I am coming to see some shows the last week in May. I'm seeing "The King and I", "Finding Neverland", and "Something Rotten." Any suggestions on other shows I should try to see? It's been several years since I've been to NYC. Thanks!

Fun Home is a beautiful and moving show that is transferring from a sold-out run at the Public last year. I highly recommend it.

My choices are:
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
Honeymoon in Vegas
Kinky Boots
Les Miserables
On the Town

I concur with the Fun Home suggestion. I don't know if musicals are solely your interest but there are plays worth seeing, too. Hand to God is quite good, I'm looking forward to Skylight and The Audience is probably worth seeing for Dame Helen Mirren.

Curious Incident! On spring break here, saw it last night. It is fantastic. Love Alex Sharp.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I've heard great things about The Audience and Fun Home.

"Fun Home" and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" are not to be missed!

Thanks! Is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" family-friendly?

Depends on the family. I would think middle school and up should be adequate.

I totes agree with Luminous on his two suggestions.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Thank you! I had heard the book was banned in some schools for offensive language so it made me wonder about the play.

As far as family-friendly goes: SLIGHT SPOILERS: Curious Incident has an extramarital affair as one of the plot points. And general bad behavior by both adults in the family.

I can't imagine how uptight you'd have to be to be offended by Curious Incident in either book or musical form.

I'm surprised no one has recommended A Gentleman's Guide.
