Bruce Springsteen in Springsteen on Broadway

Rob DeMartin

Tickets to see The Boss will set you back a pretty penny, but they're worth it to hear him tell stories and perform hits in the 939-seat Walter Kerr Theater. Springsteen's heartbreaking, hilarious, and political show earned an A- from EW.

Tony Shalhoub in The Band's Visit

Matthew Murphy

Shalhoub (Monk) stars in this adaptation of Eran Kolirin's 2007 film of the same name. "This is a play about waiting, and loneliness, and the human need to connect with another human," EW's Dana Schwartz writes in her A- review of the show.

Bette Midler in Hello, Dolly!

Julieta Cervantes

"This show belongs to the Divine Miss M.,” EW’s Maya Stanton writes in her straight-A review of the revival. “It’s a performance only a diva could give.” If you need further convincing: Midler won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for this part.

John Leguizamo in Latin History For Morons

Joan Marcus

The Bloodline star delivers a wonderful performance with plenty of emotional weight in this one-man show which, EW's David Canfield notes in his review, "features the performer as a version of himself, revising the way American history is typically taught to elevate the heroes of his own ethnic background, and to give his son the chance to feel pride in where and what he comes from."

Jason Alexander in The Portuguese Kid

Richard Termine

Alexander's character in John Patrick Shanley's Off-Broadway play has his life a bit more together than his Seinfeld character George Costanza did — but not by much.

Jason Mraz in Waitress

Joan Marcus

The singer recently joined the delicious Broadway hit as Dr. Pomatter — but it's not his first experience with Sara Bareilles's material. When Waitress composer Bareilles recorded her own album of the songs, What's Inside: Songs from Waitress, Mraz joined her on the duets "Bad Idea" and "You Matter to Me."

Clive Owen in M. Butterfly

Matthew Murphy

Owen, as EW's Allison Adato writes in her review, "brings London stage chops and matinee idol polish" to his role as Rene Gallimard, a French diplomat ruined by a complicated affair with a Chinese opera singer (and, it turns out, a spy) in this revival of David Henry Hwang's play — with a script updated by the playwright himself.
