Hi all, I am currently in NYC for a trip and I am trying to figure out what shows I should see Wednesday and Thursday. I am currently thinking:
Wed Mat: Great Comet
Wed N: Aladdin
Thu: Cats
I have already seen Dear Evan Hansen. Should I change anything ?

I'd go with School of Rock over Cats. Or maybe Jersey Boys since it's closing. Just, anything but Cats.

If you want to see those three, then see them. But I'd recommend The Humans over Cats or Aladdin.

Don't miss Great Comet—definitely keep that a lock.
Aladdin and Cats are okay. I honestly think the latter is better than the former. School of Rock is fun! I also think The Humans is a waste of time.
I'd personally recommend Jersey Boys (especially in its final week) and Waitress or Kinky Boots.

What kinds of shows do you typically like? What other shows have you seen in the past, besides Dear Evan Hansen recently, or is it your first time in New York? Do you have the chance to see touring productions?
Great Comet is good choice. Cats and Aladdin are maybe not as unique as some of your other options. But if it's your first time and/or you don't have access to tours, I agree with the others: go with your gut instinct and see what you most wanna see!

I saw Cats a few nights ago with no prior knowledge other than listening to the cast recording once and hating it. I actually really loved the show, the dancing is awesome! It's light, but it's a fun night out. Definitely keep Comet. I've only seen the Australian Aladdin and it was alright, I'm sure the Broadway leads are much stronger.

Keep Comet, but maybe switch out one of the others for Waitress or Kinky Boots, two of my faves
