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 Arrives on Broadway Just in Time — Review
10 / 10

The council is sat at their desks for most of the play, so Letts' language is perfectly on display in this masterpiece of tension-filled Americana. When you aren't hilariously cracking up at the witty jokes and delicious direction, take some time to look at the detail of the desks and just what those items say about each member of the council, from colorful water bottles to 5 Hour Energy drinks. One thing is clear, if there is one play you choose to see on Broadway this season, have it be The Minutes.

‘The Minutes’ on Broadway Brilliantly Shows How Democracy Dies Under Strip Lighting
9 / 10

Whatever else, Letts holds a black mirror up to us about where we are and where our society and we may be headed as Republican extremists and democracy's destroyers take hold of local, national, and international politics. It is not just our vote that matters, The Minutes makes clear, but our active participation in the frayed-to-torn thing we still call democracy.
