BroadwayTony winner

The show nobody saw coming became the most-awarded musical of its season, and it holds up to the hype: a two-hander about obsolete robots that's really about loneliness, memory and choosing love when you know how it ends. The stagecraft is jewel-box precise, the score swings, and at under two hours with no intermission it's the most efficient heartbreak on Broadway. If you want the 'best new musical' box checked with a story that isn't a brand extension, this is it.

What to expect

An intimate 100-minute one-act in one of Broadway's most beautiful houses. It's quiet, funny and devastating in turn — audiences skew date-night and theater-obsessive, and yes, people audibly cry. Saturday matinee and evening shows.

Good to know

The Belasco is on 44th east of Broadway — closest trains at 42 St
100 minutes, no intermission — a perfect pre-dinner matinee
Widely considered the toughest emotional gut-punch currently on Broadway (in a good way)
Lottery and rush tickets are popular — enter early
Fine for ages ~10+; nothing objectionable, but it's a quiet, talky show
