Flying in from Chicago for a quick Broadway fix first weekend in May. Have tickets for Present Laughter Friday night and Hello Dolly Saturday night. Would love to see Sat matinee DEH but not willing to pay StubHub etc. prices. Same for Anastasia. Considering Amelie, Sunset Blvd., Come From Away. Prefer something that won't be in Chicago anytime soon, though would possibly consider Waitress b/c of Sara Bareilles. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas!
Sunset is a must-see. Plus it's gone after June. Glenn, the 40 piece orchestra, the colors of the music of ALW's best work.Can't miss it.

SUNSET BOULEVARD is a limited engagement through June only, so that's the clear choice, in my opinion. It has a 40-piece-orchestra, the largest in Broadway history, and, for that reason alone, it should not be missed. Between the orchestra and Glenn Close, it's a no-brainer.
Would it have to be Sunset, Close is giving a once in a lifetime performance..it's worth the price of admission for that single moment when the spot light catches her just before As If We Never Said Goodbye
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Finally got to see it tonight and was blown away.

School of Rock will be part of Chicago's upcoming season, so wanted to see something else in NY.

I think Gian Carlo Menotti's The Saint of Bleecker Street (1954) holds that record, with an orchestra of 56. I think too that the original Porgy and Bess (1935) was scored for 42.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Since it's your first time posting, it would help to know what kind of shows you like. Dance shows, ensemble shows, spectacles... genres of music, etc.
Personally, I want to check out Anastasia or Amelie. And Waitress should be great, especially for a group of women. Nothing against the other shows, but I'm excited about the wave of female protagonists on/coming to Broadway this season. Have you considered War Paint or did you already see it?
I'll add my name to the Sunset Boulevard crowd. This is a very special and limited engagement, the likes of which will never be seen again (Ms. Close is almost 70 years old). It definitely will not be staged in your home town, so it's essentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
