New York Mini-Reviews 2025 p1: Off-Broadway Plays
Of the three Off-Broadway plays I saw, there was a real mix of quality and a range of very famous names. It certainly was interesting…
-
Snakeface (Belvoir 25a) ★★★½
This is a voice I want to hear more from.
-
These Youths Be Protesting (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
These Youths Be Protesting has the laughs, performances, and vivacity to keep you engaged.
-
Dear Elena Sergeevna (Old Fitz) ★★★★
Dear Elena Sergeevna puts the focus on the actors to bring this 80s Russian moral drama to the small stage. It’s thrilling.
-
Amber (Old Fitz) ★★★½
Amber is a rom-com, and like all the best rom-coms, it sneaks in some darker material on the way to its HEA (or HFN, at least).
-
Bloom (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★
Tom Gleisner & Katie Weston’s Bloom arrives in Sydney following its well-reviewed premiere at Melbourne Theatre Co in 2023.
-
The Player Kings (Seymour) ★★★★½
This isn’t “eating your theatrical vegetables,” but a lavish degustation menu of Shakespearean delights.
-
The Glass Menagerie (Ensemble) ★★★½
Director Liesel Badorrek’s new production pushes against the play’s expected structure and text to bring the “memory play” to the stage with a fresh twist.
-
Guys & Dolls (Handa Opera) ★★★★
Blown up to Sydney Harbour scale, Guys & Dolls’ colourful characters take on epic proportions.
-
MJ The Musical (Lyric) ★★★★
MJ is genuinely exciting and entertaining… it just depends on how much you care for Michael Jackson himself.
