Heading to the city next week. Would love to catch a couple Off Broadway shows. What are the shows to see right now?

I want to see the new Will Arbery play "Evanston Salt Costs Climbing". It has piqued my interest. It starts previews this Wednesday, I think. "Straight Line Crazy" at The Shed with Ralph Fiennes has been getting some buzz it seems. "Camp Siegfried" at 2nd Stage starts previews this week. Everyone really likes "Little Shop of Horrors" at the Westside also.

A Raisin in the Sun at the Public

A Man of No Importance at Classic Stage

Unfortunately, the entire run of Straight Line Crazy is sold out.

Not aware of your preferences,  but I'd go with Little Shop off Horrors and Becky Nurse of Salem.

I saw Kinky Boots and it is a total joy from start to finish. I adored it.

I really enjoyed Where the Mountain Meets the Sea at MTC, as well as the Public’s revival of Raisin in the Sun.

A Man of No Importance is worth it if you’ve never seen the material performed before; it’s a lovely little musical, but I didn’t like the production or Jim Parsons. 

Becky Nurse delayed its previews by a couple weeks, so you might miss it if you’re coming next week.

haven’t seen these yet, but I’m really excited for Bedlam’s  productions of Winter’s Tale and Hedda Gabler - I have tix to see them in a couple weeks, and I’m looking forward to it a lot because Bedlam is one of my favorite companies. 

Also looking forward to Hound Dog, which I’m seeing at Ars Nova this week. 

There’s also a German production of Hamlet playing at BAM for the next 2 weeks - it’s highly acclaimed production by Thomas Ostermeier, which has been around for over a decade. Might be worth checking out if you like that sort of thing, and if you’ve never gotten a chance to see this production.

You Will Get Sick seems to be getting mixed feedback, but a lot of people seem to agree it’s a pretty intriguing and ambitious piece of work. 

Only Gold is a fairly high profile production of a new musical, currently playing at MCC, but it seems to have gotten pretty mixed-to-negative responses.

If you've never seen Kinky Boots, there's a good amount of discounts available and they have an online lottery.

If you like British humor, The Play That Goes Wrong is hysterical.

I would recommend Wuthering Heights or A Raisin in the Sun but both are about three hours so you would need to set aside some time for them.

Where the Mountain Meets the Sea was just alright but slow, it's a sweet story but pretty thin- only 80 mins 

Titanique is really the best time you can have- I would say go to that one ASAP

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt after The Play That Goes Wrong! Love it

I just got tickets to see David Cale’s thriller Sandra at the Vineyard.  It looks interesting and I loved Marjan Neshat in English so I am optimistic that the acting will be great. Directed by Leigh Silverman, costumes by Linda Cho and scenic design by Rachel Hauck.
