Tonys Weekend Dilemma! — Page 2

Personally, I would recommend Hadestown for sure as it is generally accepted as the frontrunner for best musical. I found this seasons musicals to be quite weak so I would recommend seeing 2 plays. The Ferryman and What the Constitution Means to me were both fantastic.

But if you prefer another musical, then I would say if you're in the mood for something light and funny and see the possible winner of best leading actor in a musical, go with Tootsie. If you want to see an edgy but highly polarizing reinterpretation of a beloved show, go with Oklahoma!

I know I listed more than 3 but all are such different vibes and really depend on your preferences :)

YES. I was not completely sold on the show based on the album on Spotify, but I LOVED the show. The arrangements are very different for the Broadway version than for the concept album.

The Cher Show and Gary.

The new "Oklahoma!" is not to be missed! Just be forewarned, this isn't your grandmother's Rogers and Hammerstein classic in tone.

If you aren't wedded to Tony contenders, the best musicals in NY right now are My Fair Lady and Fiddler (in Yiddish with subtitles).

I was so bored at Hadestown that I left at intermission. (The only time I've done that in 50 years of theatre-going!!) But the rest of the audience was loudly enthusiastic.
