My friend and I are going on a long trip to NYC on June 18 and we are deciding what shows to see. We already have tickets to Angels in America and we know we want to see Hello Dolly, Mean Girls, Carousel, The Band's Visit, and Once on this Island (hopefully it remains open until then). Any other suggestions?

Frozen, Harry Potter & the Cursed Child, and My Fair Lady.

This is the list I have been keeping on my desktop for a June trip:
Carousel
MFL
Three Tall Women
This Ain't No Disco
Dan Cody's Yacht
Mary Page Marlowe
St. Joan
Many of those listed above are limited runs. I have a couple of other trips between now and then but I am seeing mostly limited run shows like Farinelli & the King , Meteor Shower, The Children....in terms of non-limited run shows, you can add The Band's Visit to this list. And if they extend Sweeney Todd again, it's a ton of fun.

All great choices & recommendations. I echo Hello Dolly!, The Band’s Visit and Sweeney Todd. I also recommend Dear Evan Hansen. Also, some of your shows (I.e. Angels) are pretty heavy. If you want something more uplifting, Waitress (if it’s still playing) would also be a solid recommendation. I liked it a lot more than I expected!

I will be back to NYC in late April and have tickets for:
Angels in America, Mean Girls, Frozen, Dear Evan Hansen (3rd time),The Band's Visit,The Iceman Cometh and Jersey Boys (for my sister's upteenth time) waiting for tickets to Boys In the Band (it/'ll have to be the first preview performance). That will leave two spots. My sister wants to see Three Tall Women and I want My Fair Lady so we will go our separate ways for that one. one spot left and I am thinking of Once on This Island since it got such rave reviews. Any other suggestions?

I really think anybody visiting the city this spring and not seeing My Fair Lady will be missing out. It's already generating lots of buzz around town, and it's not even the new year yet. If I lived elsewhere and was visiting the city, I wouldn't choose to miss that one.

If anyone is planning a trip, the week of Independence Day is excellent, as it falls on a Wednesday, so a lot of shows don’t play that day, but a few do, so the ones that don’t do a matinee on the Thursday or Friday.

I'll be traveling to NYC in July 2018! It will be my 2nd time there.
Here are the shows I'm planning to catch (if they're still open)/have tickets to:
Bold = I currently don't have a ticket
July 3rd - Hello, Dolly!
July 4th - Dear Evan Hansen
July 5th - Frozen & Book of Mormon
July 6th - Anastasia
July 7th - Wicked & Spongebob
July 8th - Hamilton & Carousel
July 9th - Phantom (I've never seen it)
July 10th - Come From Away
July 11th - Harry Potter & The Cursed Child parts 1 & 2
July 12th - Waitress
July 13th - Spongebob + backstage
July 14th - Once on This Island
I'm trying to find a day where I can fit My Fair Lady in. It sounds like it's definitely not a show I should skip, especially after flying across the globe to get to NYC!

Thank you so much for your input! I'm most likely going to end up doing that.
