About The King's Critique

Get The King's Critique tickets on New York Theatre Guide to see this original musical starring Taylor Iman Jones (Head Over Heels), Justin Collette (Beetlejuice), and Donna Lynne Champlin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Following the consequences of a king who declares that women can no longer perform on stage, The Kings Critique the musical is a hilarious comedy and plays for a limited run this fall at at The Pershing Square Signature Center starting November 3.

In The King's Critique off Broadway, King Benjamin says no to women performing on stage, but Josephine is determined to change that rule. With the help of a f-ckboy tenor named Sebastian, Josephine hatches a plan to reverse the king's course, but not before encountering (and making) some chaos of her own.

The King's Critique is written by Nat Zegree and Eric Holmes, who met as students at Indiana University. While there, they started writing this musical, which is now coming to life. The musical will be "more infectious than the plague and more fun than a magnificent ship full of gay men and Patti LuPone," the producers said in a statement.

“Creating this show with this ridiculously fun team has been joy incarnate," Zegree said in a statement. "Creating original music and stories that simply bring laughter and happiness is all I could ever ask for, and that’s what we hope to accomplish. It’s exactly what I love most about musical theatre comedy—just a couple hours of pure joy, silliness, and hopefully some new music that you’ll be singing and take with you on your way home!”

The show had a successful concept album, which featured Joy Woods, Jordan Fisher, Norbert Leo Butz, Troy Iwata, and Marilyn Caserta. The musical is directed by Catie Davis. Tickets to The King's Critique in New York City are available here now.
