Cole Escola is back as Mary, so now's a good time to see it.

Six - fun short show. Perfect for a Friday night when you might be tired or Sunday matinee before you head home.
Hells Kitchen - Didn't think I would like it because I am not a hug Alicia Keys fan. It was great. Great mix of upbeat and tragically sad.
Gypsy - Audra McDonald is phenomenal. I don't love that show (have seen it before) but getting to see her live is an experience.

I wanted to add that Maybe Happy Ending will begin touring in 2026 but the staging on Broadway is truly spectacular and if that matters to you, then see it on Broadway.
If you want to see a show that will probably not tour, you can see Real Women Have Curves which is not really about body positivity but about family and community.

If you want to see what's likely to be the Best Musical Tony, see Maybe Happy Ending. Sweet Musical that wrestles with themes of love and mortality, small cast of four, strong performances by the main two, and excellent stage craft.
For a romp/spectacle, see Death Becomes Her. Comedy romp and spectacle, large cast, great chemistry between its two leads, both if which are Tony nominated.
Operation Mincemeat is a west end transfer, British Comedy/history musical, cast of 5 playing multiple roles, Jak Malone is the favorite for Best Supporting Actor in a musical. If you like Monty Python this might be a good one for you.
Supposedly the current Cabaret cast with Eva Noblezada and Orville Peck is fantastic. Cabaret has some heavy subject matter, particularly right now.
Picture of Dorian Grey is a one woman show, Sarah Snook is supposed to be very good in it.
I second most of this. Maybe Happy Ending is so good. Sitting center orchestra is best. Avoid side orchestra especially near the front.
Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada are very good in Cabaret, but I'm not personally a fan of the show. If you are, this is a great cast and staging.

Hell’s Kitchen, for sure.
