I also have Tourette's, and I'll be in NYC this weekend to see a few shows (hoping to get in to Hadestown via the lottery!). My advice would be to tell the people right next to you, if it'll ease your ability to enjoy the show and not worry about bothering others. But in all honesty, I rarely bring it up myself. Unfortunately there are all sorts of actually avoidable distractions in theaters these days, so our condition that we have no control over is nobody&
I saw it in previews as well, and while it was too long and slow in parts, I was in it 100% for the performances and the dance numbers, and absolutely loved it. Totally worth it.
I'm also going in August! I have tickets to Moulin Rouge already, and hope to get tickets to Come From Away. Trying to decide on the other 2 to see. I'll probably do TKTS for those so I'm not holding my breath for Hadestown. Maybe Tootsie?? Suggestions?
On THR's Awards Chatter podcast recently, Billy Porter said that there are other reasons that show closed aside from Audra's pregnancy, but would not go into detail. He didn't sound pleased. He also said he'd probably write about it in a book someday.
Thank you all so much for the great suggestions! I had a fantastic trip a couple weeks ago. I ended up seeing The Color Purple, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Shuffle Along, and American Psycho. I really enjoyed them all, but Color Purple and Shuffle Along were probably my favorites. Blown away by the talent in those. And the music in Color Purple -- WOW!

Haha then I may see ya there! Listening to a couple snippets of songs from Color Purple is what won me over for picking that.
Thanks for all the thorough replies!! Very helpful. I did use BroadwayBox for shuffle & psycho, so saved some $$ already. I have a wide variety of tastes, so just have to decide if I want powerful, fun, showstoppers, a classic, etc!
Thanks for the advice so far! What would be maybe the most entertaining/funny show, and what show has the biggest "wow" factor (whether it be the music, cast, staging, spectacle, etc)....of those that have opened within the past couple years?
Heading to NYC in a couple weeks. Already have tix to Shuffle Along and American Psycho, going to TKTS a couple more shows. Need some recommendations please! Thoughts on Fun Home, Color Purple, Something Rotten, King and I, Waitress,Blackbird, Finding Neverland, or something even better than all these (besides Hamilton), that I may be missing?? Priorities??? (Wanted Long Day's but it's sold out already for my dates). Thanks!!
