Show Advice (I know) plus questions about Anastasia

Hi all, apologies for another 'what should I see' thread. I have 2-3 shows I can see before the Tonys - before next fall really - and I'm not sure. I've seen DEH, Comet, and Groundhog Day (and liked or loved all). I definitely want to see Come From Away, I think that is a guaranteed one for me IF I can still get tickets. What do you think? War Paint? I like seeing everything (when I can, not this year) and just want to have seen all the best shows.

I was considering Anastasia but just saw it's going to the UK where I now live so I will wait to see it in London - UNLESS you really think Christy Altomare is worth seeing on Broadway. Then again if I make that choice and she's out the night I go, that's just bad luck. Thoughts?

Neither Anastasia or Christy Altomare is worth seeing. Both the show and her performance are nothing special and just bland. Come From Away and War Paint are far superior.

I disagree, Christy Altomare is absolutely worth seeing in the role and I preferred the show to War Paint. Plus it will be a while before Anastasia transfers. I would choose Come From Away and Anastasia.

Last week, we saw Miss Saigon, Groundhog Day, War Paint, Sunset Boulevard, and Anastasia. The two I would prefer to have saved my money on are War Paint and Anastasia.

I love all the differing opinions! Thanks! I forgot to say I saw Sunset and Miss Saigon in London, so same productions and casts, oops. So that opens up my possibilities more, maybe for a play? I'd love to see Dolly but I should have bought tickets months and months ago!

If you're open to straight plays – The Play That Goes Wrong is my favorite show this season after The Great Comet and Dear Evan Hansen.
