As the holiday season slowly creeps up on us all, New Yorkers and tourists can agree on one thing: there's nothing quite like a Broadway show.
That being said, we're bringing you a run down of our top Broadway picks for the rest of this year.
There's something for everybody on this hit list, from tragedy to comedy and every variant in between.
So what are you doing for the rest of 2015? Be sure to cross these 9 shows off your 2015 Broadway bucket list.
Trust us, you won't regret it splurging on these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
1. Chicago (Ambassador Theatre - 219 West 49th Street)
chicagomusical Someone send @ColbertLateShow to the stand! We spy a #copycat! Who's the real Roxie? @ChicagoMusical or @StephenColbert? #stephencolbert #LSSC
Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, Chicago is a Broadway must-see.
Part of the fervor has to do with our generation's obsession with the Prohibition era. So go catch a show and then check out some of NYC's speakeasies.
2. Allegiance (Longacre Theatre - 220 West 48th Street)

This Asian history play is former Star Trek actor and notable social media activist George Takei's Broadway debut, and the theatre world is pretty stoked about it.
The show is about life as a Japanese-American after Pearl Harbor, and is influenced by Takei's first hand experiences growing up in tense conditions.
3. Phantom of the Opera (Majestic Theatre - 245 West 44th Street)
phantombway The late #SteveBarton (original Raoul), #HalPrince (director), #MichaelCrawford (original Phantom), Lord #AndrewLloydWebber (composer), #SarahBrightman (original Christine) and the company takes a bow after#PhantomBroadway's splendid #openingnight. #TBT #ALW #curtaincall
There are few things in the world of musicals more quintessential than Andrew Lloyd Weber's Phantom of the Opera score, and now you can catch it in all its glory at the Majestic Theatre.
In case you've never seen it on stage, and missed the cartoon version that scared the pants off of every kid, it's about a tragically-disfigured opera lurker with a serious crush.
4. The Gin Game (John Golden Theatre - 252 West 45th Street)
gingamebroadway Two #legends of stage and screen come together for a critically-acclaimed production of #TheGinGame. #JamesEarlJones #CicelyTyson #Broadway #Broadwayplay #newyorktimes
Tony-Award winning James Earl Jones, best known as the voice of Darth Vader and some Arby's commercials, co-stars alongside fellow Tony-winner Cicely Tyson in D.L. Coburn's 1976 Pulitzer Prize winning play, The Gin Game.
It tracks the growing tension between folks playing gun rummy in a nursing home, and is way more enthralling than a game of cards between the elderly may seem.
Don't take our word for it; go see the show!
5. Something Rotten (St. James Theatre - 246 West 44th Street)
Something Rotten follows the action of two brothers in 1590 trying to become famous playwrights, but they're plagued by that guy nobody's ever heard of, William Shakespeare.
Get your spoof on and laugh the night away at the expense of perhaps the highest praised writer of all time.
,6. Finding Neverland (Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - 205 West 46th Street)
Following the story of how Peter Pan was written, this incantation of Finding Neverland features Kelsey Grammer and Matthew Morrison.
It's pretty much a no brainer: do you adore Peter Pan and want to see it from a new perspective on stage instead of Disney VHS?
Well what are you waiting for? Go see it-- you know, before you grow up and all that not-so-fun stuff.
7. Kinky Boots (Al Hirschfeld Theatre - 302 West 45th Street)
Here's what you need to know: there's music by Cindi Lauper and it's won six Tony awards. Plot line? Who cares? (Ok, well, it's about footwear.)
Imagine a foxy cabaret lady gets wrapped up in a shoe factory, what could go right? Nope; what could go wrong? See for yourself!
8. A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (Walter Kerr Theatre - 219 West 48th Street)
musicaltheatrelovers NEWS: A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder will close January 17 2016. #agentlemansguidetoloveandmurder #GGLAM #broadway #musicals
What better way to ensure your inheritance than to knock off everyone who may have a claim to it, while remaining stylin' and classy? There is none.
Follow Monty Navarro down the rabbit hole of hilarity and mortal sins as he does just that.
9. Imbible (Huron Club - 15 Vandam Street)
Usually, theatre is backed by an orchestra, but not this time around.
With support from acapella group The Backwaiters, Imbible tracks the history of alcohol over 10,000 years landing right in Prohibition-era New York City.
