First preview of Six, Feb. 13th. I was supposed to see Moulin Rouge, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and Dear Evan Hansen this week before the whole coronavirus pandemic happened.

Every show I've seen on Broadway has been "before its closing". To do it after its closing would be well nigh impossible.

I am a 2- 3 times a year Broadway attendee.  My last visit was in October, during which I had an extremely successful visit.  In one trip, I saw and loved TKAM (second time, just as thrilling), The Sound Inside, Slave Play, Oklahoma, Moulin Rouge, and a re-visit to Phantom, which I had not seen at the Majestic since 1989.  Naturally, the one I saw last was the only one that I didn't love and, in fact, almost hated: Hadestown.  (Re Phantom, I had originally intended to TKTS the play with Eileen Atkins, and / or Rose Tattoo, but the feedback on this board was so negative that I decided to see Phantom, which I also had not seen in 7 - 8 years, and always enjoy.

I have tickets to the following shows for an early June trip and am wondering how many will be open, assuming things are 'back to normal', whatever that means:  

Expect to be open (if performances have re-started): Tina

Think will probably re-open: Company, WSS

Think will not be open (either with the same actors or in this season): The Minutes, Va. Woolf, Hangmen, How I Learned to Drive.

The irony is that the only show I could care less about is Tina.  My wife specifically requested to see (which she rarely does) it so I got tickets.  Since we are going with friends, and we have great seats, I was even considering putting mine up on Stubhub and seeing something else.  I am hoping that I am wrong re Hangmen and Va Woolf, in particular.

Since I get to NYC once or twice a year: THE CHER SHOW, the final performance last August.
 

Still feel it had the hottest, sexiest ensemble I’d seen in a long time. And I got to meet my chorus boy crush, Charlie Williams as he worked a BC/EFA bucket the first time I saw it a year ago. Too bad he changed out of his finale unbuttoned shirt and into a tshirt and baggy overalls.

I saw The Minutes on 3/10 (sans Jessie, but her understudy was fantastic even without any rehearsal), but the last thing I saw was Hangmen on 3/11.

I had so many shows scheduled - missed 10 so far and I had tickets for Diana for tonight.

Oh no, I'm so sorry you missed Part 2, that's awful. I saw Part 1 twice and Part 2 three times. I don't think ever cried so much in a show.

Last show I saw was Grand Horizons on it's closing weekend.

Got to see The Lehman Trilogy right before Broadway closed and am definitely happy I went earlier than planned

Company on the 5th. Loved every second of it despite being in a splint after breaking my wrist on the way to "Confession of Lily Dare" earlier that day. Still went to "Lily" and THEN got treatment. and three hours later was second row left at "Company." Props to CityMD, who had me in and out in an hour and got me into an ortho doctor the next morning.

Technically not Broadway, but just as well might have been, Mack and Mabel.

Dear Evan Hansen- March 8th

I've been wanting to see this show for forever (pun intended). Seeing it with Jordan Fisher was just the cherry on top!

I was in NYC at the end of January, and saw a Sunday evening performance of "Moulin Rouge."  I was to have returned at the end of April for 2 weeks to see more shows.  Currently have tickets for "The Music Man" in November, but - that's not going to happen.

Extraordinary. Really couldn’t have chosen better."

I feel the same way. Truly a stunning performance that I couldn't stop thinking about after I saw it. I wish Laurie Metcalfe had the chance to get that Tony Award for her performance.

I don't remember the order, but the last weekend before the shutdown I saw Company, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Come From Away (I wanted to see Rachel Tucker!). :) All fantastic.
