Honeymoon in Vegas (if it is still running cause its a great time.) My opinion avoid Fun Home--it's depressing and dull. Beautiful Wicked Book of Mormon Finding Neverland.
New shows? Musicals? Plays? Hard to make suggestions without know more about you. What are your favorite shows? Least favorite?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Curious Incident. It's likely to be nominated. And, it may be a show that would have difficulty touring due to the set and lighting design. so, you may only be able to see in NYC (or some other city that does a sit-down).
Curious Incident Hand to God Fun Home On the Town would all be big hits at the Tonys this year, I imagine, so those would be excellent choices. and On the Twentieth Century is a great pick for a fun night.
Skip Honeymoon - it's not even worth consideration.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
I would say Fun Home, Curious Incident, and either Something Rotten or Finding Neverland! All of them are sure to be tony noms, so it would be fun to see them before seeing the show!
That's my Tony weekend lineup (I saw Fun Home at the Public). If you want to go to the Tonys I'd recommend something short on Sunday before the ceremony (either Fun Home or The Visit would be wise).
Oh, Roxy... is it so strange to you that a person may find a show to be abhorrent without "rooting" for it's failure or "celebrating" if it should close? I will simply say "good, they got the message" when they post a closing notice and look forward to whatever takes the Nederlander next. There is no cruelty or malice in me towards the show.
However, when asked for opinions for shows to see, especially within a time limitation, there is both reason to consider shows to see and to avoid to best winnow down the choices. Since the OP stated the purpose of the trip was to see shows "for the Tonys" it is best to focus on likely players. Thus, I pitched my two cents on what shows are both best and seem most likely to make that short trip a worthwhile one.

If you are a fan of the so-called "classic era" between 1943 (Oklahoma) to, I don't know, the first half of the sixties, or have great curiosity about that era you should see The King and I. This is one of the classic "classics" and this lavish production starring one of Broadway's greatest current stars, Kelli O'Hara, is one of the truest to the original.
Whether you love it or think that it is overrated, you will have seen for yourself what a "classic" musical is and you'll have that on you resume.
