Visiting NYC from June 6-9, 2015!!

Posted: 1/3/15 at 12:00am

I'm so excited folks. I would have liked to have gone during our March (14-17) Spring Break, but it's veddy cold in NYC during that time. I love NYC in the summertime. Taking JetBlue, I'll arrive before 11:00 a.m. on that Sat. I'll have a chance to see 2 shows on Sat., 2 on Sunday and 1 on that Monday. I plan on seeing "Chicago" (of course) and "The Audience". Any suggestions for 3 other shows? I know it's early, but I like to order tickets to shows way ahead of time. from RC in Austin, Texas

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Skylight seems interesting. Harold and Maude is playing at the York. The King and I will probably be great.

I'm thinking of also seeing "An American In Paris". It has two former Chicago cast members: Michael Cusumano and Nathan Madden.

I think "On the Twentieth Century" might still be playing then. That could be a fun, light night at the theater.

Not officially announced or has a theater been set yet but we should be hearing soon...The Visit ~ Kander & Ebb's musical starring Chita Rivera in her final appearance on Broadway will be a must see as it will be a limited engagement opening late this season.
Also, a must is Fun Home, The King & I or the new comedy Hand to God.

How "limited" are we talking? I'd love to see Chita, but I am only in the city every mid to late September.

Without a doubt, Fun Home

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.

The Tony Awards (at Radio City Music Hall or in Times Square)?

You plan your vacations like I do! I maximize how many shows I can get in and still get in visits with family and friends who still in the NY/NJ area. Having lived in Manhattan and NJ up until 8 years ago, theater is the thing I miss the most (other than family/friends), though, where I live now I do have the Nederlander managed- Durham Performance Arts Center, the #1 most successful theater of its size in the country. We get the best tours and concerts.

I just realized that I booked my trip during the Tony Awards weekend. That means that I'll only be able to see one show on Sunday, in order to watch the telecast. Last year, I saw the Tonys at the Stonewall Inn. It was extremely crowded.

I am visiting at that time also. Although I arrive on Tuesday and leave after my matinee on Sunday. Keep in mind when booking, many shows, including The Audience and Funhome do not have a Sunday performance on Tony Sunday.

I'm sure Chicago will have a perf on Tonys Sunday. So far: Chicago, The Audience, An American In Paris and one more. Maybe an off-Broadway show?

Harold and Maude at the York! It's based on a tremendous play/movie and has a book and lyrics by Tom Jones of the Fantasticks and 110 in the Shade.

Can't you DVR the Tony's? That can be viewed again; a live theatrical experience will only happen once :)
