The Minutes - 2022 Broadway History , Info & More

Studio 54 (Broadway)
254 West 54th St. New York, NY

In this brand new comedy from Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts, nothing is safe at during the town council meeting, not the town's history, the legend of a local hero, and not even the coveted privilege of reserved parking.

This razor-sharp story turns from hilarious to chilling as petty policy gives way to the truth bubbling just beneath the surface of the town's historical mythology.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Minutes

THE MINUTES: DARING IN BOTH STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
8 / 10

Audience mileage will vary on the play which transforms itself from a satirical comedy about small-town bureaucracy to a dark vision of historical revisionism and collective guilt. Lett’s audacious conceit doesn’t fully work in its lengthy build-up and abrupt transition to surrealism. But it’s nonetheless a bracing and fascinating attempt to wrestle with deep moral themes.

‘The Minutes’ Review: History Goes Missing In Tracy Letts’ Thrilling Comedy-Mystery Featuring Noah Reid In Broadway Debut
9 / 10

Tracy Letts' The Minutes would be one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway this season even if recent real-life events hadn't made it seem as uncanny as it is funny and, ultimately, disarming. The Minutes - there are a brisk 90 of them in all - begins as one thing and ends up quite another, and every step along the way is so finely rendered that we're too busy savoring the moment to see what's waiting just ahead.
