Recommendations for NYC??

[Diverdan]

Hi guys,

I will be in NYC for several days in mid-February.... love some advise on "you must see this show"... not very concerned about price, just want to see some shows that you guys think are great. Thanks in advance. Please PM me if you prefer.

Just returned home from a week in NY during which I saw eight shows. Highlights were: "Beautiful", "Grass Menagerie" and "Outside Mullingar".

You'll be in NY at a great time for theater. "Buyer And Cellar" and "A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder" would be at the top of my list.

After Midnight is a great show as well. Liked "Beautiful" and "Glass Menagerie" too. Haven't seen "Outside Mullingar" yet and want to see "Macinal" as well.

"Kinky Boots", "Pippin", tons of very good theater to see. Off to "King Lear" at BAM this week.

Thanks, guys... much appreciated.... I will probably end up trying to see a show every night I am in town, and then hopefully a great massage to cap the evening and allow me a good night's sleep before back to business the next day !!!

"The Bridges of Madison County," a musical with Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale is in preview now. And "All the Way" with Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston starts previews in February. Usually that time of year is bleak with most new shows starting later, not this year

Thanks, William... much appreciated.

It's by the folks that did Sleep No More (which is also fun) an immersive theater version of MacBeth. This is an immersive theater dinner party in the newly restored Diamond Horseshoe club, part Cirque, part Casatti part Magic Flute. Great food. Bit pricey but it's dinner and a show so...

I hope they do more with Bridges of Madison County than they did with the novel. Diverdan, you might consider Kinky Boots, a big Tony-winning musical that I loved. The play Kung Fu opens at the Signature on the 24th, with tickets at only $25 and a real hunk in the lead.
