In the midst of all this snow and winter, I’ve been slowly and steadily making plans for our annual Mother’s Day weekend in New York. An old-school hotel – the Warwick – has been reserved (I splurged on a larger room in the hopes of counteracting the traditionally-smaller older rooms of the city) and two shows have already been planned – ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ and ‘The Boys in the Band’. There is still an open slot for one more, however, though I’m uncharacteristically indecisive about which one it should be. And so I look to you…
Any recommendations on some must-see productions? I’d love to take my Mom to see ‘Hamilton’ but tickets are still starting at the $800 range which is way too much for a history lesson, no matter how amazing. I was leaning toward ‘Once On This Island’ – and it’s still at the top of my list, but perhaps something else has snuck under the radar, or is about to do so? Andy and I are seeing the new Harry Potter plays next month so that’s out, and I had the fortune to catch ‘The Band’s Visit’ and ‘M. Butterfly’ shortly after they opened last year. I need some more ideas!
