I would really look into some plays right now. To Kill A Mockinbird, The Ferryman, Gary, Burn This, King Lear, Ink, All My Sons, it's going to be packed for them this spring, all with great performers in iconic roles. If you are going the musical route, I am personally not as familiar, although Hadestown and Tootsie have the most buzz, with The Prom getting some great reviews as well.
