Feb 15 Evening - Wicked Musical

Feb 16 Matinee and Evening - Any musical/play

You should see The Humans. Just because I'm recommending it to everyone.

Go see A View from the Bridge!!!! Try to see if you can do rush tickets which are $20 and include stage seating. It's well worth it.

I'm coming up in a month or so and on my list are Fun Home (for the 3rd time...yes, it's THAT good.), Color Purple, Fiddler, She Loves Me, Shuffle Along, Waitress, and The Crucible! I've heard nothing but GREAT things about the ones from that list that are already playing.

I know my friend got a great deal on tickets for Daddy Long Legs on Valentine's Day if you wanted to add that to your list!

What are your preferences? Looks like so far you have mostly seen the big hit musicals with a high entertainment factor. If that's what you're looking for I would put Something Rotten on your list. As a play would highly recommend The Curious Incident. If you like Disney, Aladdin is definitely worth seeing (do they have tickets last minute though?) Finding Neverland might also be of interest.

If you want to step outside the box a little and are interested in a small, intimate show in a tiny Off-Broadway theatre, see Daddy Long Legs. Think about Fun Home (although I feel like it would already be on your list if you were interested?).

A very FUNNY play I can recommend is Noises Off. Blackbird was also really good, but it's quite and intense drama.
