If you’ve ever gone to see a show in New York City, you know how incredibly expensive tickets can be. It doesn’t matter if the show is on or off Broadway, the price of a good seat is a luxury many cannot afford.

However, not every single show sells tickets for over a thousand dollars, and if it is closing, chances are good that tickets will be cheap. You don’t need to see Hamilton or Wicked in order to see a phenomenal show. Here are the top five Broadway shows to see before they close:

5. Jersey Boys

After a highly successful 11-year run, Jersey Boys will close on Jan. 15^th, 2017. Presented in the style of a documentary, the show follows the story of Frankie Valli and the 1960’s Rock ‘n’ Roll group “Four Seasons.”

The show is broken up into four different seasons, each one narrated by a different member of the group. They talk about the lessons they learned in their childhood home, New Jersey, and how these morals helped them through the challenges they each faced throughout life.

Featuring popular songs by the Four Seasons such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Rag Doll”, Jersey Boys holds the 2006 Tony Award for Best Musical, and has delighted audiences since it opened at the August Wilson Theatre over a decade ago. Tix: $43-$175+

4. Fiddler on the Roof

This timeless classic was welcomed back to Broadway with enthusiasm, and will dim its lights on December 31^st, 2016. Nominated for three Tony-awards including the 2016 Best Revival of a Musical, Fiddler on the Roof is a feel-good story of love, life, and family.

Set in Russia in 1905, the plot focuses on Tevye, the father of five daughters. As he faces the desires of his three eldest daughters to marry for love instead of duty, and the eviction of Jews from his village, Tevye struggles to retain his Jewish religion and culture.

Fiddler was the first musical in history to reach 3,000 performances, and is a fun and heartwarming story for the whole family. Tix: $35-$107

3. Holiday Inn

Irving Berlin’s classic tale opened on September 1^st, 2016 for a limited run at the Roundabout’s Studio 54, and will close on January 15^th, 2017.

Featuring High School Musical star Corbin Bleu and Tony-award nominee Bryce Pinkham, Holiday Inn tells the story of two performers who plan to run away and open a country inn together. After Lila falls in love with one of the dancers in the troupe (Ted), Jim leaves broken-hearted to open the hotel on his own. He ends up falling in love with one of the live performers at the inn, Linda.

The trouble begins when Ted shows up at the inn to perform, having been dumped by Lila, and decides he wants Linda as well. Based on the 1942 comedy starring Fred Astaire, Holiday Inn is the perfect show to see this holiday season. It’s all blue skies before January 15^th! Tix: $67-$92

2. Matilda the Musical

Matilda the Musical was met with smashing success on Broadway, having been nominated for a total of thirteen Tony Awards (and winning five of them).

Based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl, Matilda the Musical centers on the child genius Matilda, and the obstacles she faces both at home and at school. Throughout the course of the show, the young protagonist must put up with the idiocies of her parents, and the outrageously terrible treatment of her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.

With the help of newfound friends like the gentle Miss Honey, Matilda learns to stand up for herself and those around her, and even teaches a few lessons along the way. Matilda the Musical is a must-see for the whole family, and will end its three year run at the Shubert Theater on January 1^st, 2017. Tix: $39-$109

1. Something Rotten

Topping off the list is the original new comedy Something Rotten, which closes its run at the St. James Theater on January 1^st, 2017. This hilarious musical re-imagines the creation of the greatest plays in history, and follows the Bottom brothers on their quest to write the next great play.

When the eldest receives some misguided advice from a soothsayer, a quirky and unheard of form of theater is born: the musical. An increasingly disastrous series of events ensues, involving a forbidden romance, a scheming and burned out William Shakespeare, and the opening of an outrageously terrible new show about eggs.

Something Rotten was met with critical acclaim, and is currently starring Philadelphia resident Rob McClure.

For the more die-hard musical theater fans, an especially exciting experience awaits: Adam Pascal, who was Tony-nominated for his performance as Roger in the original company of Rent, joins the cast as William Shakespeare on November 7^th.

Something Rotten combines a myriad of Shakespeare and musical theater references to create a truly hysterical show that has kept audiences rolling in the aisles for the entirety of its run. Tix: $45-$109
