Now you've got me. Looks like the things I would recommend will be closed by
August. "Water for Elephants" and "Illinoise" got very good reviews, but
neither was to my taste. The latest entry in the "Forbidden Broadway" series
opens in August, but probably depends on an awareness of what's playing.
"Hadestown" was very good, but depends on one's taste for sort-of bluesy rock.
My wife enjoyed "Six," which is light and frothy. "Stereophonic" is great, but
3 hours and 20 minutes (though it doesn't seem that long). It's a play, but
there's a lot of music in it. (It's set in the 70s and is about a Fleetwood
Mac-like band trying to record their new album.) I have no interest in "Once
Upon a Mattress," but it got good enough reviews to transfer from Encores to
the Hudson, and when cast like this, Sutton Foster is entertaining.
Doubtless, something else will come along by then.

show. What are a couple at top of your list?

Unfortunately, they'll also have writers, when the most entertaining part of
the strike-bound shows were introductions and speeches without the strained
banter.
I've made my distaste for competitive arts award shows known here, but I must
say that the Tonys gets it right more often than not, and this has been a
particularly good year on Broadway, "Hell's Kitchen" notwithstanding.

After the strikes pushed them way uptown to that
artistically-heavy-but-virtually-parking-free joint uptown, they're back to a
place more familiar to the Broadway industry, the Koch Theater at Lincoln
Center, which sadly does not have a wall that comes down between production
numbers and awards, making any transitions transparent to the audience... THR
talks with producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss about
it...https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/tonys-producers-show-stereophonic-1235919959/
