What Show to See?

I know you've probably seen dozens of these threads, but I was going to go see Great Comet in late September, but it's obviously closing, so I need a show to see. I was thinking of

Book of Mormon

Waitress

Chicago

Which of those choices do you recommend the most?

Waitress! What a beautiful show. Plus it has a very unique score, and an excellent cast. Don't pass this one up, Chicago and BOM will be on forever. You can see them another time.

Consider Groundhog Day. I'd recommend it above all three of those.

From those choices?   

 

In order:

Book of Mormon

Waitress

 

Chicago 

 

If looking for ideas NOT listed, I'd suggest Come From Away (if you can get tix).  Groundhog Day might not make it that long.

Book of Mormon for sure!! So fun and memorable. I think Waitress is way overrated.

Another vote for Waitress here.

It depends on whether you're asking which show is best, or which you should see now because you may not get another chance.

I'd rank your three options in this order:

Book of Mormon

Chicago

Waitress (full disclosure: the music I've heard from this show doesn't particularly appeal to me, so I haven't seen it)

If you'll be returning to NY sometime in the relatively near future, you could reverse that order because Waitress will likely close before the other two.

I'll also add my vote to the others who suggested Come From Away and Groundhog Day, both of which I thought were excellent; I'd see either of these before Waitress.

Waitress or BoM
