend the evening in a theatre but, as you all will know, pickings are slim. The only thing that appeals to me is Once On This Island, which I’m already booked to see later in my trip.

It seems that I’m faced with School of Rock, Phantom, Puffs or Chicago. Any thoughts on what would be a wise choice, especially from those familiar with the current states of some of these longer running shows? Or should I just see Once On This Island and trust that I’ll be happy to see it twice? If it helps to read my taste, this trip I’m most excited for The Band’s Visit and least for Mean Girls.

Any advice is most appreciated!

Check some Off Broadway shows.

I've heard that the current Phantom, Ben Crawford, is exceptional. I saw the show in January after not seeing it for 25 years, and I thought it was in great shape. I would see it again to check out Crawford, but I would confirm with the box office that he was in before buying a ticket.

Puffs is really cute and energetic. Also check to see if Desperate Measures is playing today - very clever re-telling of Measure for Measure.

I second Desperate Measures! I think they have a Monday show.

Is Puffs a play or a musical?

Play. Very funny if youre a potter head.

Thanks everyone! I went with Puffs and really enjoyed it - and am very glad I watched the movies in preparation for Cursed Child!

I brought about 50 hs kids to see it, and the vast majority loved it. Just silly, fun - and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. Glad you had fun!
