Like I said, you’ll know the ending of the show if do. Otherwise, don’t listen to the last two songs. A lot of the story is told through the songs and you’ll be ahead of the game, as some of the people around me seem to be checking their programs often during the show as if they were lost as to what was going on. Here’s the program from the show - you’ll notice it differs slightly from the album in that there are a few songs from the beginning of the album not on there:
 

Thanks so much for this post. I have tickets in April for their performance in San Diego. Anxious to see it.
 
Hadn't thought about listening to the album but plan to do that before the performance.

Definitely one of the funniest I’ve ever seen. And you’re right about the multitude of references scattered throughout the show, as well as in the key “Musical” dance sequence which is amazing in itself. You really have to be up on a lot of general knowledge or some of the references get by you. The ending “eggs act” (don’t want to give too much away) is freaking hilarious and I was in tears.

A coworker was excited to share how good it was. He saw the touring show at The Ahmanson.

Saw the touring show last night in Salt Lake City and I was blown away!! What a fantastic play.
 
I suspect it was on Broadway the same time as Hamilton and was in the shadows. But, it is one of the best plays that I've seen. The music is great and I loved the numerous references to musicals that I've seen through the years.
 
Many of the actors in the touring show were on Broadway. I couldn't believe I was seeing this show in Salt Lake City and not on Broadway. You really don't want to miss this play if it comes to your town. I'm already searching to see if it comes to San Diego so I can see it again.
 
And, lot of great eye candy in the cast.

Saw Fun Home national tour at the Ahmanson. Loved it. (Yeah we're easy to please out here. )
 

 
 
Saw Hedwig at the Pantages. Rock and Roll!
 
D. Criss was mouthwatering. I think Criss' performance got the reviewer at the LA Times all wet, like she was in love. I will always remember the platform arising for WLT, Criss in just those short shorts. What a bod! The audience loved him.
 

 
 
Looks like we don't get Wicked next year.

Agree N13!
 
Dear Evan Hansen is astounding! I have not been so overwhelmed (in a good way) by a play and performance in years. Ben Platt is amazing. I cannot imagine someone else in this role.
 
Add to your list(s) the revival of Sunday in the Park with George. Jake was wonderful - who knew the guy had a voice like that?
 
Looking forward to starting my list for 2018!

Dear Evan Hanson blew everything else away!
Saw a number of shows on your list but I don't think it was in 2017.
 
“The Book of Mormon” ok but nothing special
“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time” Supurb!
“Fun Home” Hated it
“An American in Paris ok
"American Psycho" Loved it
"Come Back to the Dime Store Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean" dated
"Sweeney Todd" in the village Very good
"A Clockwork Orange" Dreadful
