The Great Gatsby ensemble in evening dress on a glittering party set

Broadway Theatre, Manhattan

04 / A glamorous literary adaptation

The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story becomes a musical about Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan and the distance between an imagined life and reality. Wealth, longing and social status drive the drama. You can choose the musical without treating it as a lesson on the novel, but knowing the central relationships helps you settle into the story.

Broadway musicalExplore & compare

A performer in a bright pink costume on the & Juliet stage

Stephen Sondheim Theatre, Manhattan

05 / Pop music and a lively group night

& Juliet

& Juliet imagines a different future for Juliet after Romeo, using familiar pop songs to tell a new story. It is a contemporary musical comedy built around a second chance, rather than a conventional production of Shakespeare’s tragedy.

Broadway musicalExplore & compare

Two Maybe Happy Ending performers reaching towards each other

Belasco Theatre, Manhattan

06 / A shorter musical and an original story

Maybe Happy Ending

Oliver and Claire meet after living isolated lives and discover an unexpected connection. The musical uses an unusual premise to explore companionship and the possibility of love. It offers a different starting point from a familiar film adaptation or a night built around well-known pop songs.

Broadway musicalExplore & compare

A Harry Potter and the Cursed Child performer raising a wand amid stage mist

Lyric Theatre, Manhattan

07 / Wizarding-world fans and a play with theatrical effects

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

It is a play, rather than a sung musical. The story returns to Harry, Ron and Hermione in a later chapter of their lives, with a new generation joining the adventure. The distinction matters if your party is specifically hoping for a musical evening.

Broadway playExplore & compare

The Book of Mormon ensemble performing before a painted city backdrop

Eugene O’Neill Theatre, Manhattan

08 / Adult comedy and an irreverent musical night

The Book of Mormon

The story follows two mismatched Mormon missionaries sent far from home. Its appeal is irreverent comedy, with explicit language and jokes about belief and human behaviour. It is worth choosing for that particular tone, rather than simply for a famous Broadway title.

Broadway musicalExplore & compare

The Outsiders performers on an industrial-style stage set

Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, Manhattan

09 / Literary drama and an emotionally intense musical

The Outsiders

The Outsiders brings a coming-of-age story to the musical stage. Put it on your shortlist if you are drawn to younger characters, belonging and dramatic conflict. Its literary background can be a starting point for discussion, but the experience should be chosen as theatre in its own right.
