August NYC Theatre Happenings

Have you been to any of the Third Rail Projects productions? Not sure If immersive performances are at all interesting to you, but Then She Fell out in Brooklyn was a wonderful evening. They are also starting a new one called Midsummer: a banquet in Union Square that we’re considering going to on our August trip. And we’ll probably also catch a show at the Comedy Cellar. But I’m mostly going to see Hadestown.

Also: on Weds (at noon?) there is the free b'way performances at Bryant Park (go early, bring sunscreen and a lunch)."

I second Fiddler in Yiddish.

And a correction-- The Broadway in Bryant Park concerts are on Thursday, not Wednesday. The concerts start at 12:30, but the sound check starts at 11:30 and there's a better chance to score freebies if you get there early. I got there at 11:45 today and they had already run out of t-shirts but i did get a popsicle.

Also, I'm not 100% certain, but I think the last concert is 8-8.

The Cher Show is running until the 18th. If you're familiar with her catalog throughout her career (though mainly the hits) I think it's a great time.

If you don't mind taking the L to Brooklyn, there's Company XIV's Queen of Hearts. It's not my favorite show they've done. Dance is less emphasized and it's more spectacle and production values. But if you have the patience for the variety of acts, there are some solid numbers.

I can't think of anything else that won't have already closed or has yet to open.
