So I’m trying to fill my 2019 Broadway calendar and I want your thoughts on what to add.

Here’s what I saw in 2018:
-Hamilton
-Frozen
-Once On This Island x3
-The Book of Mormon
-Anastasia
-Spongebob
-Dear Evan Hansen
-Waitress x2

Here’s what tickets I already have for 2019:
-Once On This Island x2
-Be More Chill
-Frozen
-Tootsie
-The Band’s Visit
-Anastasia

So I really love Once On This Island because it’s short and I can get the 5 pm train home. I can get my Broadway fix and be in and out of the city by a reasonable time (otherwise, it’s the 8pm train home. Ugh).

Anyway, thoughts on shows to add. I normally go by myself (all except BMC are solo trips next year) so I’m open to pretty much anything.

I look forward to your thoughts and recommendations!

Yes I would love to buy King Kong! I might want to hold off until first previews though.

Depending on buzz from the out-of-town run, maybe Beetlejuice. Also, Moulin Rouge once an opening is announced and tickets go on sale.

OOTI may close early 2019.

Also, depending on buzz/previews, maybe Kiss Me, Kate.

Yes definitely want to see Moulin Rouge if tickets go on sale for next year  I wanted to go to Boston but with work I couldn’t get there. I’m waiting to hear about the reviews for Beetlejuice! It’s probably good

Oh well that changes some things! I didn’t realize it was 90 min too. I googled after I read this and saw The Band’s Visit is only 90 min too. I do love OOTI but now I have more options!

Both Come From Away and The Band's Visit are superb.
