By my count, I’ve attended 246 performances of theatre, dance, music, opera, and cabaret during 2018. Out of a field that large, it’s hard to pick just ten, but nevertheless, here are my top ten favorite shows I saw in New York (including no new musicals and only three Broadway shows!).
"Hello, Dolly!" to close in August 25th following return of Bette Midler and David Hyde Pierce; "To Kill a Mockingbird" lawsuit intensifies; Martyna Majok wins the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama; “Hadestown” to play London then Broadway; "Empire Records" and "Nanny McPhee" will be musicals; Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban to host the Tony Awards; 2018 Drama League nominees
Two new plays that opened Off-Broadway recently document finer points of the immigrant experience—in the United Kingdom and the United States. "An Ordinary Muslim" and "queens" are long-winded but well-acted, and offer important, thought-provoking, and memorable perspectives that buck common perception, making for rewarding theatre.
