The Medium

Around the BroadwayWorld is our monthly snapshot of the biggest stories making waves across the global theatre community.

The reason the play works at all is because of the sheer strength of its production values and the commitment of its cast. When you look at all the design elements – sets, lighting, illusions, choreography – and combine it with performers who move through that space with the same ease as one breathes, it create a cohesive, immersive world that feels both magical and meticulously controlled.

What's happening off-Broadway? BroadwayWorld is here to guide you through the top picks for theatre this month. February is filled with world premieres featuring well-known stars. See the full list!
