I've struggled to find a top 5, but
1) second time at Old Friends
2) Standing At the Sky's Edge
3) Frankenstein (Northampton Royal Theatre)
4) Trainspotting Live (Edinburgh Fringe - I had seen it originally back in 2016)
5) Opening Night

Best was Twelfth Night at The Orange Tree

I also really enjoyed the revival of The Silver Cord at The Finborough

Smell it. Touch it. Kiss it. Kiss it! It's the mother lode...

I've still got 2 shows to see but know they won't make the top 5, so here goes.
In no particular order

2 strangers carry a cake across New York
Hello Dolly
Avenue Q concert
Something Rotten concert
Pippin concert.

It was definitely the year of concerts for me and if it was a top 10 poll then a few more would be there.
And if I had to pick a number 1 from my top 5 then Something Rotten would win as it was the best thing, by far, I've seen this year.
