In no way am I going to be normal about this.

Lupita and Junior playing Viola and Sebastian?! Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Sir Andrew?! Daphne Rubin-Vega as Maria?! SANDRA OH as Olivia?! PETER FUCKING DINKLAGE AS MALVOLIO?!

And it's free. If you're in NYC between Aug. 7 & Sept. 14 you need to go. There's no excuse!

For Ali, it started with performing Shakespeare with his peers in Kenya, where he was born and raised. “It was malleable. It was playable. It was completely adaptable,” he said. “Coming to the States, Shakespeare is this other thing: mostly white people, very few people of color, and they speak a certain way.”

He began inviting playwrights to work on Shakespeare adaptations with him. “I was like, ‘I want someone whose profession it is to work on the language. And I can talk about the world and the concept.’”

'Fat Ham' is Smokin' Sumptuous in its Broadway Transfer

'Fat Ham' is a must-see laugh riot. Don't miss it.

(L to R): Marcel Spears, Billy Eugene Jones in Fat Ham (courtesy of Joan Marcus) What I enjoy most about seeing Fat Ham in its transfer from The Public Theatre (my review of the Public Theater production) to Broadway’s American Airlines Theatre, are the sardonic tropes which send up William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a Jacobean revenge tragedy, where privileged white royals end up slaughtering each…

New York City Center 2024/2025 Season:

Annual Gala Presentation

RAGTIME - Oct 30 – Nov 10, 2024

RAGTIME is a sweeping, powerful musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the turn of the 20th century.

This gala production is led by Tony-nominated Encores! Artistic Director Lear deBessonet and features Joshua Henry (Coalhouse Walker Jr.), Caissie Levy (Mother), and Brandon Uranowitz (Tateh).

Encores!

URINETOWN - Feb 5 – 16, 2025

In this side-splitting satire directed by Teddy Bergman (KPOP), a young hero fights to create change in a dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer. This three-time Tony-winning musical by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis breaks the fourth wall to examine humanity’s darkest dilemmas, all while being “audacious and exhilarating” (The New York Times).

LOVE LIFE - Mar 26 – 30, 2025

LOVE LIFE the only collaboration between Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner, depicts a love story that takes place over 200 years of American history, through the eyes of a family who never ages. This rarely staged production directed by Tony winner Victoria Clark (KIMBERLY AKIMBO) is considered by some to be the first concept musical, an inspiration for musical theater favorites such as CABARET, CHICAGO, and COMPANY.

THE WILD PARTY - Apr 30 – May 11, 2025

Directed by Saheem Ali (FAT HAM), THE WILD PARTY is a jazz-age tragedy about a gin-soaked party. What happens when a night of debauchery leads to a morning of sobering truths? Michael John LaChiusa (THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA) and George C. Wolfe (JELLY’S LAST JAM) bring Joseph Moncure March’s notorious narrative poem to life in their “dangerous, seedy, fantastic” (The Observer) musical adaptation.
