Show Recommendations for June/Contract Lengths

For the first in as long as I can remember, I am traveling to New York in June without any shows I'm really that excited to see. Of course, I still plan to see like two shows while I'm there, but nothing is popping out. Unfortunately for me, I'm still the kind of person to plan ahead, and buy tickets early. You'd thin I'd wing it while I'm there, but not my style, so I'm looking for recommendations, if anyone feels like contributing.

Shows I've seen, and see no reason to see again: Wicked, Lion King, Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, Chicago.

As dumb as it sounds, these shows as national tours to Chicago where I live, so I plan to just see them then: Beautiful, Kinky Boots, and Gentlemen's Guide.

The only things that has sort of perked my interest is Finding Neverland, but after seeing Jeremy Jordan nail an amazing tune from the show in his cabaret, I'm not really sure I'd be that happy with Matthew Morrison (why is he in it again?)

Also, as much as I wasn't really a big fan of Book of Mormon (though I know I'm in the minority on that one), I wouldn't mind seeing Gavin Creel, who I love and have never seen in a show. I have no idea how to find out now if he'll still be doing it in June, so I'd be hesitant to buy tickets now...

Gavin should still be in BOM in June. He just started his Broadway run in January. We have a bunch of musicals opening this spring, since it seems that's what you mean.

In addition to King & I and Fun Home: American in Paris, Something Rotten, Dr. Zhivago, On the 20th Century, Gigi, The Visit & It Shoulda Been You. I also recommend The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Fool for Love won't be around in June. It's next fall.

Fun Home, for sure. You DO NOT want to miss it. Other musical options to consider:
It Shoulda Been You (I don't know how good the show is, but the cast list is superb)
Finding Neverland (not for everyone; it's a hit or a miss on this board, but maybe look to see if you can find some clips from the ART production)

"Finding Neverland (not for everyone; it's a hit or a miss on this board, but maybe look to see if you can find some clips from the ART production)"

To be fair, no one knows what the Broadway version of this will be yet...

I suggest putting Something Rotten! (musical) and Hand to God (play) at the top of your list!

Curious: which FN song did Jordan sing in his Cabaret?

As others have said, we don't know what changes have been made to FN for Broadway. But if you're interested in hearing a song and some song snippets from the ART version, just to get a better sense of the music (though again, who knows what's been changed!), I can link you to some.

Here's your first negative on Fun Home.
I was bored silly and couldn't wait for it to end.
