Relapse: A New Musical
Michael Kelleher / @michaelkelleher / Eat. Sleep. Flap Ball-Change. Recent Transplant to the city- 3 Bucks, 2 Bags, 1 BFA. I love and appreciate the unexpected, experimental, and absurd. Always on the look out for Queer centric stories.
What this show has done beautifully is marry its subject matter and musical style to support its themes and create really interesting dynamics with its characters. An edgy, pop-rock score and lots of impressive belts bring you right onto a dramatic cliff of where our four recovering patients are mentally and physically. Read more
The Creeps
Ian Kennedy / @ianrken / Theatre writer / Theatre worker / Theatre lover
Waller’s physicality is quite impressive as she distorts her figure and face to portray each of the distinct characters. Her crowd work is also excellent, generating responses from many voices within the half-sold crowd on a humid Thursday night. Read more
Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors
Andrew Agress / @Andrew / Experiential Dramaturg chasing work that engages the audience in the theatrical event. If it’s immersive, absurdist, or just plain strange and wonderful, I’ll be there.
Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors could use more comedy or more terrors. Still, it’s not dead—or even undead—on arrival. I’d rather see an attempt at the ridiculous that doesn’t quite pull it off than the same straight adaptation of a classic work. Read more
Constellations (Closed)
Allyson Broyles / @always_allyson / Dramaturg/Theatre Practitioner interested in feminist theatre, dark comedies, and plays in development
This project, presented by Underbelly Productions and housed at the wild project in the East Village, is a shining example of how beautiful crowdfunded, indie theatre can be. The production was of the highest quality, our audience was a full house of engaged participants, and by the end of the performance, we were all brought to tears. More NYC theatre like this, please!
