What to see?

Ok, I am going to New York for the very first time for the express purpose of seeing some shows. I am having a bit of difficulty deciding what. I know what I like, but I only have time for four shows, and consolidation is not my strongest suit. I have no clue when I would be back to New York to see shows again, but very likely it won't be anytime soon, proably a few years. I am a TOTAL theatre queen, so i'm pretty much open to anything. I am going January 4-7, Fri-Sun, (but no time for sunday shows). My pool is something like Grey Gardens / A Chorus Line / Spring Awakeing / Wicked / Mary Poppins / The Apple Tree. My current set is everything but MP and GG. Thanks for any help in advance. AH! So many choices!
P.S. If this is a completely stupid question, just yell at me and let it quietly pass into obscurity . But if not, or your just helpful, THANKS!

Though this only adds to your conundrum, you should consider seeing the Company revival, as well.

if it were me i would try to get a ticket to A Chrous Line now. you can't go wrong with that show. in addition, i'd pick The Apple Tree.

if you're going to want to see Wicked i'd recommend getting your ticket for that now too. keep in mind theatre is in high demand so b*tches are taking all the seats.

i know what it's like to come to NYC for the first time though :) i secretly get giddy every weekend when i come down from Boston

right, the only reason i didn't mention GG was because you said everything but that. GG won't be around that long so i'd snatch that baby up quick!

CoolKid- Rent has a lottery? When did this happen?

THE WEDDING SINGER
THE APPLE TREE
GREY GARDENS
THE COLOR PURPLE

The Wedding Singer!!! Such a fantastic fun show!!

Drowsy Chaperone (A must see INHO)
Spring Awakenings (Loved it Off Broadway)
Grey Gardens (So you can say you saw it at Tony time!)
The Color Purple

I always try to see something new as I only get to New York once or twice a year.

personally, i'd go and see whatever is new (just to see the OBC), or one of the revivals.
