BREAKDOWN
SYNOPSIS: The return engagement of the 2015 NY Times Critics' Pick musical comedy from Marshall Pailet (Triassic Parq) and A.D. Penedo (The Three Times She Knocked) about a support group for those who started the Iraq War. At times absurd, at other times devastating, the piece recounts the true story of a handful of mid-level spies whose foibles contributed to the worst intelligence blunder in modern history.
