Musicals aren't theatre. They're a disgusting abomination of a beautiful concept. People who call musicals theatre are the same people who think wine in a box is high concept. Is it wine? Sure. But is it good wine? Fuck no.
Do yourself a favour if you're in NYC, go see Stoppard, not Gilbert and Sullivan.

Gilbert & Sullivan are classics. Pirates of Penzance? Pretty much gold. I think anything in the Andrew Lloyd Webber catalogue or those riffing off him (Les Mis, Rent) would be a much better target for your derision.
Anyway, nutty, I would recommend checking out some of the local NY blogs websites, particularly
Gothamist and
New York Magazine. The local section of the NY Times is also good. Try to find something going on that'll make your trip a little unique -- there's so much happening in NYC that it should be pretty easy.
Good luck and post pictures.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
