It's an excellent list. I would stick with it.

Personally I found On Your Feet to be one of the very best of all the jukebox musicals - people around me were a sobbing mess. But even if you're not moved, the performances and production values are superb.

I've heard at best tepid things about Allegiance. If there's something on your list you might want to get rid of it's probably Fool for Love - it's very good, but at 70 minutes it's hardly a full evening of bang for your buck. Yet if there's one show you're not seeing that should be on your list, it's not that but rather The Humans or Eclipsed = but it sounds like you'll be able to catch those when they move to Broadway in the spring.

Overall I would keep this as is, on the assumption that you can get back in the spring to see the spring shows.

Over full for love. But misery probably cost more for the tickets.

Well, I have seen Nina Arianda twice before, in apparently superior vehicles ... but I haven't seen Laurie Metcalf and I really do love her.

I'm feeling inclined at this point to drop Fool for Love and pop in Allegiance in its place--I'm at heart a musical theatre junkie, and hate to miss a new piece (although I didn't see The People in the Picture, so there's a precedent!)

I can absolutely go back in the spring (and generally stay twice as long, as there's so much more then).
