<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.

Top theatre to see in New York in December | New York Theatre Guide

Read our picks for must-see Broadway and Off-Broadway theatre in December 2023, including the year's last fall Broadway productions and holiday-themed shows.

[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."

I Need That on Broadway

I Need That (1)

Golden Globe winner Danny DeVito stars in *I Need That*, the newest comedy from Theresa Rebeck that kicks off Roundabout Theatre Company's 2023-24 Broadway season. Get *I Need That* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

In Rebeck's *I Need That* play, DeVito plays Sam, a reclusive hoarder who prefers the company of his things to the company of people. But when threatened with eviction if he doesn't clean up his place, Sam must finally decide what's trash and what's treasure. The distinction, it turns out, is muddy.

*I Need That* is the fifth Broadway play of Theresa Rebeck, following *Mauritius*, *Seminar*, *Dead Accounts*, and *Bernhardt/Hamlet*. Rebeck has written more than 40 full-length plays and one-acts that have appeared off Broadway and beyond. Her play *Omnium Gatherum* was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

In *I Need That* on Broadway, DeVito stars opposite his daughter, Lucy DeVito. The play is Danny DeVito's second Broadway gig after 2017's *The Price* (which earned him a Best Featured Actor Tony nomination) and is Lucy DeVito's Broadway debut.

## What has Danny DeVito been in?

Danny DeVito has appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows during his 50-plus-year career. He is best known for his Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning performance as Louie De Palma in *Taxi* and, currently, as Frank Reynolds in *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*. He is also a director and producer of films including *Matilda*.

Tickets to *I Need That* in New York are available now.

I Need That Broadway Tickets | Starring Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito returns to Broadway in Theresa Rebeck's new play stuffed with laughs and heart. As the reclusive hoarder Sam, who's forced to finally clean up his act and his home, he searches for the difference between trash and treasure.

Danny DeVito first revealed his involvement in *I Need That* in 2022, when he and his daughter Lucy participated in a reading at the Dorset Theater Festival in Vermont.

DeVito is best known for playing Louie De Palma in the sitcom *Taxi*, earning Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. His other best-known credits, on and behind the screen, include *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia* (as Frank Reynolds), *Hercules* (as the voice of Philoctetes) and *Matilda* (as Harry Wormwood, director, and producer). His Hollywood career has steadily continued since 1970, and he earned a Tony Award nomination for his 2017 Broadway debut in *The Price*.

That play was an Arthur Miller revival. Now, DeVito works with a contemporary playwright: Theresa Rebeck. She has had four previous plays on Broadway — *Bernhardt/Hamlet*, *Mauritius*, *Dead Accounts*, and *Seminar* — and has written more than 40 that have appeared off Broadway, nationally, and internationally. She's a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play *Omnium Gatherum*, which she co-wrote with Alexandra Gersten-Vassilaros.

## What to watch for

- Danny DeVito stars opposite his daughter, Lucy DeVito, in *I Need That* on Broadway. She's making her Broadway debut, but she has performed off Broadway in *Love, Loss and What I Wore* and *Hot Mess*.
- Moritz von Stuelpnagel, who directed Rebeck's *Bernhardt/Hamlet* on Broadway in 2018, also directs *I Need That*. Both productions also happened with Roundabout Theatre Company.
- Rebeck inspired the character of Broadway writer Julia Houston, played by Debra Messing, on the 2011 NBC show *Smash*. Rebeck was also a writer on the show.
- Danny DeVito has appeared in multiple productions off Broadway, making his debut with *Shoot Anything With Hair That Moves* and *The Man With the Flower in His Mouth* in 1969. He made his West End debut in 2012 with *The Sunshine Boys* in London.

See Danny DeVito return to the stage in this new comedy by Theresa Rebeck. Opposite his daughter Lucy, he stars as Sam, a reclusive hoarder who must clean up his home and his life or risk facing eviction — and makes some treasured discoveries in the process.

I Need That - NYC - GS

Danny DeVito stars opposite his daughter Lucy in Theresa Rebeck’s new comedy-drama that navigates the fine line between trash and treasure. When reclusive hoarder Sam is threatened with eviction, he has to clean up or risk losing more than just his home.

The vintage board game Sorry! wasn't designed to be played alone. Leave it to Emmy winner [Danny DeVito](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-devito), who shines as the aimless widow Sam in *I Need That*, to turn the unlikely moment into a theatrical highlight that’s silly, sad, and, no joke, poetic. 

After all, it’s an original way of indicating Sam is knee-deep in sorrow. He’s also buried in clutter, one more ratty afghan shy of being a shut-in hoarder. 

Otherwise, Theresa Rebeck’s wispy comedy about love, loss, and coping with the aftermath, is all too expected. It seeks to say something significant and memorable but doesn’t quite get there.

Early on in the Roundabout Theatre Company production, which runs about 100 intermissionless minutes, we learn Sam is up against the clock. His nosy New Jersey neighbor peeked through his windows, photographed his hell house, and contacted the authorities. Set designer Alexander Dodge’s residential setting neatly captures the chaos of books, blankets, magazines, old appliances, dishes — you name it. 

Sam has ignored official warning letters. The fire department is coming in a week, and his home will be condemned. Sam, a walking unmade bed, will be on the streets. But Sam is moved to inaction.

Rebeck (*Bernhardt/Hamlet*, *Seminar*) is a witty writer. She initially plays the circumstances for laughs. “You have to figure out what you want to keep, and what you can let go,” Sam says. “It’s like *Sophie’s Choice*.”

His bossy but well-meaning daughter, Amelia (Lucy DeVito, the daughter of the show’s star), who’s hunting for a job and has issues of her own, loudly disagrees. She says it’s the final scene in *Carrie*, “where the house is so full of terrible things it just sucks itself into the earth.”

Foster (Ray Anthony Thomas), Sam’s only friend, shows support by popping in regularly with croissants and hamburgers. The generosity is a smoke screen. Foster uses his visits to snatch valuables – pieces of jewelry, collectible treasures – when he thinks Sam isn’t looking. But Sam knows what Foster is up to and doesn’t care. 

Sam is adrift from the loss of his beloved wife, Ginny, who died three years earlier. He has tried to preserve every book, knickknack, ancient TV set, parlor game, and trinket that holds any recollection of Ginny. She “disappeared” into what’s never named but sounds like Alzheimer’s.

At this point the mood turns serious. The cast, directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, hugs the tonal contours skillfully. From the get-go, it’s a safe bet that Sam and his home will transform. Thanks to a late-in-the-game twist, he also gets a shot to step up as a dad. 

In the end, *I Need That* is pleasant but leaves you wanting. “Things don’t give your life meaning. People do,” Amelia declares, as if it’s a newsflash. Sorry — it doesn't take a play to know that.

'I Need That' review — Danny DeVito holds tight to the spotlight in shining performance

i need that-1200x600-NYTG

Read our review of *I Need That* on Broadway, a new play by Theresa Rebeck starring Danny DeVito, at the American Airlines Theatre through December 30.

The American Airlines Theatre was originally designed by George Keister as an Italian Renaissance-style theatre. The venue opened in 1918 as the Selwyn Theatre, named for its developers, Edgar and Archibald Selwyn. The first show to play there was Jane Cowl's *Information Please*.

Over the course of its history, the building has been used as a theatre, a cinema, and a visitor center until it fell into a derelict state of disrepair. Roundabout Theatre Company took ownership of the venue in 1997, but the building collapsed, so the company rebuilt the Selwyn as part of the New 42nd Street Building in 1999. The theatre was renamed for American Airlines on June 30, 2000; the company donated $8.5 million to help cover renovation costs.

## How to get to the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway

The American Airlines Theatre is situated on 42nd Street between Eighth Avenue and Broadway. By subway, it is accessible by the A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, and S lines to 42nd Street.

Danny DeVito and his daughter, Lucy DeVito, join forces in Theresa Rebeck's play, which marks the younger DeVito's Broadway debut and the elder's return.

Harold Prince, affectionately known within the industry as "Hal," went down in history as the driving force — either as director, producer, or both — behind some of the 20th century's most beloved musicals. *West Side Story*. *Fiddler on the Roof*. [*Cabaret*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32847-cabaret-tickets). [*Sweeney Todd*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26216-sweeney-todd-on-broadway-tickets). *The Phantom of the Opera*. The list goes on for miles.

But before any of those were storied classics, they were unknown, original musicals breaking into a busy Broadway scene. New works were Prince's bread-and-butter throughout his career, right up until his death in 2019. Truly, *right* up: Mere days before his passing, he was reportedly giving notes on his final project, the musical [*How to Dance in Ohio*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32763-how-to-dance-in-ohio-tickets), which debuted on Broadway on November 15.

Based on Alexandra Shiva's 2015 documentary of the same name, *How to Dance in Ohio* dramatizes the stories of autistic young adults preparing for a spring formal dance, part of a social skills program at their group counseling center. Shiva was inspired to make the documentary to not only [celebrate autistic people](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/how-to-dance-in-ohio-pioneers-a-more-accessible-broadway) and their coming of age, but also shed light on the challenges they face as they begin to age out of institutional support. 

One such autistic person who inspired this project? Lucy Chaplin, Prince's now-25-year-old granddaughter.

She is not a character in the show or a subject in the documentary, but the film is dedicated to her. Prince, similarly, wanted to produce a Broadway show about autism in her honor. And it just so happened that, through a seemingly destined chain of events, *Ohio* came full-circle to land on his desk.

It was 2017 when Shiva approved writers Jacob Yandura and Rebekah Greer Melocik to musicalize *Ohio*. "Around the same time, we met Ben Holtzman and Sammy Lopez, who are two [of *Ohio*'s] early producers," Yandura recalled. "They were looking for a show to just start from the ground up."

"Ben was working in the Hal Prince office, and Hal said he wanted to do a show about autism. And Ben was like, 'Well, I think we have the right people for you.'"

![hal prince-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/2TqH1EjPXGWObl55B7vnv6/66a011b51c18319bdf6f8d44dae31695/hal_prince-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

Prince almost immediately signed on to direct, and he, Yandura, and Melocik worked closely on *How to Dance in Ohio* for the next two years. Prince staged early workshops. He took detailed notes in the margins of three copies of the script. He, the writers, and the producers recorded every meeting they had about the show.

"He gave us all of his wisdom right from the beginning," Yandura said. And suddenly, on July 31, 2019, that written and recorded wisdom, and the team's memories of their collaboration, were all that was left.

Director Sammi Cannold eventually took over the reins from Prince thanks to Yandura, who invited her for a coffee meeting via Instagram that led to an interview for the job. Like Prince, she has an autistic relative (her brother) and was already familiar with the documentary.

"I was very daunted and humbled by the potential task of picking up where this legend left off," Cannold remembered. "Those [recordings and notes] have been my north star as I've been working through the show and trying to honor the vision of what he intended this piece to be, while, of course, never actually being him."

"To make my Broadway debut while trying to uphold that that vision has been the greatest honor," she continued. Yandura, Melocik, and a majority of the [principal cast](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/meet-the-cast-of-how-to-dance-in-ohio-on-broadway) make their Broadway debuts alongside her, too, after they finally premiered the completed show in Syracuse in 2022.

Considering Prince's passion for new work and talent, *How to Dance in Ohio* seems like it turned out just as he'd have wanted.

Dance on over to the Belasco Theatre for *How to Dance in Ohio*, the uplifting new musical about change, confidence, self-discovery, love, and of course, dance. Get *How to Dance in Ohio* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

The *How to Dance in Ohio* musical is based on director Alexandra Shiva's documentary of the same name, which follows seven autistic adults preparing for a spring formal dance at an Ohio group counseling center. In the process, they learn valuable social skills, change up their routines, and experience love, stress, and independence as they never have before.

The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on HBO in 2015 and won a Peabody Award the following year. News of a musical adaptation first surfaced in 2018, with legendary Broadway director/producer Harold Prince tapped to direct. Upon his 2019 death, Sammi Cannold, known for directing productions at multiple major stages across the U.S., assumed the role of director.

Cannold now makes her Broadway debut with *How to Dance in Ohio* in New York, and she's not the only one. Bookwriter/lyricist Rebekah Greer Melocik, composer Jacob Yandura, and choreographer Mayte Natalio make their debuts as well alongside the seven autistic lead actors, all reprising their roles from the musical's world premiere in Syracuse, New York in 2022.

Dance and sing for the musical adaptation of Alexandra Shiva's Peabody Award-winning documentary of the same name. Go along with seven autistic adults as they prepare for a spring formal dance — and in the process, find new courage and confidence as they change up their everyday lives.

The *How to Dance in Ohio* musical takes place at a counseling center in the capital city of Columbus, where the young adults prepare for a spring dance as part of a social skills workshop for people with autism. In the process, not only do they learn new skills and make progress, but they experience the hallmarks of coming of age — love, stress, confidence, self-discovery — in surprising and extra-meaningful ways.

Director Alexandra Shiva's documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015, with an HBO release following. Shiva won the Peabody Award for her work the following year, and it wasn't long until the idea of a musical came about.

Bookwriter/lyricist Rebekah Greer Melocik and composer Jacob Yandura had the idea to adapt Shiva's film for the stage. A 2022 world premiere in Syracuse preceded the *How to Dance in Ohio* Broadway premiere. Sammi Cannold — known for her New York City Center production of *Evita* — directs, and Mayte Natalio choreographs.

## What to watch for

- Legendary director/producer Harold Prince helped edit the script of *How to Dance in Ohio* and was originally set to direct. Though he died in 2019, his research and artistic contributions remain.
- The entire lead creative team — both writers, director, and choreographer — and the seven lead actors of *How to Dance in Ohio* are all making their Broadway debuts.
- All seven actors who play autistic characters are autistic.
- *How to Dance in Ohio* has an autistic creative consultant, Ava Xiao-Lin Rigelhaupt, and a director of community engagement, Becky Leifman, on its production team to ensure the show is accessible to and engaging with audiences, and to tell the stories of its autistic subjects authentically and respectfully.

The Belasco Theatre originally opened as the Stuyvesant Theatre on October 16, 1907 with a production of *A Grand Army Man*. The Belasco Theatre was designed by George Keister for impresario David Belasco, who renamed the theatre for himself in 1910.

The first production to be staged under the theatre's new name was *The Lily*, an adaptation by Belasco of Leroux's *Le Lys*. In 1931, the theatre was leased to Katherine Cornell, and the Shubert Organization purchased it in 1948. From 1949 to 1953, the building was leased to NBC for broadcasting, before it was once again used as a traditional theatre.

The Belasco, located on 44th St. near the corner of Sixth Avenue, is the easternmost Broadway theatre.

The late, 21-time Tony Award-winning director and producer was heavily involved in the musical's development and was set to direct the show before his death.

She's livin' it up on top! Grammy Award winner Ani DiFranco will make her Broadway debut in [*Hadestown*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/14748-hadestown-tickets), beginning on February 9 at the [Walter Kerr Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/walter-kerr-theatre).

Known as the "Little Folksinger," DiFranco is known for being one of the first musical artists to create her own record label, Righteous Babe Records, in the 1990s. She has performed with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Brandi Carlile, and more, and her best-known albums include *Little Plastic Castle* and 2021's *Revolutionary Love*.

DiFranco's history with *Hadestown* began in 2010, when creator Anaïs Mitchell was first making *Hadestown* into a concept album. DiFranco originated the role of Persephone on the album and invited Mitchell to release it through Righteous Babe Records.

Now, DiFranco will play Persephone on stage, replacing fellow musician [Betty Who](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/betty-who), who departs the show on February 4. The *Hadestown* Broadway cast also includes [Jordan Fisher](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jordan-fisher) as Orpheus, Lillias White as Hermes, Phillip Boykin as Hades, Solea Pfeiffer as Eurydice, and Lindsey Hailes, Belén Moyano, and Brit West as the Fates.

*Hadestown* reimagines the Greek myths of Orpheus, Eurydice, Hades, Persephone, and more as a tragic love story with a folk and jazz sound. Upon premiering on Broadway in 2019, the show won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score for Mitchell, and Best Direction of a Musical for Rachel Chavkin.

Hadestown on Broadway

[Poster] Hadestown 14748

The titular Hadestown isn’t hell itself, but Hades's soulless factory, which is close enough. When Orpheus descends there, he comes face to face with the ruler of the underworld, who has tricked his underlings into building a wall to keep the world out, and his servants — and Persephone — in. Guiding him along with advice, warnings of danger, and haunting vocals are the messenger god Hermes and the three Fates.

*Hadestown* has gone on a long and winding journey of its own. The show began in writer Anaïs Mitchell’s home state of Vermont, where she staged the first two productions in 2006 and launched a Vermont-Massachusetts tour of the show in 2007. A concept album followed in 2010, preserving the music when the show’s future was unknown.

Enter Rachel Chavkin, who Mitchell reached out to in 2012 after seeing an early production of the musical *Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812* directed by Chavkin. Chavkin helped Mitchell rework and refine *Hadestown*’s songs and book for the stage, and went on to direct the subsequent productions. 

*Hadestown* premiered in 2016 at New York Theatre Workshop, and the show went on to play in Edmonton, Canada in 2017 and at the National Theatre in London in 2019.

Finally, *Hadestown* was ready to heat up Broadway, led again by Chavkin, premiering in 2019 and earning 14 Tony nominations that year. *Hadestown* won eight, including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical for Chavkin, and Best Original Score for Mitchell.

## What to watch for

- Since the *Hadestown* concept album, Mitchell has doubled the show’s amount of music. The concept album has 20 songs, and the Broadway cast album has 40.
- *Hadestown* is one of many popular musicals to start as a concept album — others include *The Who's Tommy*, *American Idiot*, and *Jesus Christ Superstar*.
- *Hadestown* has since added to its collection of albums: there’s a Broadway cast recording, a live Off-Broadway cast recording, and an EP titled *Why We Build The Wall*, with selections from the Off-Broadway album. Two songs that would eventually appear in *Hadestown* — "Hades & Persephone" and an early version of "How Long?" — are also included in Mitchell’s 2007 folk album *The Brightness*.
- Mitchell is also a prolific songwriter with nine total albums to her name, including an eponymous album, the folksy *Hymns for the Exiled*, and *Young Man in America*, which has a similar New Orleans jazz sound as *Hadestown*’s music.
- Since its Off-Broadway production, the setting of the show has been changed from an outdoor setting — the sacred ground near an old tree — to an indoor one, an old Southern communion hall.
- Greek mythology isn’t the only spiritual influence seen in *Hadestown* on Broadway. The character of Hermes is based in part on the Greek god, but also on Hoodoo and other African spiritual traditions.
- There are lots of small references to characters and events from Greek mythology in the show’s lyrics. For example, the lyric “See how the vipers and vultures surround you / And they’ll take you down” is a reference to how, in the original myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, she is killed by a snake.

The show has journeyed far and wide and, since 2019, Hadestown on Broadway has transformed the Walter Kerr Theatre into the jazzy, seductive underworld. The stage musical began its life in the mind of celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, who turned her idea into a 2010 folk opera concept album. However, songs from the album were performed in her native state of Vermont several times back in 2006 and 2007 as a kind of "D.I.Y. theatre project," as the singer herself described it.

Its current form began to take shape after Mitchell approached Tony Award-nominated director Rachel Chavkin in 2012 following a visit to Chavkin's groundbreaking production of the immersive musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. Together, the pair developed the stage musical, with Mitchell adding 15 new songs and additional dialogue to fill the gaps in the story line and allow deeper characterizations.

Finally, Hadestown was ready to stage its world premiere in May 2016 at New York Theatre Workshop off Broadway, and huge critical acclaim and audience reactions got the run extended to the end of July 2016. The production was also rewarded with a Drama Desk nomination in the category of Outstanding Musical in 2017, along with seven Lucille Lortel Award nominations.

Hadestown made two more stops on its journey to Broadway, with a Canadian premiere at Edmonton's Citadel Theatre in November 2017 and a U.K. premiere at London's National Theatre the following year. The Broadway transfer was officially confirmed during that run, and Hadestown in New York won eight Tony Awards out of 14 nominations, including Best Musical.

This "Road to Hell" may have been a long and winding one that has taken Mitchell and Chavkin over a decade to walk, but the theatrical outcome is heavenly.

## What is *Hadestown* about?

The Hadestown musical is a genre-defying adaptation of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, now in a Depression-era-inspired setting and set to jazz and folk music. The pair's romance gets thwarted when Eurydice, seeing no other options for survival, agrees to work for underworld god Hades in his soulless factory. Orpheus undertakes a dangerous journey to rescue her. Their story is intertwined with the myth of Hades and his own wife, Persephone, and other mythic figures, like the god Hermes and the Fates, also make appearances.

## How long is *Hadestown*?

*Hadestown* runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission.

This winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical updates ancient Greek legends with jazz and folk tunes. When poor worker Eurydice descends to Hades' bleak factory to survive, her lover Orpheus journeys far to save her. The show weaves diverse influences into a compelling, unique narrative.

Going to hell has never been as much fun as seeing a performance of Anaïs Mitchell's musical <a href="/show/hadestown">Hadestown</a>, now playing at the <a href="/theatres/walter-kerr-theatre">Walter Kerr Theatre</a>.&nbsp;And don't let its origins in Greek mythology scare you off because there's a built-in narrator in the form of the god Hermes (André De Shields) whose job was to guide souls into the afterlife.&nbsp;In Hadestown, his first task is to introduce all the characters in a rollicking number "Road to Hell."Mitchell, the talented singer/songwriter who is responsible for the whole shebang, music, lyrics and book, has intertwined the myth of Orpheus (Reeve Carney), son of the God Apollo and muse Calliope and Eurydice (Eva Noblezada), wood nymph; with that of Hades (Patrick Page), god of the underworld and Persephone (Amber Gray), daughter of the god Zeus and goddess of the harvest Demeter.&nbsp;The story that unfolds in Hadestown is that Hades falls in lust with Persephone and abducts her to the underworld where they fall in love and marry.&nbsp;Demeter is so distraught she declares that there will be no more growth or harvest until Persephone returns.&nbsp;Zeus brokers a deal whereby Persephone spends 6 months out of the year above ground and 6 months out of the year below, thus creating the seasons. So, Persephone rides a train back and forth between the underworld known as Hadestown where she's the only living soul, and the world above.&nbsp;But Hades keeps shortening her time up above because he misses her.&nbsp;And the earth gets colder.Meanwhile, Orpheus is trying to write a song that will restore order to the seasons when he runs across Eurydice, with a little help from Hermes and The Fates (Jewelle Blackman, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer, Kay Trinidad), who is wandering around cold and hungry.&nbsp;She's initially unimpressed until he starts singing.&nbsp;In the only off note in the production, they fall in love (unfortunately no chemistry between the two - Reeve Carney is a little too much of a hesitant milquetoast to be a believable love interest for the determined and charming Eva Noblezada) and marry.&nbsp;Whereupon Orpheus immediately goes back to songwriting and neglects Eurydice.So, what's a poor, once again cold and hungry girl to do?&nbsp;Where does she go to get warm?&nbsp;You guessed it, Hadestown.&nbsp;Where Eurydice becomes one of the poor lost souls in the underworld, trapped behind the wall Hades has erected. And explains in the Act One finale "Why We Build The Wall" that brings down the house.&nbsp;If I didn't know that Mitchell wrote the score in 2010, I'd swear she wrote it within the last two years.I won't spoil the second act except to say that it's about Orpheus' trip to Hadestown to find Eurydice to try to rescue her.&nbsp;And that Michael Krass' costumes for the Chorus in the underworld are outstanding, as is the visually stunning dance number choreographed by David Neumann done with headlamps and swinging lights.&nbsp;And if the love story between Orpheus and Eurydice didn't smolder, Patrick Page and Amber Gray set the house on fire as Orpheus and Persephone. Their song "How Long?" and the dance that went with it had me melting in my second row seat when I saw both of them crying.&nbsp;Be still my heart.(Photo by Matthew Murphy)<div class="block block-block contextual-links-region " id="block-block-9"><div class="block-inner clearfix"><div class="block-title"><h2>WHAT THE OTHER CRITICS SAID</h2></div></div></div>"All your favorite Greeks are heading somewhere in&nbsp;Hadestown,&nbsp;the sumptuous, hypnotic and somewhat hyperactive musical that opened on Wednesday night after its own twisty 13-year road to Broadway."

Review of Hadestown on Broadway

Eva Noblezada, André De Shields & Reeve Carney in Hadestown

Designed by Herbert J. Krapp for the Shubert Brothers, the Walter Kerr Theatre opened as the The Ritz Theatre in 1921. The venue functioned as a radio and television studio for ABC from 1943 to 1965. Ownership changed hands multiple times between the 1950s and 1970s, during which time the building operated as a traditional theatre and an adult movie cinema. The Ritz then housed the Robert F. Kennedy Theater for Children from 1973-76.

Jujamcyn Theaters took ownership in 1980 and, after renovations, reopened the theatre on March 5, 1990 under its new name in honor of the theatre critic Walter Kerr. The first production was August Wilson's *The Piano Lesson*. In 2021, Jujamcyn celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Walter Kerr Theatre.

The Grammy Award-winning musician, who originated the role of Persephone on the show's initial concept album, will now play the role at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

The company of the new Broadway musical [*How to Dance in Ohio*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32763-how-to-dance-in-ohio-tickets) has a saying: "If you've met one autistic individual, you've met one autistic individual." The show centers on the coming-of-age stories of seven autistic, young adults preparing for a formal dance, and no two of their experiences, journeys, or milestones are the same. So it goes, too, for the people playing them.

All seven actors starring in *Ohio* reprise their roles from the 2022 Syracuse world premiere of the musical, which in turn are based on real people from an award-winning documentary by Alexandra Shiva. The young actors are all making their Broadway debuts, and most importantly, they're all autistic. 

"We were able to bring our natural selves into these characters," actor Conor Tague said. "The fact that autistic people are playing autistic characters is growing — it started off with Kayla Cromer for *Everything's Gonna Be Okay*, and now we're next."

The principal cast also includes four neurotypical actors, three of whom are Broadway veterans, making *Ohio* truly diverse in every sense of the word — in neurotype, race, gender, age, and experience level. Said Tague, "This is the kind of representation we all need."

Get to know the cast of *How to Dance in Ohio*, who share more about their characters, how they relate (and don't relate) to them, and fun facts about themselves as performers.

## Desmond Luis Edwards

Many actors say they bring themselves to their characters, but for Edwards, as the character Remy, it was partly the other way around.

__Who they play:__ Remy is an avid cosplayer and really into fashion and costumes and makeup. My character just started a cosplay channel, and he's trying to get a little bit of recognition, but this recognition comes in some unexpected ways, and now he has to learn how to cope with that.

__What they love about their character:__ I love to do digital art and fashion design, and I actually picked up cosplay because my character does cosplay. Both my character and I are very artistic as well as autistic!

__Fun fact:__ I am one of the first openly intersex people to be on Broadway.

![amelia-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4SpCLOwzDPCPFhhRWBcM6O/5b46dfdac5e24ad589d0bd82374cae62/amelia-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Amelia (Yi-Hsuan) Fei

When describing what playing her character, Caroline, taught her, Fei referenced Stephen Sondheim's *Into the Woods*: "Nice is different than good."

__Who she plays:__ Caroline is a freshman in college, and she just got her first boyfriend. She's very excited — her special interest is romance, loves *Bridgerton*, the Regency [Era]. She pictured her life in a certain way and then realizes, "I thought having a boyfriend is so wonderful, but I don't know how to set boundaries."

__What she loves about her character:__ [Caroline] is truly someone who'll heal [my] inner child. It's just such a delight to play her.

__Fun fact:__ I used to have "bark like a chihuahua" under my special skills [on my resume], and I'm very proud of that skill!

![liam-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4okAfWtqGApltnqEL05Mf4/d7652b22a50cc99a5626f074bbf39a01/liam_actual-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Liam Pearce

Pearce makes his Broadway debut as Drew, an empath who just wants the best for his friends — which seems like the vibe between the cast off stage as well.

__Who he plays:__ Drew tackles situations or struggles that he has in a straightforward, step-by-step format. He cares a lot about his friends — he can tell you what is going on in every one of his friends' lives because he's so adamant [about] listening and observing.

__What he loves about his character:__ The way he develops feelings for Marideth throughout the show is very similar to the way I develop crushes on people. Watching the ways that he tries to speak to her and his struggle and accomplishments with that is fascinating.

__Fun fact:__ I am making my Broadway debut playing opposite a person who is a foot and a half shorter than me.

![madison-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4LWETwokYKjaj2AZGiousT/926acdbaf9d315b5d0185b151edada65/madison-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Madison Kopec

Kopec's Marideth is the quietest of the bunch, but over the course of *Ohio*, she learns how to reach out to others — and finds unexpected friendship and love along the way.

__Who they play:__ Marideth keeps to herself most of the time unless she gets going on something she's interested in, like geography — then she could talk your ear off forever.

__What they love about their character:__ She and I are very similar in our journey to adulthood and figuring out, "Okay, I'm 18. Now what?" That story is going to be relatable for people.

__Fun fact:__ I am playing opposite someone who is a foot and a half taller than me.

![imani-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/6KfjTrir971kJ7P8I6uxmB/d9b0e5f367686a31bf03c6b261f6d0ee/imani-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Imani Russell

Russell makes their Broadway debut as Mel, the only one of the seven main characters without a direct real-life counterpart. The character is a composite of multiple people — including Russell.

__Who they play:__ I play Mel. They love reptiles, they're a very spiritual person, they love quotes. They're the only character we see of the seven autistic principals that has a job and is living on their own. That is super important for me to portray as someone in a similar position.

__What they love about their character:__ I was able to have a lot of conversations with Rebekah [Greer Melocik], the writer, about autism and its relationship to queerness and how that has affected me. She was so willing to implement that into the character, which means a lot to me and will also mean a lot to [my] queer and trans/non-binary friends who are also autistic.

__Fun fact:__ I'm a classically trained singer, so I started out singing opera and arias. Now I'm doing musical theatre!

![conor-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/27RNr3Evn9ZrNtfNYXUuvT/ebac256a832411cce7128202ea4f4e95/conor-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Conor Tague

Tague moved to New York just a few weeks before *Ohio* rehearsals to play Tommy. "I lived in Florida and I had a lot of trouble back there," he said. "I'm really happy to be in New York and to be making my Broadway debut and to have a reason to come up here and live my authentic self."

__Who he plays:__ Tommy's goal is to become a licensed driver, and he wants to borrow his brother's truck for practice. His brother doesn't want him to do that, but that ain't gonna stop him.

__What he loves about his character:__ Tommy, like me, is a comic book nerd. He loves Marvel and DC and sci-fi/fantasy, like *Star Wars* and *Lord of the Rings*. But there is one major difference between me and Tommy: Tommy wants to be a licensed driver. But not me. I'm good with the subway.

__Fun fact:__ I also do puppetry. I was inspired by John Tartaglia, who's widely known for *Avenue Q*. I met John when I was 15, and he knows about our show!

![ashley-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/5UTcwgKnUxg7kurObtuLTn/891c3ae9ef5fcb49eb6aad5f3cc163bc/ashley-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Ashley Wool

Rounding out the septet of autistic leads is Ashley Wool, making her Broadway debut as the strong-willed Jessica.

__Who she plays:__ Jessica is a young woman who is really determined and ambitious to check off all of the necessary boxes of adulthood. She's really dedicated to going to therapy, to make sure she's doing everything expected of her, and a large part of her character is learning that nothing happens on an exact timeline for everybody. She's watching her best friend have her first boyfriend, and she has some feelings about that.

__What she loves about her character:__ [She learns that] everyone's timeline is different. Everyone's story is different. Everybody's milestones are different.

__Fun fact:__ I still have a grody old piece of wood from my high school production of *Footloose* 20 years ago. It's in my New York City apartment, and I'm planning to put it in the dressing room.

![caesar-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/79GNx83Z8O510j8dgiqaFn/5658dd0022508ab0b515d51b2fdecadb/caesar-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Caesar Samayoa

Samayoa comes to *How to Dance in Ohio* from another Broadway musical inspired by a true story, *Come From Away*, in which he performed for its entire five-year run.

__Who he plays:__ I play Dr. Emilio Amigo — he is the owner and one of the counselors at the counseling center. Inspired by the young men and women that go to the center, he comes up with the idea of of holding a spring formal. His heart bursts open and his life changes because of what he's learning.

__What he loves about his character:__ [The real Amigo and I have] been emailing back and forth, and we will be meeting in person very soon. What I'm getting from his energy and from how he runs his center is the belief that we are limitless and that we should always be striving for more, to break our boundaries.

__Fun fact:__ I tend to only do roles that are based on real things.

![cristina-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/44Vf8SDRsFCUz7t0hVuM9z/f4e8867071ad25bb1a8f3be258a81274/cristina-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Cristina Sastre

Sastre makes her Broadway debut as Ashley Amigo, a young girl who grew up in her father's counseling center and is now looking to forge her own path.

__Who she plays:__ Ashley Amigo is the daughter of Dr. Amigo, the head psychologist at the Amigo Family Counseling Center. She has just come back from school, where she's a dancer, and she's feeling conflicted about what she wants to do with her life.

__What he loves about his character:__ When I got the audition packet, I was like, this feels like me. I really connect to her not being sure if this thing she's poured so much time and energy into is the right thing. I relate to her doubt and her feeling of responsibility to her parents who have given up so much for her, but at the same time, the strength to listen to the voice inside of you.

__Fun fact:__ I love to paint and draw. When I was a very small child, before I decided to be an actor, I thought I would be an artist.

![darlesia-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/3E90OYNu5NeIxHtPoTQCpe/da7d2b42b0e3f3292ae35d503a3fe704/darlesia-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Darlesia Cearcy

With five previous Broadway credits to her name, most recently *Once on This Island*, Cearcy returns to theatre in a motherly role on and off stage.

__Who she plays:__ Johanna is not necessarily a character — she's a real woman, and she is the mother to Caroline.

__What she loves about her character:__ I too, am a mother. I bring that to my character and to the seven [lead actors]. Sometimes they're like, "Okay, can you pull back?" But it's all with love. That protective, motherly spirit — I just can't help it!

__Fun fact:__ Before I moved into musical theatre, my former training is as a classical ballet dancer. Once I decided I wanted to move into leading-lady parts, I covered my body so they wouldn't see me standing in first position.

![haven-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/6inEpgote2bvr76eLP39AN/5b373d234d948527bc4d61fa72271054/haven-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Haven Burton

Broadway veteran Haven Burton says she always tries to bring herself to her roles, but she described her role as Terry in particular as "art imitating life imitating art."

__Who she plays:__ Terry is Jessica's mother and best friends with Johanna.

__What she loves about her character:__ I'm a mom, and I have history with my own mother that I'm bringing into that. I also have a son who is on the autism spectrum, so it's been beautiful to bring that in and learn a lot from my fellow cast members, and from Terry as as the character is written. Her relationship with her daughter has informed my personal life.

__Fun fact:__ I do lots of funny voices — I do lots of animated characters from *Pokémon*.

Geekdom becomes [Jim Parsons](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jim-parsons). When some fans hear his name, they'll always think of Sheldon Cooper first. Fair enough: Parsons played the nerdy theoretical physicist from 2007 to 2019 in *The Big Bang Theory*, winning four Emmy Awards for his work.

Beyond the small screen, Parsons has showcased his knack for light-as-air comedy, weighty drama, and everything in between, on stage. When he wasn't acting up as Sheldon, one could often find Parsons center stage, assuming other alter egos.

Parsons made his New York theatre debut off Broadway in Franza Kafka’s *The Castle*. In April, he’s on Broadway in [*Mother Play*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/31354-mother-play-on-broadway), a new Paula Vogel play also starring [Jessica Lange](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jessica-lange) and [Celia Keenan-Bolger](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/celia-keenan-bolger). Find out about more of the plays and musicals on and off Broadway in which Parsons made a bang.

## Infernal Bridegroom Productions

Parsons and Jason Nodler co-founded this theatre company in Parsons's home state of Texas in 1993. Parsons kickstarted his acting career by performing in 15 shows with Infernal Bridegroom Productions — including *Guys & Dolls*, *Othello*, and *The Cherry Orchard* — before the company dissolved in 2007.

## *The Castle*

Kafka’s characteristically enigmatic story looked at life and the bureaucracy and alienation that goes with it. Parsons played Jeremiah, who’s there presumably to assist a man simply called K. Suffice it to say that Jeremiah is little help.

## *The Normal Heart*

Larry Kramer’s poignant and angry drama recalls the tumultuous early days of the AIDS epidemic. In the 2011 Broadway production, Parsons played Tommy Boatwright, a hospital administrator, an ardent activist, and a self-proclaimed “Southern bitch.” He won a Theatre World Award for his performance and reprised the role in the 2014 TV movie.

![harvey jim parsons-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/1NdAWRdVuqgVQe3F6ZsOH6/45f7f374e80952a9ff1bbfb78a8544df/harvey_jim_parsons-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Harvey*

Parsons hopped into the lead role of Elwood Dowd in the 2012 revival of Mary Chase’s 1944 comedy. Concerns arise when it’s revealed that Elwood’s BFF (bunny friend forever) is a man-sized invisible rabbit. “The gentle farce provides an ideal vehicle for the gifted Jim Parsons,” the [Hollywood Reporter's critic](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/harvey-theater-review-337880/) raved.

![act of god jim parsons-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/3GbBLiuY3LcpVSycIAZARO/fe0f8d9f2ad113ac616d565a36dc04d0/act_of_god_jim_parsons-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *An Act of God*

Oh my God, yes, Parsons played *The Supreme Being* in the 2015 Broadway premiere of the comedy written by David Javerbaum and directed by *The Normal Heart* star Joe Mantello. Turns out that God has jokes to crack and bones to pick about the Commandments. “Parsons’s quirky charm is generally enough to carry the day,” the [New York Theatre Guide review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/an-act-of-god) reads.

![boys band jim parsons-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/7dUkWxa9zjIrbOIj2WXjPf/fe5d0414bcadb076b04a51ef9022996d/boys_band_jim_parsons-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *The Boys in the Band*

Fifty years after Mart Crowley’s landmark dramedy about gay men in New York City debuted off Broadway, the play made its Broadway premiere in 2018. Parsons played birthday boy Michael, whose party sets the scene for cake, quips, and drama. [Matt Bomer](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/matt-bomer), [Zachary Quinto](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/zachary-quinto), and [Andrew Rannells](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/andrew-rannells) (now on Broadway in [*Gutenberg! The Musical!*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/31399-gutenberg-the-musical-tickets)) also were part of director Joe Mantello’s sterling cast. All reprised their roles in the 2020 Netflix movie version.

## *A Man of No Importance*

Twenty years after the 2002 debut of Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens, and Terrence McNally's musical, Classic Stage Company presented a revival starring Parsons as Alfie Byrne, a Dublin bus conductor who runs an amateur theatre troupe and grapples with being gay. [New York Theatre Guide’s four-star review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/a-man-of-no-importance-off-broadway-review-jim-parsons) noted that Parsons “convincingly inhabits Alfie's earnestness and diffidence,” which went a long way to make the show “stirring and gorgeous.”

## *Mother Play*

Family dysfunction, coming right up! Parsons is in top-tier, Tony-winning company in Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel’s new show, set in 1962. That includes Jessica Lange as his vexing mom and *To Kill a Mockingbird*’s Celia Keenan-Bolger as his sister, who together cope with the changes in their world and each other. Performances begin April 2 at the [Hayes Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/hayes-theater).
