With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
“Liberation”
You only have a few more chances to catch Bess Wohl’s “Liberation.” In the play, it’s 1970 and a group of women gather with hopes to change the world. Decades later, one of their daughters tries to figure out where things went wrong. “Liberation” will play its final performance at the James Earl Jones Theatre on Sunday.
“High Spirits”
Heading now to City Center, the 1964 musical “High Spirits” is being revived courtesy of the Encore series. The musical is based on the Noel Coward play “Blithe Spirit” about a widowed gentleman who remarries and is haunted by his first wife. The musical stars real-life married couple Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale — plus, Andrea Martin, Rachel Dratch and Katrina Lenk.
