How many have you seen or will be seeing before the Tony awards? Every year I try to see all of them before the show but I always end up slacking a bit and missing a few before the awards and end up cramming everything from now untill the show lol
I've seen: (12) Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 Groundhog Day August Wilson's Jitney Falsettos Present Laughter The Front Page Six Degrees of Separation Heisenberg Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical The Present Arthur Miller's The Price War Paint
Have tickets for before the Tony Awards: (6) A Doll's House Part 2 Oslo The Little Foxes Miss Saigon The Glass Menagerie The Play That Goes Wrong
Have tickets for post Tony Awards: (1) Hello, Dolly!
Plan on seeing before the Tony Awards: (4) Indecent Sweat Anastasia Bandstand
Only seeing if I do rush/standing room or win a lotto: (2) Dear Evan Hansen Come From Away
I've seen Dear Evan Hansen and the Great Comet and was very much underwhelmed. I also saw Falsettos which I loved and very glad for their Tony recognitions. A week before Tony weekend I have tickets to Groundhog Day, Come from Away and Miss Saigon (which I have seen in London). I'm also seeing Charlie and Anastasia despite the lack of Tony love, not exchanging them for anything!
I've been away from NYC for most of the year, so I've only seen 10 of the 25 so far.
I've currently seen:
Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 - 12 Dear Evan Hansen - 9 A Doll's House, Part 2 - 8 Come From Away - 7 Groundhog Day The Musical - 7 Sweat - 3 Indecent - 3 Anastasia - 2 The Glass Menagerie - 1 The Play That Goes Wrong - 1
Planning to see:
Hello, Dolly! - 10 Oslo - 7 Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes - 6 Present Laughter - 3 Arthur Miller's The Price - 1
On the fence about whether I will see it or not:
War Paint - 4 Bandstand - 2 Miss Saigon - 2 Six Degrees of Separation - 2
Missed out:
August Wilson's Jitney - 6 Falsettos - 5 The Front Page - 2 Heisenberg - 1 Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical - 1 The Present - 1
Last year I saw all 26 except for Hughie, which was just nominated for its set design.
I've seen Great Comet, Come From Away, War Paint, Holiday Inn, and have tickets for The Play that Goes Wrong. Hopefully I'll see Anastasia and Groundhog Day before the show. Sad I missed Falsettos.
I'm trying to be a little more financially conservative this year so for the most part am only seeing the musicals.
So far I've seen: Hello, Dolly Dear Evan Hansen Come From Away Great Comet (from lousy seating) Bandstand War Paint The Play That Goes Wrong Holiday Inn (through Broadway HD)
Before the Tonys I have tickets for: Great Comet (from good seating) Groundhog Day Miss Saigon Anastasia
I'm bummed to have missed Falsettos... I've been holding out hope that PBS will air it before 6/11, but I know that's unlikely.

That would be a very loose interpretation of "Fall.""

There is a today tix online lotto for this show still. Probably hard to win since most of the shows are sold out but it's worth a shot if you're in the area and want to see it.
Seen: Great Comet, Dear Evan Hansen, Come From Away, War Paint, Oslo, A Doll's House Part 2, The Play That Goes Wrong, Jitney, The Little Foxes, The Glass Menagerie.
Ideally in the next few weeks I'd like to see Sweat and Indecent, and potentially Hello, Dolly! if I can get myself up early enough to try for standing room.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
By the Tonys, I will have seen everything nominated except The Present. If only Janney had gotten in instead of Blanchett, this could have been the first year I saw every nominee. Last year, I also missed just one nominee, also for Best Actress in a Play--Laurie Metcalf in Misery. The completist in me is slightly devastated.
Just Great Comet and Front Page for me. Just bought my ticket for DEH in November ($200 for mid-mezzanine! That's the most I've ever paid for a theater ticket) and also plan to see Hello Dolly, Come from Away, Miss Saigon, and Groundhog Day on that trip. I'd also like to see Sweat and Indecent but I doubt either of them will last until November.

Im missing a lot of the plays, which i likely wont see now as im from the UK and can only afford so many trips to NY a year (may have just come back from my 3rd trip this year oops!)
None. I have no trips planned to New York City. For my only visit to New York City this year, I saw Othello, the Remix and The Color Purple - neither were eligible for this year's Tony Awards.
(I did see Miss Saigon, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and The Play That Goes Wrong in London in 2014, if that counts).
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.

Thanks, but I no longer live in NYC, already have shows booked this weekend, and am on vacation next week, so no real opportunity before it closes. ;-(
