An immersive theatre adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby will receive its American premiere in New York later this year. The Great Gatsby is set to bring the party atmosphere to the theatre, with performance dates to be confirmed.Inspired by the seminal Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby sees Jay Gatsby invite audiences to one of his parties. Throughout the show, audiences are invited into side stories with Daisy and Tom, as the main action unfolds.The Great Gatsby is written and directed by Alexander Wright. It's produced by Immersive Everywhere, Hartshorn - Hook Productions and Broadway International Group. Ahead of the New York performances, producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook said, "The Great Gatsby is finally coming to its spiritual home in New York. Dark, hedonistic, literary and theatrical, this immersive telling of one of the world's greatest novels brings audiences closer to Jay Gatsby's opulent world than ever before."In a <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/the-great-gatsby-immersive-london-is-back-as-an-art-deco-sensory-overload" target="_blank">review of The Great Gatsby on LondonTheatre.co.uk</a>, "Everything you'd expect from a show set in the 1920s is there: the Charleston, the bob hair cuts, the constant talk about motor cars. But it's missing the exorbitant lavishness that you get from the original."&nbsp;The Great Gatsby opens in New York this Fall.Photo credit: The Great Gatsby (Photo by Sam Taylor)

Perfect Crime will make history as the first indoor play to reopen in New York with an in-person show. Performances will resume at the Theater Center from April 18, marking the show's 34th anniversary.First performed in 1987, Perfect Crime tells of Margaret Thorne Brent who believes she's committed the ultimate murder.

The show also features Patrick Ryan Sullivan, David Butler, Charles Geyer, and Patrick Robustelli. It is <a href="/reviews/perfect-crime">a show that's</a> "full of surprises as each clue is unravelled. It is well acted and performed in a very small stage resulting in a cosy atmosphere."&nbsp;A preview performance will take place on April 17, ahead of its official reopening on April 18.

This year's winner is Erika Dickerson-Despenza with <a href="/show/cullud-wattah">cullud wattah</a>, a new work exploring three generations of Black women living through the water crisis in Flint, Michigan."I wrote cullud wattah to explore the politics of disgust, shame and refusal by highlighting the rupture of government intervention at the intersection of capitalism and environmental racism" says Dickerson-Despenza. She continued to say "I wrote this play specifically for black women on the margins of the margins. Poor and working class black women, single mothers, elders and widows, black women in recovery, and queer black girls."After workshops at the <a href="/theatres/public-theater">Public Theater</a> in 2019,&nbsp;<a href="/show/cullud-wattah">cullud wattah</a>&nbsp;was due to receive its world premiere in July 2020.

British judges included Paapa Essiedu, Natalie Abrahami and Bunny Christie.On presenting the prize, Essiedu said: "What a play. Oh my God, what a play! When I say that this play hit me like a train. Like a ton of bricks. I don't think I slept for about three weeks after reading this play. It did something very significant to me. ... Through its passionate exploration of the black female experience in America right now I feel like this play is going to be a classic of today and of years to come."The list of finalists included Triple X by Glace Chase, A Play for Living in the Time of Extinction by Miranda Rose Hall, The Trials by Dawn King, The Gift by Janice Okoh, Maggie May by Frances Poet, The Aves by Jihae Park and The House of Shades by Beth Steel.Past winners include Sweat by Lynn Nottage, <a href="/show/how-i-learned-to-drive">How I Learned to Drive</a> by Paula Vogel and Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury.Photo credit: Erika Dickerson-Despenza (Photo by Joey Stocks)

I attended a live, indoor theatre performance for the first time in a year with bells on — and a mask, of course. The highly-anticipated London transfer of <a href="/show/blindness">Blindness</a>, which bowed at the <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/donmar-warehouse">Donmar Warehouse</a> last December, will run at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/daryl-roth-theatre">Daryl Roth Theatre</a> in New York April 2-September 5. With strict safety measures in place, the Off-Broadway production is the first indoor performance out of the gate in New York City since theatres shuttered last March.Blindness, adapted by Simon Stephens from José Saramago's dystopian novel of the same name, is about a city navigating the perils of an epidemic of blindness. (Yes, really.) The light and audio experience, sans live actors, is narrated by Juliet Stevenson, whose booming voice is delivered via binaural headphones to distanced audience members. In both content and form, Blindness is a bellwether for the theatre industry and audiences to safely return to theatre.&nbsp;"One of my greatest joys has been watching people walk into that space," says the show's associate producer Markus Potter, noting the excited theatre patrons. "Seeing that hope and seeing people respond has been incredible." With health and safety in mind, Potter and the rest of the production team and staff are ready to welcome eager theatregoers to the Daryl Roth Theatre.<h2 dir="ltr">What Covid-safe measures are in place at the theatre?</h2>From the point of ticket purchase to exiting the theatre space, the Daryl Roth Theatre keeps ticket holders well-informed about the safety protocols practiced at the venue. Ahead of the show, ticket holders are emailed a list of the Daryl Roth Theatre's health and safety measures, as well as a link to a detailed four<a href="https://www.darylroththeatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Blindness-FAQ-updated-03.08.2021.pdf">-page safety plan</a>."In the theatre we're always talking about the audience experience, but there is a greater emphasis on taking care of the community in terms of what people are thinking and feeling walking into the space, and really being mindful and considering their experience," says associate producer Potter of the Blindness team.The health and safety measures communicated by the Blindness production include:&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Mandating Covid compliance training for all staff </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Administering temperature checks for all staff and visitors </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Requiring masks for all staff members and patrons while inside the theatre </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Sanitizing the venue between performances </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Limiting the number of attendees per performance </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Spacing pairs of seats six-feet-apart </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Selling and collecting tickets electronically </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Opening the venue 10 minutes before curtain to ease the ticket exchange process </li></ul><div style="text-align:center"><figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"><img alt="" height="500" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/3aurzr4UQRuF1ZLw7WwGyJ/ea856b7cdb2729040e7c895918c7f6be/Daryl_Roth_Theatre.jpg" width="750" /><figcaption>Daryl Roth Theatre</figcaption></figure></div><h2 dir="ltr">How Patrons Enter the Venue</h2>There are distant markers on the sidewalk along 15th Street where patrons wait to enter the building. Front-of-house staffers present a pre-show curtain speech of sorts to prepare everyone for entry. There's no box office for Blindness — instead, pairs of tickets are sold in advance online and printed tickets or e-tickets are scanned upon entry. To avoid queueing in the small lobby space, the theatre opens its doors 10 minutes before each performance to help streamline the ticket exchange process. Ticketing and temperature taking is done in one fell swoop — wrists are scanned for temperatures just before tickets are scanned.<h2 dir="ltr">Covid track and trace procedures for socially distant theatre</h2>The day before the show, ticket holders are emailed a health questionnaire to complete and submit online. Ushers ensure that all pod members complete the forms upon arrival, and paper copies are on hand if patrons need to fill it out. The health questionnaire vets any patrons that may have symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in contact with an infected person. Moreover, the form collects contact information for contact tracing.&nbsp;<h2 dir="ltr">How does seating work at socially distanced theatre?</h2>As mandated by local and state regulations, tickets are sold to a limited number of audience members for each performance. (The max capacity for Blindness is 84 patrons.) Pairs of tickets enable two people within a social pod to be seated together, and each seating pod is placed six-feet-apart from other pods. Patrons are led by an usher along a taped pathway to their seats.&nbsp;Each patron is equipped with a flashlight tethered to the bottom of their seat. Patrons can flash the light on the floor at any point during the show to get the attention of an usher for assistance with the headphones or help exiting the space if need be.&nbsp;"Giving folks a flashlight gives them the comfort of knowing that they can leave if they want to leave," explains Potter. "We know that walking back into the theatre after a year, people are gonna be hyper-aware of what they're feeling."<h2 dir="ltr">Venue safety updates for socially distanced theatre</h2>The Daryl Roth Theatre is housed in a cavernous, four-story bank building. Ahead of the production, MERV-13 filters were installed to the air filtration system. Additionally, the HVAC vents are kept open during the show for maximum air circulation. There is a separate entrance and exit to create a single direction of traffic flow.&nbsp;<h2 dir="ltr">What to bring to socially distanced theatre</h2>These days, it is de rigueur to leave your home with a mask or two and hand sanitizer. I am a bit hyper-vigilant and traveled to the theatre on the subway with two maks and disinfectant wipes in tow. Because the Daryl Roth Theatre has enhanced its air-circulation, I brought a sweater in case the venue was chilly, which it was.&nbsp;The space is shrouded in darkness for much of the 70-minute performance, so I would recommend wearing sensible shoes in case you have to exit mid-performance for any reason. There are no concessions offered, and there is just one bathroom stall available at the space, so be sure to eat, drink, and use the restroom before attending a performance. Here are some suggestions of what to bring with you:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Hand sanitizer </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Face mask </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Disinfectant wipes </li> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr"> Sensible shoes </li></ul><h2 dir="ltr">How the theatre venue Is cleaned and sanitized</h2>Sanitization is a primary concern for people re-entering public spaces after this year of social distancing and quarantining at home. An on-staff porter thoroughly cleans the space between shows in accordance with CDC/EPA-approved guidelines, and wipes down high-traffic areas during each performance.&nbsp;"The team has been thinking about safety with great rigor and is taking it very seriously," says Potter. "They've followed every single protocol and paid close attention to details, like on any door handle there are self-cleaning sanitary mechanisms so we're not collectively touching doors."&nbsp;Indeed, the experience of Blindness is pretty hands-off for patrons. The <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/daryl-roth-theatre">Daryl Roth Theatre</a> has installed automatic soap dispensers, as well as touchless faucets and toilet flushers. In addition to the flashlight, each seat is equipped with a pair of headphones sealed in a plastic bag. These special binaural headphones — which are central to the show and provide an immersive experience — are collected between shows to be individually sanitized with disinfectant wipes and UV lighting, a process Potter calls "a well-oiled machine."<h2 dir="ltr">What is it like to attend&nbsp;Blindness?</h2>The audio-centric show offers far more than an at-home podcast play. The binaural sound design is transportive and pulls audience members into the story. I felt like I was surrounded by actors, with the sound of footsteps pacing around me and whispers seemingly delivered directly into my ears. Ascending and descending lighting grids illuminated and framed the space. Best of all, I shared the experience with masked strangers, who I could observe from tete-a-tete seating, sitting in anticipation, many with their arms looped around their pod partners."Observing the show with our shared community and being in the presence of others really makes it feel familiar," says Potter. "It is a live experience — we're engaged with the community as this story unfolds."The experience of attending Blindness was not only a homecoming to the theatre, but also a soft return to society and the world outside my apartment. Blindness offers a message of how to slowly, softly reemerge in a community in a post-epidemic world. I entered the theatre jittering with excitement, and I left more ready for the months of recovery that lie ahead."The subject matter intersects and explores the subject of a pandemic, but I will heartfully say that the show is not about a pandemic," says Potter. "It's really about how we respond to each other, how we care for each other, and how we value each other. It's a call for radical empathy in this world right now."Blindness&nbsp;is playing at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/daryl-roth-theatre">Daryl Roth Theatre</a> through September 5.&nbsp;Photo credit:&nbsp;Blindness at the Donmar Warehouse (Photo by Helen Maybanks)

Victoria Pedretti has joined the Broadway cast of [*An Enemy of the People*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/29430-an-enemy-of-the-people-tickets) at the [Circle in the Square Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/circle-in-the-square-theatre), playing a limited 16-week engagement beginning February 27.

Pedretti, primarily a television actress, is best known for her critically acclaimed performances as Love Quinn in *You*, Nell Crain in *The Haunting of Hill House*, and Dani Clayton in *The Haunting of Bly Manor*. Now, she makes her Broadway debut as Petra Stockmann in the latest revival of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, newly adapted by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award nominee Amy Herzog.

The *Enemy of the People* Broadway cast also includes the [previously announced](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/michael-imperioli-joins-jeremy-strong-in-enemy-of-the-people-broadway-cast) [Jeremy Strong](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jeremy-strong) as Dr. Thomas Stockmann and [Michael Imperioli](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/michael-imperioli), also in his Broadway debut, as Peter Stockmann. Complete casting has yet to be announced.

Directed by Tony winner Sam Gold, *An Enemy of the People* centers on Thomas Stockmann, a doctor who calls out contaminated water in his town's spa baths. But instead of being hailed for saving lives, he becomes the target of hate for upending the town's economy and reputation.

The musical also features a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, set design by Robert Brill, costume design by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Gareth Owen, projection design by Peter Nigrini, hair and wig design by Mia Neal, orchestrations by Tom Kitt and Adam Blackstone, arrangements by Keys and Blackstone, and music consultation by Kitt.

*Hell's Kitchen* is currently premiering off Broadway at [The Public Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater), where it runs through January 14. New York Theatre Guide's four-star [review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/hells-kitchen-off-broadway-review-alicia-keys) reads, "Under Michael Greif's direction, Keys's home neighborhood is a living, pulsing, vibrant soundscape."

The cast of *Hell's Kitchen* off Broadway includes Shoshana Bean as Jersey, Chad Carstarphen as Ray, Brandon Victor Dixon as Davis, Vanessa Ferguson as Tiny, Crystal Monee Hall as Crystal, Chris Lee as Knuck, Jackie Leon as Jessica, Kecia Lewis as Miss Liza Jane, Maleah Joi Moon as Ali, Mariand Torres as Maria, and Lamont Walker II as Riq.

[Danny DeVito](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-devito)'s return to Broadway, in the new comedy play [*I Need That*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28198-i-need-that-on-broadway), is an event unto itself. "It's exciting as can be," he said, a statement his many fans would likely echo.

But there's only one thing more exciting than a DeVito on stage, and that's two DeVitos on stage.

The Emmy-winning, Tony-nominated star of *Taxi* and *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia* now performs opposite Lucy DeVito, his daughter with a sizable stage and screen resume of her own. Fittingly, they play father and daughter through December 30 in *I Need That* — albeit a father, Sam, with a hoarding problem that requires his daughter Amelia's intervention lest he face eviction.

Working together for weeks on end might cause similar tension in some families, especially ones who've never shared the stage. Danny DeVito has only been on Broadway once before, in 2017's *The Price*, and Lucy DeVito is making her debut. But their offstage relationship is stronger than ever.

"To hang out with her every day for months doing the rehearsals, and now doing the play every night, I just can't wait to go to work," Danny DeVito said.

"Working with my dad has brought me and him closer," Lucy DeVito echoed. "We're buddies! He's my best friend! We're having so much fun."

She went on to describe her dad as "the funniest dude ever," but when asked what he admires about his daughter, the elder DeVito got more thoughtful. "I always admire her because she has a great work ethic," he said. "She's very funny and she's genuine and loving, but she also takes it very seriously."

Their bond is apparent to everyone else involved in *I Need That*, too, including Ray Anthony Thomas, who stars opposite the DeVitos as a longtime friend of Sam's; playwright Theresa Rebeck; and director Moritz von Stuelpnagel (he and Rebeck are another dynamic duo, having collaborated five times before).

"If somebody discovers something in their performance, the other one will often break character because they're so proud to see what they've come up with," von Stuelpnagel said. "I have to remind them, 'Stay in character!'"

He may joke about the DeVitos derailing his rehearsals, but he sincerely added, "That joy and admiration and respect has been infectious to the whole room."

Lance Foster and Suzy Jane Hunt, who understudy Thomas and Lucy DeVito, respectively, attested to that, too. "It's rare to see family members work together, let alone family members from different generations," Foster noted. "I've never seen a mother and a daughter or a father and a daughter [perform together on Broadway]."

"It makes me miss my dad, honestly, to watch them interact, and the way you can't quite tell if they're acting, running a scene, or chatting in the corners," Hunt added.

But as much as the DeVitos's stage collaboration is a monumental occasion, hearing them talk about how they "goof off all the time" (Lucy's words) and share cannolis backstage (one of their many weekly rituals, also including a taco Tuesday), you'd think they were simply spending ordinary quality time like any other father and daughter.

Said Lucy DeVito: "We are able to talk about the work, and then we're able to leave that aside, and then my family's going to come, and we're all going to have Thanksgiving."

<h2>The Magic Flute</h2>

The Magic Flute continues The Metropolitan Opera's annual tradition of presenting abridged, English-language operas around the holidays to bring in family audiences. The opera starts off like many classic fairytales, with a prince sent by a queen to rescue a princess in distress. He's helped along in his quest by the titular charmed instrument, which turns sadness into joy when he plays it. Once he rescues the princess, however, the two realize her captor is actually kind and wise, and it's the queen that needs to be defeated.

## *The Night of the Iguana*

No one's life is the same after a group of people are stuck at a cheap Acapulco hotel during one stormy night. And what a cast there is under that roof in the latest revival of Tennessee Williams's classic play. Tim Daly, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Lea DeLaria, Austin Pendleton, and Jean Lichty star under the direction of Tony Award winner Emily Mann.

## *I Need That*

If you need to see [Danny DeVito](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-devito) on stage, this is your last chance, because *I Need That* closes December 30. The Emmy Award-winning actor stars as Sam, a widower with a hoarding problem that he needs to fix — or else get evicted. In this show about finding the treasure amid the trash, DeVito stars alongside his daughter, Lucy DeVito, and Ray Anthony Thomas.

## *Some Like It Hot*

Some like it hot, and hot is what they've got for you — but only through December 30. See the four-time Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of the classic Billy Wilder film, with old-fashioned musical comedy flair and a fresh story update. When musicians Joe and Jerry escape the mob by going undercover with an all-female swing band, they learn a thing or two about their truest selves.

## *I Can Get It For You Wholesale*

That title sounds like music to a holiday gift-buyer's ears, no? Well, don't trust Harry Bogen if he says it to you. The lead character of this rarely revived classic, last seen on Broadway in 1962, is a Garment District worker who will do anything — and betray anyone — to get to the top. The revival runs through December 17.
