Wow, I was not expecting to attend a show featuring TikTok dancers and end up in tears by the end of it. This was an incredibly moving show that had me laughing and cheering the entire way through. The energy from the dancers was contagious, and it genuinely felt like a party. The show is about the hour leading up to midnight on New Year’s eve and features a resolution and solo performance from each character, but is mainly centered around the relationship of the two leads. The way they use foley with movement in this show is genius, and so enjoyable and satisfying to watch. It’s incredible how many emotions can be expressed with so little dialogue. The actor’s bodies told the whole story. I would highly recommend going to see this! I practically danced the whole way home. Read more

This is a brilliantly clear and concise Titus. For those who hate Shakespeare because they can’t figure out what’s going on, there’s no worry of that here! The cast is strong, and is led by a spectacularly thrilling Patrick Page. The direction is sharp and modern, and offers a surprising amount of humor in this dark tale. This is one of the best Shakespearean productions I’ve seen — kudos to Red Bull Theater for knocking two in a row out of the park (the other being “Richard II”). Be warned — you have to be okay with a LOT of violence and blood. Read more

Cats the musical gets a lot of hate, but the Jellicle Ball deserves all the love. This show is layered with passion, artistry, history, and storytelling that feels far more magical than Mr. Mistoffelees. First and foremost, this is a party so wear your glitter, bring your fan, and be ready to dance. But beyond that, this show is a powerful tribute to ballroom culture, with the legends who have shaped so much of the culture we see today on the stage right in front of you. There’s an overwhelming sense of beauty and joy, as you rethink the show as so much deeper than some dancing humans in cat costumes. It’s an expression of identity, community, happiness, and rebirth. For Broadway loyalists the songs remain, with added dance interludes and a modern edge. The choreography is everything, especially with André De Shields continuing to prove that he is, in every sense, a legend. Read more

After shivering with antici…pation, I’m thrilled to report The Rocky Horror Show is back on Broadway and better than ever. This production has a delightfully classic feel, delivering the healthy dose of nostalgia many fans are hoping for. With that said, Director Sam Pinkleton has truly made it his own by assembling a stellar cast and creative team. Luke Evans is giving everything he has to the role of Frank-N-Furter. The result is a sultry, quick-witted, powerhouse that leads the show seamlessly. Andrew Durand and Stephanie Hsu are perfectly paired as Brad and Janet. Harvey Guillén is a frequent scene-steeler as both Eddie and Dr. Scott. The four phenomenal Phantoms played by Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Larkin Reilly and Paul Soileau bring the show to a new level as they flail around the stage like deranged Muppets. Yet, the true standout of this production is Amber Gray as Riff Raff. The iconic role originated by the show’s creator, Richard O’Brein feels brand new with Gray at the helm. From her raspy yet powerful vocals, to her deadpan mannerisms, it feels as if Riff Raff has been waiting over fifty years just for Gray to find him. I could go on and on about all there is to enjoy about this revival. It is a true love letter to queer culture that our world could certainly use more of. Anyone looking for a wild night out will feel right at home at Studio 54. So, sit back, relax and “give yourself over to absolute pleasure.” Read more

Normally, a play built around a single character narrating their past in long, detailed monologues (especially with an accent or heightened character bits) is exactly the kind of thing that loses me. And yet, that’s precisely what Adrien Brody delivers in Fear of 13, and I was completely enthralled. More than once during the hour and fifty minutes, I found myself thinking, “Oh right—this is why he has two Oscars.” The man can act. The man can make you feel. With a different lead, I suspect I’d rather read this story as a novel. There are moments throughout where the dialogue could be tighter, but when you have a talent like Brody, it makes sense to let him build the drama and earn what feels like an inevitable Tony nomination. The story, inspired by the real-life case of Nick Yarris, follows an innocent man on death row. It’s the kind of narrative that has you hearing audience members whisper, “Wait… that can’t be real.” (I was that audience member.) I won’t spoil it, but it’s a journey that makes you laugh, cry, squirm, and question everything. And if it didn’t, would it really be Tony-worthy Broadway via the West End? The supporting cast holds their own. It’s hard to believe this is Tessa Thompson’s Broadway debut. She’s completely natural in a very complex role. I don’t quite buy her as deeply in love with Brody’s character, but their mutual intrigue and chemistry are undeniable. And Ephraim Sykes? I could listen to him all day—I just wish the role gave him a bit more to do. All said, in a season of powerhouse plays right now, don’t skip on this one. Read more
📍Playwrights Horizons
😐 Mixed Feelings from Sandy
@SandyG | Theater artist, educator, lover, human.
I have tremendous respect for them as a playwright and a satirist and the performers were good performers. I just think I’m frustrated that this is the closest thing we’re getting to a musical out of Playwrights right now (probably because one piano and three actors is low budget compared to most musicals, but I think musical theater is worth investing in!) I get that it was a silly and at times clever send up of the art form and there’s a lot to mock And it wasn’t punching down like most of the rest of the “satire” currently out there. but. My big complaint is the music of it all, and it’s a musical- it’s like if a gay millennial transplant took over forbidden Broadway (there were some cheeky references!) and insisted on writing the music themself with limited musical vocabulary. Yes it was meant to be pastiche but the quality was mismatched to what is otherwise fairly strong. It was ok for what it is but it leaves much to be desired. Read more
