Once
|
|
|
Audiences didn’t fall slowly for New York Theatre Workshop’s adaptation of the much-loved indie film Once. Despite mixed notices, crowds fell quickly, and they fell hard. The Broadway transfer continues this fine romance, as it includes the original cast and songs in this tale of a... More >> |

'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 >> |

'Jazz Night'
|
|
|
This weekly jazz jam at the newly expanded Spike Hill bar in Williamsburg is as raucous as anything else on its stretch of Bedford.

The Big Knife

Charlie Castle in Clifford Odets’s The Big Knife would seem to have it all—a successful Hollywood acting career, a big house, and a beautiful wife. But all is not well. His wife (Marin Ireland) is threatening to leave him, the almighty studio bosses own him, and a starlet is poised... 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 >> |

The Awesome '80s Prom
|
|
|
Though I was born too late to enjoy an '80s prom myself, I may once have actively requested Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" at a junior high semiformal. Conversely, this interactive show aims to give nostalgia musicals a good name when it invites audiences to drink, dance, and vote for... 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 >> |

Slavic Soul Party!
|
|
|
Slavic Soul Party are Eastern Europe's answer to the funk (and "Grunt") of the J.B.'s or, more recently, the Budos Band. On their recordings, and every Tuesday at Barbès, the 10-person brass ensemble pins Gypsy melodies against the sort of jazzy r&b horn collages you hear in movies... More >> |

Chicha Libre

In addition to being a popular alcoholic beverage, "chicha" also signifies the psychedelic style of cumbia fermented in Peru's Amazonian rainforests during the '70s.

Pippin

They’ve got magic to do, just for you. Also tumbling, contortion, acrobatics, trapeze, and silk work. In Diane Paulus’s reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’s echt-‘70s musical, young Pippin (Matthew James Thomas) wanders around a medieval French landscape that looks a lot... More >> |

Zelda at the Oasis

Zelda Fitzgerald may have enjoyed the occasional drink. It’s hard to imagine that America’s first flapper bathed in all those fountains sober. In this play, she steps into an extraordinary nightspot, The Club Oasis, and with the help of a piano man and several cocktails begins to... More >> |

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
|
|
|
Not every playwright can compose a shockingly funny paean to the joys of stamp-licking. Then again, not every playwright is Chris Durang.
