What should I see?

Coming into town the weekend of July 12th and have time to catch 3 shows. Thinking Matilda but after that not sure....any suggestions?

I tend to lean towards off-Broadway before Broadway. Last time I was there I saw Tribes, Bare and 27th Man and loved them all. Didn't love Giant. Awhile back saw Cock and loved that one as well. Obviously, I lean towards the dramas and rock musicals.

Would love any thoughts you all have.

Thanks in advance.

Most of the shows I've seen from this season have closed by now, but I can tell you Alan Cumming's Macbeth is phenomenal.

I'd definitely recommend checking out MURDER BALLAD. If you're into darker, edgy rock musicals, you couldn't ask for a more perfect fit. BUYER & CELLAR is one of my favorite shows from last season, and one of the funniest, so I would echo greengirl's sentiments. HERE LIES LOVE is an amazing experience, but I would imagine getting a ticket would be tough.

As far as more "mainstream" Broadway stuff goes, VANYA & SONIA & MASHA & SPIKE and PIPPIN are my two favorite play/musical productions that hit Broadway this past season. And THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL is a lovely production with a great leading performance from Tyson.

Go see HERE LIES LOVE if you can manage to get tickets

I too vote for, Here Lies Love, but sadly, it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to obtain a ticket.

From my understanding, HERE LIES LOVE, has a few balcony seats left before it closes at the end of the month. I haven't tried every performance, but all those I have tried show no floor tickets available.

Just echoing fellow posters' suggestion of "Murder Ballad" - seems right up your alley and is a great night of theatre.

Haven't seen it yet, but you might want to look into "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812" to see if that interests you.

And, I will always recommend "Vanya and Sonia..."

I'd go see Kinky Boots too. Not sure if tickets are available but so worth the time to go.
