Hadestown --if you don't get tickets ASAP, this may be a difficult one to see because prices might skyrocket if they raves on Wednesday.
The Prom
Come From Away --recommended to my sister and she loved it! Also 90 minutes, and just amazing.
The Ferryman--Balance out the musicals with a play thrown in there.
Finally--I have a tie between Network, Oklahoma! and My Fair Lady. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those. Just my opinion though!

I’ve been to NYC twice already this year so I’ve seen 14 shows already (most of which have closed), but if I was in your position, these would be the 5 new (to me) shows I’d see:
- [ ] To Kill a Mockingbird
- [ ] Oklahoma!
- [ ] Hadestown
- [ ] Tootsie
- [ ] The Cher Show

A friend saw Hillary and Clinton and said it was pointless. He didn’t regret seeing it because it was only like 80 minutes or so. But he also sees everything and always gets his tickets relatively cheap. I’d say skip it and see Oklahoma! and Tootsie instead.
Update: and I only say this because, like me, your trips to NY are limited and you can’t see everything.
Also, I highly recommend you see Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.

I thought King Lear and Gary were both terrible. I would definitely skip those.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
