The past few months have witnessed a deluge of new performance work across New York City, many of it absolutely wonderful. It’s a decadent time to see theater and dance—from such wildly inventive original musicals as Here Lies Love and Shucked to moving revivals such as Parade and Sweeney Todd.
The list below highlights shows that are coming up or have debuted since we did our last list in the winter. You can still see some of our favorites, including Titanique, Little Shop of Horrors, Some Like It Hot, Kimberly Akimbo, & Juliet, Funny Girl and Six.
