Hello! My friend got me a ticket to go see the Falsettos matinee this Sunday, December 11th and I was wondering what would be a good show to see on Sunday evening?
I tried to snag a ticket for Dear Evan Hansen's performance, but it looks like it's sold out.

Oh, Hello
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

I also recommend Oh Hello. If your heart's set on Dear Evan Hansen, though, you could always try for cancellations. That worked for me last weekend.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

The Color Purple!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I've seen the touring productions of The Lion King, Wicked, Chicago, Beautiful, Matilda and Book of Mormon. Are any of these shows extremely different on tour than the shows on Broadway? I've also seen School of Rock.

I would recommend Color Purple at the highest regard as well, but they definitely don't have a Sunday evening performance, at least this week...

I just checked and it looks like they do not have a Sunday show this week.

Based on the Sunday schedule posted above, Oh, Hello for sure - unless you can find a way into Dear Evan Hansen.

I will say that Cats is also playing, I have never seen the show before.

Dear Evan Hansen might sell standing room if Sunday's performance is sold out. Otherwise I would go with Oh Hello.

Oh, Hello would be my pick, too.
