Every performance of Every Brilliant Thing is a unique experience. Driven by plenty of audience interaction, each show is centered around a solo actor's list of reasons to stay alive.

If you’re looking for a show to see alone that will make you feel part of a whole, this show will do just that. Oh, and did we mention you might get to share the stage with Mariska Hargitay (from May 26 to July 5) or Tracee Ellis Ross (from July 7 to August 9)?

Sometimes, it’s freeing to see a work of art that makes you cry. Seeing it alone is even more freeing. At the beginning of Hadestown, Hermes tells the audience that the story ahead, a retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is a tragic tale. Yet, there’s comfort in hearing the story collectively. It feels like you’re part of the young lovers' tale because everyone can relate to its themes: doubt, desperation, and hope. And no one will blame you if you shed a few tears at the end.

While crying solo at a Broadway show is a transformative experience, so is belly laughing. At Titanique, you’ll be cracking up as Céline Dion herself (okay, an actress playing her) takes you through the story of Jack and Rose on the Titanic. But this isn’t James Cameron's version — this is Céline's version, and it’s even more outrageous than you'd expect. Set to hits like “My Heart Will Go On” and “All By Myself” interspersed throughout the show, Titanique is a practically guaranteed good time — even all by yourself.

There’s nothing like a feel-good jukebox musical to lift your spirits. If you need a break from the world and want a show that will pump you up, & Juliet is the perfect fit. Using hits from the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and more, the show questions what would happen if Shakespeare's Juliet lived, while giving voice to to the Bard's wife, Anne Hathaway. Be like Juliet and find your independence — we're confident this celebratory musical will make a great solo day.

Sometimes, a solo show calls for thoughtful reflection about big ideas in life, and Proof is just that. Starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle, this revival of the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play centers around grief, family trauma, sexism, and mental illness. It follows the daughter of an esteemed but mentally ill mathematician as she deals with the fallout of his death. You'll get a deep look inside the character’s own hazy sense of reality, and Proof will leave you thinking long after you leave.

Six feels like a party with your closest pals — well, if your closest pals were Henry VIII’s ex-wives reunited in concert. The musical follows some of the most famous women in history, telling their stories from their own perspective rather than the history books that keep the British king as the central figure. It’s a perfect show to see solo because of its infectious high-energy performances and the heartwarming themes of independence and sisterhood at its core.

Both characters in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) are on their own internal journeys — and it isn’t until they learn to trust each other that they let go of some of the burden. Earnest Brit Dougal arrives in NYC to attend his estranged father’s wedding, and skeptical Robin, the sister of the bride, is his polar opposite.

This feel-good musical is the perfect way to spend a solo afternoon or evening — it will leave you excited to embark on an NYC adventure of your own, even if you already call the city home.

It’s a show about love and human connection, and it’s perfect for the solo Broadway-goer who may want to feel a little less alone.
