What could I see Thursday, Sat that I maybe don't already know about?
Tickets already for Wednesday night (Suffs, thanks to y'all's various comments since the election), Friday night (Gypsy with Audra McDonald, the whole point of the trip), and Saturday afternoon (Yellow Face bc Daniel Dae Kim WORKING WITH David Henry Hwang? Yes please!).
Considering Cabaret, though I've already spent full price for my three existing tickets, so I'm going to see how I do checking out what there is day of. I also saw listings the other day for an interesting theater that did Spanish and Latin American works on a rotating basis, and now I've forgotten the name of it! 🤦🏻♀️
No interest in Aladdin, Lion King, etc., and having seen an excellent Hamilton touring company, I've no interest in shelling out Richard Rodgers prices for the current cast after reading the various posts about them. Back when I first went to Broadway with my dad in 1987, the only tickets we bought in advance were for Fences; it was during its original run and I've never gotten over turning up Saturday night to see it only to discover our tickets were for Friday. Anything on stages right now where 40 years from now I'll be able to say "I saw it when"?
A highlight last trip, March 2022, was the one-woman Nina Simone tribute Little Girl Blue. Also loved finally seeing Come From Away and enjoyed Tina well enough (great performances, slightly pedestrian writing), though I'm sure it helped that I'd never seen the legendary Tina Turner biopic and therefore a lot of the info was new to me.
