With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
“Home” and “The Who’s Tommy”
Catch them before they close up shop this weekend: the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of “Home” and “The Who’s Tommy.” In “Home,” the optimistic Cephus Miles, played by TV star Tory Kittles from “The Equalizer,” yearns for a place to belong. In “The Who’s Tommy,” the Who’s iconic 1969 album comes to life courtesy of Tony-Winning Director Des McAnuff. Both are set to play their final performances on Sunday.

For off-Broadway, Tony winning actor and master clown Bill Irwin explores the late great Samuel Beckett in “On Beckett” at The Irish Rep. In the show, Irwin tackles the many layers of the Irish born writer, including “Waiting for Godot.” “On Beckett” is playing through Aug. 4.
