On Maxamoo’s New York City Theater Podcast we cut through that chaos and just tell you: what’s good, what’s bad, and what we recommend. We base our recommendations on the quality and characteristics of the production, not theater size. So the terms Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off Off Broadway (which are all technical terms describing the location and number of seats in a theater) are not important to us. We strive to include diverse, interesting, and innovative productions, shows you’re probably missing if you rely on mainstream publications like the New York Times, The New Yorker, and Time Out New York, which cover only a tiny fraction of the arts, culture, and theater world.
Seeing good shows produces good episodes and the shows we saw this week were great! David, Diep and Lindsay discuss the latest beyond Broadway in New York City theater.
Lindsay, Jose and Liz sampled the 200 offerings at the 2016 New York International Fringe Festival and we enjoyed it! This year's festival played host to nearly 200 shows ranging in style from the weird and wacky one-person shows to sincere musicals and dramas.
We were compelled to discuss Men on Boats (written by Jaclyn Backhaus and directed by Will Davis) at Playwrights Horizons because we loved it and because the audience's bizarre reaction at the performance Liz attended demanded a response.
On today's episode of the Maxamoo Theater & Performance Podcast, Lindsay Barenz, Liz Richards, and Jack Moore discuss what they're most excited to see in June at the theater beyond Broadway in New York City.
