BEST BETS
Need a recommendation? Here are Theasy's current favorites!
SHAKESPEARE REBOOTED
Fat Ham
Broadway, Play
BOTTOM LINE: You'll laugh, cry and maybe even sing along with Juicy and his hot mess of a family in this comedy, based on Shakespearean tragedy but much Blacker, queerer, and shorter.
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
Hamilton
Broadway, Musical
BOTTOM LINE: There's good reason why Hamilton is the most popular show on Broadway.
