1 week ago | theatrely.com | Joey Sims

“Is y’all ready…” asks a demon-clown named Lemon Pepper Wings, freshly spawned in anime cosplayer-garb from an empty swimming pool, “...for a mutha fuckin SHOW?” At this point in the script for Bowl EP, a wild, near-unclassifiable new work debuting at Vineyard Theatre (co-producing with National Black Theater, in association with The New Group), writer/director Nazareth Hassan predicts that an off-Broadway crowd likely won’t give Lemon Pepper Wings the enthusiastic reply she/he/they are...

2 weeks ago | theatrely.com | Andrew Martini

In the West African tradition, the griot is an oral historian. They are often musicians and poets, advisors to members of the royal family and keepers of the oral tradition. In Goddess, the thrilling and spell-binding new musical at the Public Theater with music and lyrics by Michael Thurber and a book by Saheem Ali (James Ijames is credited with additional book material), the ensemble is named The Griot Ensemble. And, oh, what a story they have to tell.

Worker Ants Build a Colony in A(U)NTS! - Review

3 weeks ago | theatrely.com | Douglas Corzine

Ants can’t tunnel into brick, but they still crawl in through the cracks in the mortar. That’s what happens in Zoë Geltman’s playful, energetic new play A(U)NTS!, now playing at the Brick in Williamsburg. Mixing workplace comedy with an insect extravaganza, this play looks to answer questions about gender, how biology shapes identity, and whether a collective can drown out the desires of the individual.

What I Saw Off-Broadway This Month - Reviews

Senior Critic Joey Sims has been busy catching up on theatre around town. His latest roundup of productions:LOBSTERAmong the sharpest and wittiest plays I’ve seen all year, Kallan Dana’s Lobster is an exhilarating treat. The premise is wonderful: self-serious high school student Nora (Cricket Brown, severe funny), in mourning following a break-up, recruits three unsuspecting students for a guerrilla production of Sam Shepard & Patti Smith’s coke-fueled absurdist work Cowboy Mouth.
Jackman and Beatty in a Minimally Staged, Maximally Potent SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES - Review

3 weeks ago | theatrely.com | Juan A. Ramirez |Juan Ramírez

It’s tempting to describe Hannah Moscovitch’s 2020 play, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, about a professor-student relationship, as a shifty game of cat and mouse, or any of the other seductive phrases typically assigned to stories of sexual imbalance. But the one-act, premiering in New York in a minimally staged, maximally potent production starring Hugh Jackman and Ella Beatty, is slipperier than that – less interested in the drama of the chase than in how it's processed and portrayed.

Let’s Hear It For the Bimbo: THE LAST BIMBO OF THE APOCALYPSE - Review

3 weeks ago | theatrely.com | Andrew Martini

Given the resurgence of low-rise jeans, Juicy Couture, and jelly sandals (among many other things) it’s safe to say what’s old is new again. The Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse may traffic in those Y2K aesthetics but there’s nothing old about this fresh and captivating new musical from the deliciously deranged minds of Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley, who brought us the now iconic and Pulitzer Prize nominated Circle Jerk.
