Who's Your Daddy?
|
|
A few years ago, Johnny O’Callaghan, an unemployed queer actor, decided he had to adopt a Ugandan orphan named Odin. Then he created a one-man show about it, which he now brings to the Irish Rep. He takes a spirited spin on questions of sexuality, parenting, and unlikely forms of family. More >> |

The Nance
|
|
Nathan Lane may number among the most talented of our stage entertainers, but not perhaps the most masculine. This makes him an ideal star for Douglas Carter Beane’s new play, about the world of 1930s burlesque and the men and women called upon to play gay in service of comedy. Jack... More >> |

Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity
|
|
Claude Monet may be best known as a master of Impressionism, but he could also be considered as one of the first style bloggers ever. Really! His paintings, such as Women in the Garden and Luncheon on the Grass, documented a revolutionary time for clothing. The Metropolitan Museum of... More >> |

Tim Berne's Snakeoil
|
|
Released last year and titled after his new quartet, the composer-saxophonist's first studio album in an unbelievable eight years (on ECM, surprisingly) suggested a set of controlled experiments in carefully calibrated emotional and musical extremes. Oscar Noriega (clarinets), Matt Mitchell... More >> |

Kinky Boots
|
|
Some of us have quite enough trouble simply walking in six-inch stilettos. But to sing and dance and act in them? Really, someone should hand out honorary Tonys to the Kinky Boots cast just for trying. This new tuner draws its inspiration from a recent British film, itself based... More >> |

Collapse
|
|
You can’t fault Allison Moore for originality. Few playwrights would consider a deadly bridge collapse and post-traumatic stress disorder as the spark for a comedy, but that’s just what she’s done. In this Women’s Project production, directed by Jackson Gay, Hannah must... More >> |

Harvey Kurtzman
|
|
If you’ve laughed anytime in the past 50 years, you owe Harvey Kurtzman some thanks. Triple-threat Kurtzman (writer, editor, cartoonist) and publisher William Gaines created Mad magazine in 1952, and Kurtzman’s bloody-knuckle satire inspired everyone from R. Crumb to Terry Gilliam... More >> |

Bunty Berman Presents...
|
|
The New Group has been enjoying a rather lackluster season, but what better show to shake a company out of its doldrums than a musical that borrows Bollywood’s razzle dazzle. The first-rate Ayub Khan Din’s new work tells of a flailing film studio and the producer struggling to keep... More >> |

Please Come to the Show, Part I (1960-1980)
|
|
The walls of our cubicles at the Voice are covered with art show announcements. Why? Because each one is a beautiful souvenir. The Museum of Modern Art totally gets us. David Senior, the MOMA’s bibliographer, has organized “Please Come to the Show, Part I (1960–1980),”... More >> |

El Anatsui
|
|
For years, the Nigerian artist El Anatsui was highly regarded for his abstract wood sculptures. But he didn’t really receive the acclaim he deserved in the mainstream until he showed his elegant metal tapestries made from flattened aluminum bottle tops at the Venice Biennale in 2007.... More >> |

Hit the Wall
|
|
|
In the early morning of June 28, 1969, what was going to be just another police raid on the underground gay bar the Stonewall Inn turned into the pivotal event for the modern gay-rights movement.

'Scott Siegel's Broadway Ballyhoo'
|
|
|
Once upon a time, you could find a Manhattan cabaret late show just about every night. Now, if it’s not Friday or Saturday, you’re mostly out of luck, but every Thursday this ubiquitous impresario invites various performers to get up and do what they do so well at an hour that at... More >> |

Peter and the Starcatcher
|
|
|
Most boys have to grow up and most Broadway shows have to close. But just as Peter Pan managed to maintain eternal youth, this play, a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s story, has found a way to continue on, just down the block from Broadway at New World Stages. Alex Timbers and Roger Rees remount... More >> |

Buyer & Cellar
|
|
|
Following a long-running TV show and some successful stage stints, actor Michael Urie no longer needs to suffer demeaning day jobs. But perhaps he can draw on earlier experience to enact a struggling thesp. In Jonathan Tolins’s comedy, Urie plays Alex More, an unlucky actor employed by a... More >> |

Here Lies Love
|
|
|
If the shoe-obsessed Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos were able to attend David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s new musical about her life titled Here Lies Love, she’d probably wear fancy high heels for the occasion. But, for the rest of us, comfortable footwear will be more practical as... More >> |

The Testament of Mary
|
|
|
Mary doesn’t speak much in the gospels. A question at the annunciation, a polite request at Cana. Isn’t it time she had a few more lines? Novelist and playwright Colm Tóibín obliges, supplying a monologue for the queen of heaven (the regal Fiona Shaw) that allows her... More >> |

Barbara Cook
|
|
|
Her voice may be a darkened silver now that she’s comfortably in her eighties, but her acting chops haven’t faltered: If anything, Cook is better than ever. Having lost her last home, Feinstein’s at Loews Regency, she brings one of Broadway’s brightest resumés to... More >> |

La Ruta
|
|
|
Working Theater keeps on truckin’. Literally. With his new play, La Ruta, Ed Cardona Jr. follows a group of immigrants as they make a risky attempt to steal across the U.S. border. In the service of verisimilitude (or to avoid those pesky theater rental fees), director Tamilla Woodard... More >> |
