MARATHON THEATRE
One NIght
Off Broadway, Marathon Performance
BOTTOM LINE: A deeply hospitable invitation to meditate on oral storytelling, diaspora, and the ways we build communities around narrative, through the framework of The One Thousand and One Nights.
TIMELY REVIVAL
How I Learned to Drive
Broadway, Play Revival
BOTTOM LINE: Seen through a 21st-century lens, this 25-year-old drama remains topical and gripping, with the original leads revisiting the same roles.
DARK COMEDY
H*tler's Tasters
Off Broadway, Play
BOTTOM LINE: A timely dark comedy that is as fun as it is terrifying.
PULITZER WINNER ADAPTATION
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Off Broadway, Play
BOTTOM LINE: Repertorio Español's adaptation of Junot Diaz' The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao packs a poignant punch but also delivers an entertaining production.
FOR A LAUGH
The Play That Goes Wrong
Off Broadway, Play (Transfer)
BOTTOM LINE: This physical farce—about a very unfortunate production of a murder mystery play—will no doubt be making audiences laugh for years to come in its new Off Broadway home.
THE WONDER OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Say Something Bunny!
Off Broadway, Solo Show/Unique Theatre
BOTTOM LINE: A solo show developed out of two found recordings, Say Something Bunny! is hands down the best theatre experience of the 2017-2018 season. Buy your tickets now.
REVOLUTIONARY MUSICAL
