REVIEW | In the Velvet Darkness: THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Studio 54

Consider what it means, in 2026, to yell "asshole" in public. Not at a taxi cutting you off, not in the privacy of your apartment when the Wi-Fi drops. But collectively, gleefully, in a darkened theater at a fictional character named Brad, while an Oscar-nominated actress playing his fiancée gets called a slut by the row behind you. Even when the Broadway production put up signs reminding audiences that this is live theater, not a midnight movie screening, people showed up anyway, having memorized lines from a participation script passed hand to hand through 51 years of cult fandom, ready to shout them at real human actors.

Did I spend all day inside the house reading…

REVIEW | Don’t Cross That Bridge: SCHMIGADOON! at the Nederlander Theatre

There is a moment in the second act of Schmigadoon! when the stage lighting cleaves in two.

The awkward pauses are the most honest parts. Everything else is an audition. Tom Noonan understood this when he wrote What Happened Was… in 1992, first staging it in the round at his East Village Paradise Theatre, where the audience sat inside the playing area — inside the apartment, inside the date.
