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.

‘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.
THE MINUTES: SO MUCH PROMISE, SO LITTLE PAYOFF
3 / 10
Ultimately, Letts is making a statement about whitewashing American history, but he hauls out an entirely new character-the heretofore absent but much-discussed Mr. Carp (Linda Vista's Ian Barford)-to do it, yielding less a moment of enlightenment and more of a screed. As for the mystifying ritualistic ending...perhaps Oldfield says it best. 'Now friends, I fully expect you're going to throw me on the floor and kick me in the face,' he says, 'but I assure you I have no idea what is happening.' The feeling, regrettably, is mutual.
