With the Broadway season getting especially busy, we’re here to offer monthly help on what you should see in New York. Here, the New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood offers a look at two adventurous new musicals soon to open and a revival he calls pretty much “perfect.” There’s more: a chance to see Sutton Foster kick up her heels, and a bold take on Shakespeare’s history plays.

FALSETTOS [Read the review] If you haven’t yet seen this moving, magical revival of William Finn and James Lapine’s 1992 chamber musical about an unorthodox family, by all means try to beat the holiday crowds and grab a ticket now. The flawless cast is led by Christian Borle and Andrew Rannells as the loving and warring couple Marvin and Whizzer; and Stephanie J. Block is Marvin’s ex-wife, Trina, with whom they have maintained a cordial if tense relationship. But I can’t leave out the superb Anthony Rosenthal, as Marvin and Trina’s son, or for that matter Brandon Uranowitz as the family psychiatrist, who’s just as neurotic — and charming, and lovable — as the rest. A revival this impeccably revivified will be hard to beat this Broadway season.
