"Dear Evan Hansen" got good word of mouth in Washington, DC and is playing at Second Stage. And though I wouldn't necessarily place it at the top 5, "Bright Star" was a pretty good small folksy and enjoyable show when I saw it at the Old Globe in San Diego. And I saw "Daddy Long Legs" in its original run on the west coast. Speaking of folksy shows, the Roundabout is doing "Robber Bridegroom" with Steven Pasquale.
I am arriving just after you leave for my theatre trip for just over a week and a half with "Hamilton" (got my tickets last October), "Shuffle Along", "Dear Evan Hansen", "American Psycho", "Tuck Everlasting", "Waitess", "Fiddler", "The Humans", "The Crucible", "School of Rock" and "Paramour". I saw Roundabout's previous production of "She Loves Me" so I may see that if I have time and can get a discounted ticket. A friend of mine saw workshops of "Nerds" and said it's actually pretty good. But I can't get excited for that. I saw "King and I" and "Something Rotten" last year and they were "wonderful" and "fun" respectively. I also was lucky enough to see "Hamilton". Sounds like you have a good line up. Have a great time.
