NYC STAGE BY JOE DZIEMIANOW­ICZ

-

1 “Newsies” chorus guys (Nederlande­r Theatre) Everyone in the dance ensemble get his own bow. Classy. The pirouettin­g powerhouse­s deserve it.

2 “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers.” (Broadhurst Theatre) One of the theater’s most indelible lines, courtesy of Tennessee Williams’ “Streetcar Named Desire.” Begins Tuesday.

3 “Superstar” (Neil Simon Theatre) The smart overthe-top number from “Jesus Christ Superstar” elevates everything about the show.

4 “Heart” (Paper Mill Playhouse) The harmonies on this great number from “Damn Yankees” are blended silky smooth. Through April 1.

5 “Smash” live (various venues) Christian Borle acts up as a campy villain in “Peter and the Starcatche­r,” while Will Chase sings in “Pipe Dream.” Through April 1.

6 “Silence! The Musical” (PS 122) Lovably lewd, and now extended through Sept. 2.

7 George and Ira Gershwin. The brilliant brother songwriter­s on Broadway now in “Porgy and Bess” (Richard Rodgers Theatre) and “Nice Work If You Can Get It” (Imperial Theatre). In a word: S’wonderful.

8 Angela Lansbury (Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre) Her latest show, “The Best Man,” opens April 1; it’s her 14th Broadway opening. Keep ’em coming.

9 “Star Quality: Coward & Co.” (Seelen Theatre at the Drama Book Shop) Edward Hibbert, Dana Ivey and Steve Ross covers scenes, songs, verses, more on Thursday at 4 p.m.

10 “Clybourne Park” (Walter Kerr Theatre) Back on the boards with the finetuned original cast.
