Audra Ann McDonald&nbsp;was born on July 3, 1970 in West Berlin, Germany and is a six-time Tony Award-winning Broadway veteran.

McDonald was born in Germany as her American father was&nbsp;stationed there with the United States Army;&nbsp;however, she was raised in Fresno, California, attending the Theodore Roosevelt High School and graduating from the Roosevelt School of the Arts program. She went on to study&nbsp;classical voice at New York City's famed Juilliard School and graduated in 1993.

McDonald is primarily known for her work on Broadway. She&nbsp;made her Broadway debut in 1992, assuming the role of Ayah in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;The Secret Garden&nbsp;and reprising the role on the show's national tour. Her breakthrough performance was as&nbsp;Carrie Pipperidge in the 1994 revival of Rodgers and&nbsp;Hammerstein's&nbsp;Carousel, for which she won her first Tony Award, alongside a Drama Desk and Theatre World Award. Since then, she has gone on to win an additional five&nbsp;Tony Awards for her performances as Sharon in&nbsp;Master Class&nbsp;(1996), Sarah in&nbsp;Ragtime&nbsp;(1998), Ruth Younger&nbsp;in&nbsp;A Raisin in the Sun&nbsp;(2004),&nbsp;Bess&nbsp;in The Gershwins'&nbsp;Porgy and Bess&nbsp;(2012), and&nbsp;Billie Holliday in&nbsp;Lady Day at Emerson's Bar &amp; Grill&nbsp;(2014). She has won more Tony Awards than any other actor in Broadway history and is also the only person to have won Tonys in all four acting categories, justifying her moniker as "Mama Broadway."

Her other Broadway roles include the titular character of the 1999 premiere of&nbsp;Marie Christine,&nbsp;Lady Percy in the 2003 revival of&nbsp;Henry IV,&nbsp;Lizzie Curry in the 2007 revival of&nbsp;110 in the Shade, and&nbsp;Lottie Gee in the 2016 premiere of&nbsp;Shuffle Along, Or The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed. She has appeared off Broadway in&nbsp;The Vagina Monologues&nbsp;at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/westside-theatre">Westside Theatre</a> and&nbsp;as Olivia in the Public's 2009 Shakespeare in the Park&nbsp;production of&nbsp;Twelfth Night.&nbsp;She made her West End debut&nbsp;reprising her performance as Billie Holliday in&nbsp;Lady Day at Emerson's Bar &amp; Grill&nbsp;from June to September 2017, earning her first Olivier Award nomination for her efforts. In 2017, she was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame.

McDonald has also enjoyed a prolific career as a recording artist, having released a total of six studio albums to date and headlined countless solo concerts and tours both nationally and internationally. Her recording of Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny&nbsp;won the Grammy Awards for Best Classical Album&nbsp;and Best Opera Recording&nbsp;in 2008.

On screen, McDonald is perhaps best known for her TV role as&nbsp;Dr. Naomi Bennett on ABC's Private Practice, appearing in 77 episodes&nbsp;from 2007 to 2013,&nbsp;and as Liz Reddick-Lawrence on CBS's&nbsp;The Good Fight&nbsp;in 2018, having first debuted in the role on The Good Wife&nbsp;in 2013.&nbsp;She won an Emmy Award in 2015 for her performance in Live from Lincoln Center&nbsp;and earned Emmy nominations for Lady Day at Emerson's Bar &amp; Grill&nbsp;(2016), Live from Lincoln Center: Carousel&nbsp;(2013), A Raisin in the Sun&nbsp;(2008), and Wit&nbsp;(2001). Her other notable screen credits include the role of&nbsp;Madame Garderobe in Disney's 2017 live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast,&nbsp;Sally in the 2017 film adaptation of Hello Again,&nbsp;and appearances in Ricki and the Flash,&nbsp;Rampart,&nbsp;Grey's Anatomy,&nbsp;Kidnapped,&nbsp;The Bedford Diaries,&nbsp;Mister Sterling,&nbsp;Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit, and Cradle Will Rock,&nbsp;among others. She also starred as&nbsp;Mother Superior in NBC's The Sound of Music Live!&nbsp;in 2013.

The Broadhurst Theatre is a prestigious, century-old Broadway venue located in Midtown Manhattan, New York. It was named after the renowned playwright George H. Broadhurst, an Anglo-American who was originally from Bristol, England. Constructed by the Shubert Brothers and designed by the architectural firm Kirchoff & Rose, Broadhurst Theatre opened its doors to the public on September 27, 1917, with its first-ever staged play, George Bernard Shaw’s 'Misalliance'. Spanning over a wide space of 20,000 square feet, it can comfortably seat slightly over 1,100 spectators on two levels. With its decorative ceilings, excellent acoustics, central location, and intimate seating arrangement, the Broadhurst Theatre has been attracting Broadway artists and audience for over 100 years. 
 
##How to get to the venue
The Broadhurst Theatre is centrally located at 235 West 44th Street, and this strategic location makes it easily accessible from all parts of the city. If you're using public transportation, Times Square's 42nd Street subway station is the closest, served by various train lines such as the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S. Also, multiple buses serve 44th Street, including the M20 and M104 lines. Hence, reaching the Broadhurst Theatre isn't difficult regardless of where you are starting your journey.

Ohio State Murders starring Audra McDonald on Broadway - NYC Product Media

The most important thing to highlight about [*Ohio State Murders*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24218-ohio-state-murders-tickets) on Broadway is that it is here. At long last, it is here, with a trio of Black theatre icons (and icons, period) attached. Two are [Audra McDonald](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/audra-mcdonald), the six-time Tony-winning star of the production, and [James Earl Jones](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/james-earl-jones-theatre), for whom the theatre housing *Ohio State Murders* has just been renamed.

And finally, there's Adrienne Kennedy, who wrote such masterworks as *Funnyhouse of a Negro* in her decades-long Off-Broadway career that pushed the boundaries of theatrical writing. At 91 years old, she is now a Broadway playwright. With a Theater Hall of Fame induction and multiple other lifetime achievement awards under her belt already, it's an honor long overdue.

One can wager various guesses as to the delay. [Kennedy herself cites racism](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/t-magazine/adrienne-kennedy-broadway.html), and she would know — parts of *Ohio State Murders* are based on her own experiences facing academic discrimination as an aspiring writer at her alma mater of the title. Another is the belief that mainstream audiences (and even theatremakers) might not know what to make of Kennedy's experimental writing, which often abandons realism in favor of symbolism, allegories, and pretzel-like twists of time and space to explore the Black experience.

Not that that's any particular excuse. We can't expand what flies as Broadway theatre if no one dares to try. This Kenny Leon-directed production is imperfect, but it deserves credit for trying and for what it gets right, including McDonald's riveting lead performance.

*Ohio State Murders*, which features one of Kennedy's more linear plots, is a good choice for testing the waters. This still being Kennedy, of course, it's told out of chronological order, by the writer Suzanne Alexander (McDonald). Suzanne is giving a lecture on why violence features so heavily in her works: because she's also a grieving mother whose twin daughters were murdered, and the memory still weighs heavily on her mind.

An out-of-order retelling makes sense for such a story: Suzanne is trying to piece together multiple fragmented, traumatic memories — of getting underestimated for her talents, then rejected from the English program, then pregnant, then expelled, then undone by loss — in real time as she talks about all this openly for the first time.

*Ohio State Murders* is at its best when Suzanne is unraveling her memories for the audience. The short scenes of dialogue, most of which are with her English professor Robert Hampshire, stall the play's momentum. In those moments, Leon can't quite seem to decide whether his *Ohio State Murders* is closer to a memory play or a theatrical memoir.

But we can't disregard Hampshire, though he's unremarkably aloof and Bryce Pinkham plays him as such. He's also the father of Suzanne's twins (this isn't a spoiler), and is, theatrically, her perfect foil.

He and Suzanne each deliver lectures during *Ohio State Murders*, both with a certain emotionlessness. But while his matter-of-fact tone is disinterested, Suzanne's is anything but. There is a palpable, thinly veiled rage simmering beneath most of McDonald's expertly layered performance. Rage at Ohio State for dismissing her writing talents because of her Blackness, at Hampshire for tossing her aside the minute she became pregnant, at everyone involved in covering up the identity of her child's murderer because they were (you guessed it) white.

McDonald is so transformative that in her few moments of bygone joy, such as when she convincingly plays with a pink scarf as though it were a real child, we momentarily forget Suzanne's anger. But when it brings her to her knees as she finally, for one piercing moment, lets all her pain boil over, we're reminded anew that the most violent force in *Ohio State Murders* is racism itself. "Did you write this yourself?" Hampshire doubts, for example, of a brilliant assignment Suzanne submits for his class. Small microaggressions and murderous acts are all rooted in the same hatred.

Kennedy lets this point suggest itself, and Leon's direction of the actors smartly preserves the subtlety of her writing. Beowulf Boritt's set, too, with library stacks akimbo in front of a gaping, dark ravine and snowfall, sets the sinister tone without a word, aided by Allen Lee Hughes's lighting.

If you're looking for a show that announces its themes with pomp and circumstance, *Ohio State Murders* isn't it. Such an even-keeled approach might make a longer show dull, but at just 75 minutes, *Ohio State Murders* holds attention overall amid its muddy moments. And as McDonald's performance attests, nothing is as it seems on the surface. There's plenty bubbling below. This is a murder mystery of sorts, after all, so put on your detective's hat and keep your eyes and ears peeled for the clues.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway

Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway - NYC Product Media

In 2002 Baz Luhrmann, the idiosyncratic Australian film and theatre director, brought his stunning 1990 Opera Australia production of Puccini's La Bohème from Sydney Opera House to Broadway, a tale of a consumptive heroine and her bohemian friends living in rooftop Parisian digs. Now 17 years later, we're back in similar territory for this bedazzling stage transition of Luhrmann's 2001 film "Moulin Rouge!," which underlines just how much La Bohème inspired it -- an opera that also provided the source for Rent, which was set in 1990s New York.Broadway is now (over)populated by jukebox musicals -- current attractions include shows devoted to <a href="/show/aint-too-proud-the-life-and-times-of-the-temptations">The Temptations</a>, <a href="/show/beautiful-the-carole-king-musical">Carole King</a> and <a href="/show/the-cher-show">Cher</a>, with a transfer of <a href="/show/tina-the-tina-turner-musical">Tina -&nbsp;The Tina Turner Musical</a> from the West End due to arrive in October, plus new musicals based on albums by Alanis Morissette (<a href="/show/jagged-little-pill">Jagged Little Pill</a>)&nbsp; and David Byrne (<a href="/show/david-byrnes-american-utopia">American Utopia</a>) also planning Broadway engagements in October and November, respectively. But <a href="/show/moulin-rouge-the-musical">Moulin Rouge! The Musical</a> is in a league of originality and creativity all of its own; with a song stack of some 70 pop hits from the 40s to the present day, it is the ultimate jukebox show, encompassing Elton John, Sting and Katy Perry, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and even Rodgers and Hammerstein, amongst numerous others.Of course, many of those songs are only heard in the briefest of snatches; in one duet between Satine, the courtesan nightclub performer and Christian, the visiting American writer who stumbles into her life and falls unexpectedly in love with her, there are quotations from some 25 separate songs.Part of the immense musical fun of the evening is spotting all these goodies, even if there's a bit of an accompanying frustration that comparatively few of them are heard in full. Musical supervisor and orchestrator Justin Levine does a heroic job of marshalling them all into a cohesive, playful whole, and book writer John Logan folds them brilliantly into the plot so that they all serve a narrative as well as presentational purpose.But if the show is both tireless and at times relentless in shoehorning so much material into it, director Alex Timbers, his choreographer Sonya Tayeh and his designers Derek McLane (sets), Catherine Zuber (costumes), Justin Townsend (lighting) and Peter Hylenski (sound) turn it into an eye-popping spectacle that is full of sensory overload.The transportation to another world occurs even before the show begins, as you enter the <a href="/theatres/al-hirschfeld-theatre">Al Hirschfeld Theatre</a>, beguilingly transformed into the spectacular nightclub of the title. The Moulin Rouge's famous external windmill turns stage right; a giant blue elephant (which contains Santine's rooftop dressing room) is stage left. Dancers perform languorous cage dance routines and prowl the stage long before the lights dim and the club's MC and owner Harold Zidler (the buoyant and brilliant <a href="/actor-profile/danny-burstein">Danny Burstein</a>) set the stage show off.But as with Kander and Ebb's 1966 Broadway musical Cabaret, the vividly-recreated floorshow is only a backdrop to a more personal story of a desperate, ill-fated love affair that unfolds in its anchoring shadows. Spectacle may always be to the fore in this production, but against all the vigour there's also rigour in the beautiful ache that <a href="/actor-profile/aaron-tveit">Aaron Tveit</a> and <a href="/actor-profile/karen-olivo">Karen Olivo</a> bring to Christian and Satine's relationship.In a crowded Broadway market place, Moulin Rouge is a show that has it all: it's not just 70 songs that are rolled into one show, but also a canvas of spectacle and emotion that isn't just a floorshow but left me floored with its sublime artistry.(Photo by Matthew Murphy)<div class="block block-block contextual-links-region " id="block-block-9"><div class="block-inner clearfix"><div class="block-title"><h2>WHAT THE OTHER CRITICS SAID</h2></div></div></div>"This one's for the&nbsp;hedonists. All you&nbsp;party people should know that the Al Hirschfeld Theater has been refurbished as an opulent pleasure palace, wherein decadence comes without hangovers.&nbsp;That's where the euphoric&nbsp;Moulin Rouge! The Musical&nbsp;opened on Thursday night in a shower of fireworks, confetti and glittering fragments of what feels like every pop hit ever written." Ben Brantley&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/25/theater/moulin-rouge-review.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>"Red alert! Red alert! If you're the kind of person who frets that jukebox musicals are taking over Broadway, prepare to tilt at the windmill that is the gorgeous, gaudy, spectacularly overstuffed&nbsp;Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Directed with opulent showmanship by Alex Timbers, this adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 movie may be costume jewelry, but its shine is dazzling." Adam Feldman for <a href="https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/moulin-rouge-broadway-review" target="_blank">Time Out New York</a>"Who needs ecstasy when we've got Moulin Rouge!? That's the effect of the fabulous new musical that opened Thursday night&nbsp;on Broadway: raucous sensory overload. From its sexy sword swallowers to the newly pumped-up pop songbook and from-the-loins dancing, the show's as subtle as Liberace's toy poodle: a glitter bomb on Broadway." Johnny Oleksinski&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href="https://nypost.com/2019/07/25/moulin-rouge-review-nycs-hottest-nightclub-is-on-broadway/" target="_blank">New York Post</a>"Moulin Rouge!&nbsp;was Baz Luhrmann at his most brashly baroque, a shameless pop-cultural magpie molding equal parts kitsch, cool and cliché into a rhapsodic dream. The giddy 2001 screen collision of soaring romance and dazzling artifice helped resuscitate the movie musical. Stage director Alex Timbers and the creative team on this delirious theatrical reinvention take those Luhrmann impulses and run with them, crafting a gaudy and gorgeous jukebox pastiche in which eye-popping spectacle, off-the-charts energy and almost non-stop musical mashups provide the plush padding for a featherweight plot." David Rooney&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/moulin-rouge-musical-theater-1226326" target="_blank">Hollywood Reporter</a>"As in the film, the plot is yet another tragic story of mismatched lovers, inspired by everything from Carmen&nbsp;to La Dame aux Camélias.&nbsp;But I'm not sick of it, and nor should you be.

“I’m exploring.” That’s what the acclaimed photographer Larry Sultan tells his parents in [*Pictures From Home*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26764-pictures-from-home-tickets), a surprisingly touching new play based on his 1992 photo memoir of the same name.

It’s 1982. Larry ([Danny Burstein](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-burstein)), a married father of two who lives in San Francisco, is explaining plans for his new art “project” to his mom and dad, Jean and Irving (Zoë Wanamaker and [Nathan Lane](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/nathan-lane)), in their southern California home. Larry’s exploration will ultimately take ten long years to complete. They’ll be part of it every step of the way.

During that decade, Larry obsessively combs through 30 years of the family’s vintage home movies and snaps countless candids and meticulously arranged pictures of his parents. His bottomless curiosity about Irv and Jean turns the aging couple’s lives inside out. “What I’m doing,” says Larry, “is looking for the life beyond the frame.” 

Playwright Sharr White (*The Other Place*) finds similar narrative inspiration for this rich drama about the marvels and mysteries of an ordinary family. (It’s a selective portrait – Larry’s two brothers are mentioned in passing, and that’s it.) White looks beyond content in Sultan’s book to imagine inevitable behind-the-scenes small- and large-scale dramas drummed up by Larry’s posing and probing. Art isn’t easy – just ask these accommodating parents with lives of their own. 

From the jump, it’s obvious White isn’t taking a realistic route. Larry periodically breaks the fourth wall (as do his parents) and summons an invisible projectionist to roll homemade family films and cue up pictures, as if he’s giving a photography lecture back at California College of the Arts. Scene-setting text projections – “Terminal A,” “The Silent Treatment,” “Departures” – pop up in the unbroken 105-minute production as the action shifts in time and location.

Under Bartlett Sher’s assured direction, all three actors deftly capture the play’s shifting tones. Burstein shines as Larry, an artist whose work may not always be in his parents’ best interests. Wanamaker’s Jean is happily resigned to her life, but she’s nobody’s fool. Irv, a salesman-turned-executive unceremoniously pushed into retirement, emerges as a fascinating figure. Credit Lane’s depiction that toggles back and forth from funny to poignant in a flash. 

A striking aspect of Sher’s production is that the actors aren’t lookalikes for the people they’re playing. Lane and Burstein are nearly the same age. It’s a play about memories, after all, so there’s distance between how people are seen and how they really are. Early on, Larry claims the story “isn’t about me, it’s about them.” Irv drolly responds, “Larry may say it’s about us, but trust me. It’s about him.” Perhaps the casting lends wiggle room. If you’ve ever had questions or concerns about your parents, perhaps it’s about you, too.

Irv calls the project an "investigation," questioning whether Larry’s staged pictures reveal anything authentic and wondering why he’s spending so much time away from his own family. The play considers that Larry’s motive wasn’t just about exploring. It was also about exploding myths and images suggesting a storybook life.

As in any play about a family, White covers expected territory about generational divides, legacies, mortality, and finally, love. Eventually, a clear picture develops about what was driving Larry’s parent-focused project. It was to “stop time,” he says. “I want you to live forever.” But even beyond the frame, time ticks on.

'Pictures From Home' review — family drama captures the challenges of art and mortality

Read our four-star review of Sharr White's *Pictures From Home* starring Nathan Lane, Danny Burstein, and Zoë Wanamaker, playing at Studio 54 on Broadway.

The **Studio 54 theatre** in New York is legendary in its status as America's most famous nightclub from history. In the '70s, the venue was a beacon for A-list celebrities, artists, and musicians to gather under its mesmerising disco ball. Today, as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company, **Studio 54** is a home to captivating theatrical performances. The theatre, located on 254 W 54th Street, maintains its historical charm with the restored auditorium that evokes an intense feel for the remarkable history it's borne witness to. The theatre has a seating capacity of 1006 and has been the stage for numerous notable productions such as 'Cabaret', 'Sunday in the Park with George', and 'Kiss Me, Kate'. The elegance from its original 1927 construction blends seamlessly with its more modern renovations, helping keep Studio 54 an iconic and desired destination in the Big Apple. 

 **How to get to the venue** 

 Getting to Studio 54 is quite straightforward. Located in Manhattan, it's easily accessible by subway. The closest station is 7 Avenue, which is just a short two-minute walk from the theatre. For those preferring a taxi ride or self-drive, there are several parking garages nearby like the 'Icon Parking' on 851 8th Ave or the 'SP+' on 1700 Broadway.

Woods first gained prominence in the NYC theatre scene as part of *Little Shop of Horrors* off Broadway, making her Off-Broadway debut as Chiffon and later stepping into the lead role of Audrey. She has since earned critical acclaim for her performances as Martha Mills in *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* off Broadway and Middle Allie in the musical adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's *The Notebook* on Broadway.

The plant at the centre of <a href="/show/little-shop-of-horrors">Little Shop of Horrors</a> that feeds on human blood may have had its sights on world domination, but the musical that was based on the low-budget 1960 comedy sci-fi film of the same name has actually long achieved it, so it ultimately got what it wanted. And now the show has come full circle, 37 years on from its Off-Off-Broadway beginnings at the WPA Theatre (now no more) in May 1982, before moving to the larger Orpheum Theater on Second Avenue in the East Village that summer, where it ran for five years and became the highest-grossing show in Off-Broadway history until then, to find a new home at another Off-Broadway house just off Eighth Avenue in midtown Manhattan.In the intervening years, it has been turned into a feature film and played in the West End and on Broadway (the latter in a new production in 2003 that ran for less than a year at the Virginia Theatre, now the August Wilson), but its true home is a more modestly scaled place like the 270-seater <a href="/theatres/westside-theatre">Westside Theatre</a>, a former Baptist church built in 1889 that has been used as a theatre space since the mid-1970s.But while it is naturally a special pleasure and privilege to see the show at close quarters again, everything about this new version screams Broadway, from its above-the-title casting of multiple Tony Award nominees Jonathan Groff, Tammy Blanchard and two-time Tony winner <a href="/actor-profile/christian-borle">Christian Borle</a>, to its creative staff, led by director Michael Mayer, Tony winner for his original production of Spring Awakening. And unfortunately not everyone alas is willing to let the show sing and speak for itself, but&nbsp;seeks to portray it on a larger canvas.The production often feels too large and indulgent on this small stage, starting with Julian Crouch's expansive set that consumes the theatre. This may be the priciest Skid Row ever brought to an Off-Broadway stage.The performances are at times similarly exaggerated. In trying to mine new colours for Audrey, the abused floral shop assistant who falls for her work colleague Seymour as he nurtures a new exotic plant that he names Audrey II after her, Tammy Blanchard channels her into a sultry Rita Heyworth-inspired character, with her songs slowed down into torch songs of despair. 'Somewhere that's Green' sounds less aspirational of a better life than a dread doubt of ever achieving it.Jonathan Groff seems similarly depressed and downtrodden as Seymour, while Christian Borle plays the dentist Orin and a range of other characters purely as bright, eager caricature.There are some compensating pleasures from the trio of street urchins Ronnette (Ari Groover), Crystal (Salome Smith) and Chiffon (Joy Woods), who are a kind of Greek chorus observing and commenting on the action in Alan Menken's wonderful pastiche score. It is here that the enduring pleasures of the show itself are most apparent.Nicholas Mahon's new puppet designs for the plant itself are impressive as it grows ever larger. But less, in this production, would be more amongst the human elements.(Photo by Emilio Madrid-Kuser)<div class="block block-block contextual-links-region " id="block-block-9"><div class="block-inner clearfix"><div class="block-title"><h2>WHAT THE OTHER CRITICS SAID</h2></div></div></div>"A certain carnivorous plant has been repotted in Hell's Kitchen, and I am delighted to report that it's thriving there. This hot showbiz shrub of yesteryear, which goes by the name of Audrey II, has found a new dance partner, a performer who can coax the&nbsp;tendril-stretching star quality&nbsp;out of a freakish botanical specimen. That would be Jonathan Groff,&nbsp;who is generating major nerd charisma in Michael Mayer's delicious revival of Little Shop of Horrors." Ben Brantley&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/theater/little-shop-of-horrors-review-jonathan-groff-feeds-the-beast.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>"Tight feels right, because the roots of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's terrific show are in small houses. Now the insanely catchy doo-wop musical occupies the 270-seat Westside Theatre, with a bare-bones set and not a projection in sight. Freed from dealing with the usual trappings of modern musicals, you can feel the actors let their vines down."

It's a little show, and the closer we get to it, the more it sucks us in." Adam Feldman for <a href="https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/little-shop-of-horrors-review-revival-jonathan-groff-tammy-blanchard-christian-borle" target="_blank">Time Out New York</a>"What's most immediately captivating about the limited-engagement production is that, deluxe casting aside, it eschews Broadway scale in favor of a return to the show's roots in an off-Broadway theater that seats just 270. That accounts for the production's sell-out business, two-month extension and cluster of hopeful ticket-buyers waiting on cancellation lines at every performance. While it's become something of a classic, this remains at heart a scrappy little pastiche musical whose charms thrive most vibrantly in an intimate house." David Rooney&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/little-shop-horrors-theater-review-1248089" target="_blank">Hollywood Reporter</a>"Directed at a quick clip by Michael Mayer,&nbsp;this Little Shop&nbsp;is played out on the small, tight stage of the Westside Theater with an ever-growing, masterfully manipulated plant (kudos to Eric Wright, Teddy Yudain, Kris Roberts, Chelsea Turbin).

I Can Get It For You Wholesale - NYC

I Can Get It For You Wholesale

I Can Get It For You Wholesale - NYC Product Media

It’s incredible that the cultural legacy of [*I Can Get It For You Wholesale*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28275-i-can-get-it-for-you-wholesale-tickets) — the 1962 musical by Jerome Weidman (book) and Harold Rome (music and lyrics), loosely based on Weidman’s novel — is fairly limited to the fact that it marked Barbra Streisand's Broadway debut. It seems particularly ironic given that the show’s primary thematic anxiety is legacy itself, situated in the context of a world hostile to Jews.

The first scene depicts protagonist Harry Bogen (Santino Fontana) looking back at his younger self being bullied by an anti-Semite. When he returns home, something about the experience, and the fact that little besides his mother (Judy Kuhn) and her cooking comfort him, fuels a fire that will soon overwhelm him. 

In Trip Cullman’s new production at [Classic Stage Company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/classic-stage-company), Harry is as ambitious an entrepreneur as almost anyone on the stage these days, making deals to start businesses before he has the funds — and selling out his friends along the way. That the actors don their final accessories as they first enter makes it easy to imagine that everyone could have gotten ready entirely on stage, the audience watching them transform. Because that’s what Harry wants: transformation.

He’ll buy his mother mink stoles and, in his pursuit to make his dress company a fashion giant, butter up buyers with caviar and champagne. He truly wants to reenvision himself as a bright star in the firmament of the American Dream. *Wholesale* casts him as a proto-Talented Mr. Ripley in the way he wants to use charm offensive to get what he wants, while maintaining a more agreeable guise.

He’s a scammer, robbing one friend to pay another, playing with family friend Ruthie’s (Rebecca Naomi Jones) heart while succumbing to equally materialistic actress Martha Mills (Joy Woods). But, as his spending fails to add up, the world starts to close in on Harry's dreams of having it all.

Weidman’s book (now revised by his son, John Weidman) and Rome’s score often seem at odds with each other, and the show's intended tone is frequently unclear. While the show is increasingly aware of Bogen’s dubiousness, there’s a jovial quality to the music that doesn’t gel with the seriousness of a story about misplaced racial and class trauma fueling cutthroat ambition.

That *Wholesale* ties itself to Jewish families also serves as an obstacle for a more coherent show. Is it that American industrialism and modernity and Jewish family values are incompatible? Or that Harry simply abandoned those values to assimilate? Regardless, Fontana nails the desperation of wanting to escape where you came from and making that desire work overtime, but he is less charming than hoped. If the character succeeds in convincing everyone (until he can’t) that he’s trustworthy, Harry’s all-consuming drive papers over his appeal.

Conversely, Woods is the show’s icon. Every time she sets foot on stage, you hope the gold dust from her stardom rubs off on you. In “The Sound of Money” alone, Woods, with her gorgeous wingspan and blinding seductive appeal, makes the trip to the theatre worth every cent.

SIX on Broadway [20737] Product Media

There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering a show and then going back to see it again (and again) with someone who has never seen it before. As someone who goes to the theatre for work, I view every night as a treasure hunt for the next theatrical crown jewel, and I love revisiting these gems time and again with friends and family.&nbsp;So when I saw a little show called <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/six">Six</a> for the first time in London's West End in 2019, I couldn't wait to evangelize about it and take everyone I know. When the show came to the U.S. for a North American tour before heading to Broadway, I took my brother and sister-in-law to the show at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.&nbsp;And when the show was preparing for its March 2020 Broadway bow, I took a good friend, dancing in the aisles at the last show I saw before the pandemic shutdown.&nbsp;Now, the production is the first new musical to return to Broadway since theatres closed, and in the intervening time, I've actually moved to London, where I was at the musical's first performance back in the West End in May 2021. So being back in New York for Broadway's reopening and seeing Six (for the sixth time, no less) feels like a seminal moment for the show.&nbsp;This time, I also took a good friend, who also had never seen the show or heard any of the music. Watching her experience pure musical theatre elation for a pop-packed 75 minutes was greater than any returning-to-theatre joy I could have imagined. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll dance. It's everything a theatre experience should be and more.&nbsp;So what is Six, you might ask, oh uninitiated one? The show is essentially a pop concert featuring the six wives of&nbsp;Henry VIII belting and riffing about all the "bullsh*t" they had to put up with from the king. Featuring vocal stylings in the vein of Nicki Minaj, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, and more, the performers deliver a "histo-remix," in a concise and endlessly catchy concert-style show that is part singing competition, part history lesson.&nbsp;Now, you don't need me to tell you how popular the music is, as the U.K. cast recording has been streamed over 100 million times, and writers Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow (also the show's co-director with Jamie Armitage) have scored a deal to write pop music. Not bad for two students at Cambridge who came up with this show in school and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp;The queendom has now gone global, and the Broadway production is bigger, bolder, and beltier than any Six I've seen yet. From new riffs to surprise costume reveals, every element has been leveled up for New York, leaving no stone unturned. Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Brittney Mack (Anna of Cleves), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) form a tight ensemble, fulfilling all your girl group dreams and your next karaoke night.&nbsp;The show itself is a retro-mashup with Gabrielle Slade's bedazzled costumes featuring Reformation-inspired silhouettes; Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's choreography showcases Tudor-meets-pop moves; and Emma Bailey's scenery and Tim Deiling's lighting feels like what a royal ballroom might look like in a techno disco.&nbsp;Ultimately, the queens' own stories of overcoming struggles and the show's circuitous journey to Broadway are also beacons for the power of positivity, perseverance, and coming together in times of struggle. Just like these six "ex-wives," we've all had it rough for the past year and a half, and the queens are here to bring in a new regime. Long may they reign.&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is playing on Broadway at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/brooks-atkinson-theatre">Brooks Atkinson Theatre</a>. &nbsp;
