SOME OF THE BEST THEATRE IN NEW YORK ISN'T EVEN ON BROADWAY!
You want to be a real patron of the arts? See something that will challenge your mind, impress your heart and spirit, and stir your soul? See things on-stage that are too risky for a 1000-person house? Or come across a play that might be the next "Avenue Q" or "Spring Awakening"?
THEN GO SEE AN OFF-BROADWAY SHOW WHILE THE BIG HOUSES ARE ON-STRIKE
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JUST A FEW OF THE FOLLOWING SHOWS I'VE RECENTLY SEEN...
"Richard III" at CSC, starring Michael Cumpstey. Absolutely exceptional acting, set, lighting, costumes and talent. Probably the best bit of Shakespeare currently staged in New York (I have my tickets for "Cymbeline" next month).
"Speech & Debate" at the Roundabout Black Box just extended their performances because of such high-demand and critical-success. It's one of the most current-scripts of the year, hilarious, touching, and an all-too-real reflection of today's cyber-youth.
The ink is still drying on Flaherty & Ahren's latest tuner, "The Glorious Ones," starring Marc Kudisch Lincoln Center.
"The Fantasticks" lives up to its name, afterall. Very organic, loving, enduring and delightful. Witty script, heartful staging and hello! Tom Jones anyone?
I'm definitely bias here, but "Tings Dey Happen" fresh from a multi-extended run in San Francisco is currently making a splash at the Culture Project, where it's also been super-extended. One-man playing over a dozen roles fresh from the lives of Africans and the realism of oil-politics.
AND SO MANY MORE! GO HAVE A REAL NIGHT-ON-THE-TOWN!
