Making my annual Broadway trip next week for the express purpose of seeing Angels in America and The Band's Visit. Looking to fill one extra slot. I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation for any up and coming Off-Broadway shows that would be worth seeing.
The camera work for Come From Away was ridiculous; namely, the awkward zoom-ins during the first half of the number and the audience hair partially blocking the shot. Also, the sound mixing at first was frightening with one voice being far too loud... thankfully that got corrected.

So, I'm a theater lover from fly-over country that gets to NYC maybe once every other year. I've got a trip upcoming in March and have a question that I can't find answers for by searching this board or anywhere else on the internets.
I'm dying to see Alan Cumming in Cabaret. I have tickets for the final show on 3/29 because I thought it would be cool to say I was there for the last show... but now I'm wondering if that was a mistake. Should one expect the final show to be a markedly
