You might struggle with getting Cursed Child tickets. Looks like a great selection (Have you already seen Hello Dolly and Come From Away?)

Frozen will inevitably come over here so personally I'd see something else in that slot.

Two words. Bernadette. Peters. yes yes yes I really do not want to see Hello Dolly. I am not really familiar with Ms Peters. Yes I saw bootleg of Sunday in the Park With George. I know she got the tony of Annie Get but not familiar with her. Other than she got a Tony for Song and Dance And Annie |

She has, what I think, is one of the best lines in ANY movie. The Jerk with Steve Martin
"i'm not upset about losing the money, it's losing all the stuff". Only she could have made that so memorable.
But besides that, she is just incredible. Her voice, her acting, everything.

Honestly, I think you'd be really missing out not seeing Come From Away! I caught a matinee of it in April! I laughed and cried. I still am!
PS it runs for just over 90 minutes so it's easy enough to fit into a busy day!
Hope you're enjoying trip planning.

Cursed Child is going to Aus, and it will take a hefty whack out of your holiday budget and schedule, due to the two parts. |

I mean obviously I'm voting for Angels in America *cough everyone else is better than Lane in it cough*
But I'd say if it's that or Cursed Child do Angels, Potter is going to Aus and it's the spectacle of the thing rather than the cast that really are the draw (Parker and co are great don't get me wrong but I'd say it's just as good without). Angels is indeed pure art, and you won't see a cast like that assembled often, yes even Lane. (I'm being mean, I love him in my own way).
I'd also say Come Fro Away is a gem you shouldn't miss. Evan Hansen I haven't seen but I think it's well worth seeing.
Do you like immersive theatre? if so I'd suggest Sleep No More, Punchdrunk is an experience you won't get in Australia.
Also check out venues like Joe's Pub and 54 Bellow for concerts with Broadway stars, those are always fun.

Other than she got a Tony for Song and Dance And Annie She's a legend! And 'Hello, Dolly!' is such a smashing show, real old fashioned true Broadway magic. |

I guess she brings lots of 'colour and light' to her performance

If by "colour and light" you mean incredible talent and presence then, yes

Even if you're not seeing it for her, it's a magnificent production. I saw it with Donna Murphy as Dolly and had a great time — everyone in that cast is fantastic and it's just a really fun couple of hours. I have full faith that the newcomers will be wonderful. |
