My daughter and I will be in NYC this coming Wednesday-Monday for 5 wonderful days of shows. We want to pack as much in as possible and we have one slot left - Sunday night. We would love suggestions/recommendations for a show that night (off-Broadway is great too). We've got tickets to What the Constitution Means to Me, Oklahoma, Mockingbird, Moulin Rouge, Tootsie, Hadestown, and The Prom. Thanks all.

I would definitely recommend Beetlejuice, I saw it twice in NYC and it’s so fun and a great show! You’ll love it! Also the shows you are already seeing are amazing have so much fun!

I’d highly recommend The Book of Mormon, but only if your daughter is old enough for to be okay with the vulgarity of the show. Lots of swearing, and a bit of sexual humor, but the overall theme is really sweet, and it’s unlike anything else on Broadway. In my opinion it would be a great way to end the trip.

I would say The Book of Mormon is suitable for 16+, but it really depends on your guys’ family dynamic. Listen to Hasa Diga Ebowai on YouTube. That’s the most vulgar moment of the show. If you think she can handle that, then I’d say go for it!

There isn't really a lot of shows that play on Sunday night, esp in the summer.

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.

Here’s a crazy idea - take a night off? Even with Broadway there can be too much of a good thing. Grab a nice meal out or for something totally different check out STOMP or Blue Man Group. Have fun!

A night off is always an option too Need recommendations for a show this Sunday night 7/28  Any feedback on #DateMe?  Noticed that one has a Sunday night show - would be something different!

Seconding Bounty Hunter, which could be a nice palate cleanser among your relatively serious slate of shows.

Fairview is also worthy, quite challenging and thought-provoking, plus it'll get you to a new part of town, if you've any interest. I'd recommend a dinner at No. 7 before or after, but a very easy subway ride and lots of good options in Ft Greene.

If I were you, I'd stay far, far away from Beetlejuice.

How about ''The Play That Goes Wrong'' Sun. at 7 p.m. at New World Stages? (And ''Beetlejuice'' doesn't play Sun. nights.)

Of the available options, Fairview is certainly my favorite.

I'm not sure about the age or maturity of your daughter, but it's certainly not an "easy" play. It's not overtly profane, violent, or sexual - just difficult subject matter. It's masterfully presented, but depending on the occasion, I might hesitate to take someone with me, let alone a young person.

The Play That Goes Wrong is a solid option. Very enjoyable for anyone and I would imagine reasonably priced.

Thanks for all the great tips!  Fairview looks really good, but it's sold out.  On our short list is Book Of Mormon, Chicago (never seen live), Broadway Bounty Hunter, #DateMe, and Mojada.  We've seen the Play that Goes Wrong and aren't too interested in Pretty Woman.  How is Chicago holding up?

Not sure if your Username refers to The Great Comet of 1812 or just comets in general. If it's the former, then Grace McLean's new show In the Green has Sunday night performances.

It's an odd piece, but I liked it a lot.

It does refer to The Great Comet - best theater experience of my life, and shared with my daughter!  Thanks for the rec for Grace's new show.  I'll look in to it.

I'd highly recommend "Fiddler on the Roof" - it is a perfect production of the perfect musical with a stellar cast. I have worked 3 productions  and seen countless others and this is the best.
