'68: A New American Musical is a fiercely original work, inspired by the volatile events of the 1968 Democratic Convention and their place in history and our future. Albee Fellow Jamie Leo's book and lyrics chronicle citizens in collision with history, propelled by award-winning composer Paul Leschen's authentic, unforgettable score. '68 forges a narrative, a eulogy, and a celebration of struggle — the struggle of research librarians, hotel housekeepers, street cops, campaigners, protesters, and community organizers at the center of the storm.

About Alice, a new two-character play, is inspired by Calvin Trillin's best-selling memoir of the same title — a love letter to his wife, Alice, who died in 2001 at the age of 63 while awaiting a heart transplant.

The play begins with the death of Alice, played by Jessica Hecht (Admissions), goes back in time to when the couple first met, and then returns to the present. In Trillin's memoir we experience Alice only through Calvin. In the play, Alice is present in Calvin's memory but she is also present as an independent character. Calvin sees her through the eyes of a humorist and a husband. Though About Alice incorporates some of the actual words of Alice and Calvin Trillin, the play, directed by Leonard Foglia (Anna Deavere Smith's Notes From the Field), goes beyond literal representation and expresses a universal story.

The season will feature 11 theatrical productions. The fall lineup includes an adaptation of Roberto Bolaño's novel Distant Star presented by the theater company Caborca (September 14-October 1); Blackouts by "Drag fabulist" Dickie Beau (October 5-8); Katherine Brook, Toni Enelow, and Taylor Brook's The Power of Emotion: The Apartment (October 11-21); Shaun Irons and Lauren Petty's Why Why Always, featuring Jim Fletcher (October 12-29).

Afterglow is a raw one-act play exploring the emotional, intellectual, and physical connections among three men and the broader implications within their relationships. Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed one night. When a new intimate connection begins to form, all three men must come to terms with their individual definitions of love, loyalty, and trust as futures are questioned, relationships are shaken, and commitments are challenged.

Note: This show is recommended for ages 18 and up because of its language and nudity. Children under the age of four are not permitted in the theater.

When the madness of the world is too much to bear, we take refuge in the stories we love.

This world-premiere musical, starring Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen), encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

Betrayal, it's complicated and life changing, for better or for worse. Four couples in different stages of life and types of infidelity are faced with exploring the consequences of their choices as individuals and as couples in this new, eye-opening, erotic, edgy, and honest dramatic play.

All Because of, Infidelity by Elise Maurine Milner is presented not only as a slice of life narrative, but it also offers surprises along the way that reveal how these characters and their circumstances are interwoven. Their poignant situations lead the characters to the discovery of themselves and their partners, while revealing their vulnerabilities, secrets, and perhaps even forgiveness. This play explores the risks some are willing to take for one experience over another, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.

American Cuck seeks to place this alt-right obsession with cuckolding into historical context and to explore the ways in which this newest version of an antique narrative serves as a variation on a formative theme necessary for the country's self-identity. Any rupture in the dominant masques of the plantation fantasy sends the entire republic into crisis. Such ruptures and crises are the focus — and the goal of this piece.

With a book by Kenneth L. Stilson and music and lyrics by Cody Cole, An American Hero tells the story of a romantic and cheerful Irish immigrant who joins the US Army and falls in love with and marries an American woman before being sent to fight in World War II.

Winner of three 2018 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play!

Tony Kushner's seminal epic, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, returns to Broadway for the first time since its now-legendary original production opened in 1993. This new staging of part one of Angels in America, Millennium Approaches, and of part two, Perestroika, had its world premiere in a sold-out run at the National Theatre, where it became the fastest-selling show in the organization's history.

Starring multi-Tony Award winner Nathan Lane and Academy Award and Tony nominee Andrew Garfield, the cast of Angels in America features fellow original National Theatre cast members Susan Brown, Denise Gough, Amanda Lawrence, James McArdle, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett. Multi-Tony winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse) directs.

As politically incendiary as any play in the American canon, Angels in America also manages to be hilariously irreverent and heartbreakingly humane. It is also astonishingly relevant, speaking every bit as urgently to our anxious times as it did to the early '90s. Tackling Reaganism, McCarthyism, immigration, religion, climate change, and AIDS against the backdrop of New York City in the mid-1980s, no contemporary drama has succeeded so indisputably with so ambitious a scope. Angels in America won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, seven Tony Awards, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Evening Standard Award for Best New Play.

Note: Angels in America is a play in two parts. "Part One: Millennium Approaches" lasts three and a half hours. "Part Two: Perestroika" lasts four hours. Each part has two intermissions.

With boundless generosity, she throws a lavish feast that becomes an agent of transformative grace. Babette's Feast is a bundle of exciting contradictions: the stark and the lush, the stunning and the austere, the mysterious and the comic. Further, it's timely with a twist, in that it highlights the plight of a refugee seeking asylum, who through her munificence creates a lavish feast that becomes an abundant experience of forgiveness and connection that heals a fractured community. Babette's Feast shows how embracing the other changes a community for the better.

A logorrheic encyclopedic rambunctious gollywompus of a play concerning speech acts, political power, fractal geometry, eusociality, theater, and some other stuff too, in which a witness at a trial describes to us a play in which a team of scientists attempts to use real speeches from real US presidents to nullify the language-power of the fake US president (but also maybe the real US president), while the rest of us bozos try to go on living lives of picturesque American normalcy, unaware that this isn't a theater at all — it's an aircraft carrier and we're headed for war.

Boldly directly by Michael Cabot, Borders is fast-paced, stripped-down theater that conveys an epic story using just two actors, simple lighting, and a couple stools.

Directed and choreographed by Austin McCormick, Company XIV's latest show reimagines Munro Leaf's classic children's tale "The Story of Ferdinand" as an erotic all-male baroque-burlesque spectacle. Soothe (or stoke) summer's sizzle with flirtation, opulence, and exquisite cocktails from the bar. Roll around the Spanish hillside and enjoy a bullfight in the XIV ring, where a ferocious, fertile matador challenges dear Ferdinand to a duel. Will Ferdinand rise to the occasion or succumb to the field of flowers?

Mart Crowley's groundbreaking 1968 play, The Boys in the Band, centers on a group of gay men who gather in a New York City apartment for a friend's birthday party. After the drinks are poured and the music gets cranked up, the evening slowly exposes the fault lines beneath their friendships and the self-inflicted heartache that threatens their solidarity. A theatrical game-changer, The Boys in the Band helped spark a revolution by putting gay men's lives onstage — unapologetically and without judgment — in a world that was not willing to fully accept them. This revival, directed by multi-Tony Award winner Joe Mantello, stars Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, and Andrew Rannells.

Abigail Rockwell, granddaughter of the American illustrator, Norman Rockwell, continues her NYC jazz debut at the Metropolitan.

Based on the critically acclaimed play that inspired the now classic film, this streetwise musical will take you to the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s — where a young man is caught between the father he loves and the mob boss he'd love to be. Featuring an original doo-wop score, this is a tale about respect, loyalty, love, and above all else, family.

A Bronx Tale is directed by multi-Academy Award winner Robert De Niro and multi-Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks. Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri wrote the book, while the score is the work of multi-Academy Award winner Alan Menken and multi-Tony nominee Glenn Slater. The choreography is by Tony nominee Sergio Trujillo.

Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role in an antebellum epic starring her boss. While Vera's portrayal of a slave turns out to be groundbreaking, decades later, scholars and film buffs still grapple with the actor's legacy in Hollywood and the impact that race had on her controversial career.

Multi-Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage's fast-paced, sly satire, directed by Kamilah Forbes, will take you on a 70-year journey through Vera's life and the cultural climate that originally shaped her and continues today.

All is going well for Della. Her North Carolina bakery is legendary, and she's just been cast on her favorite television baking competition. But then Jen, the daughter of her late best friend, comes home from New York City and asks her to make a cake for Jen's upcoming wedding. When Della learns that Jen's about to marry a woman, she is forced to reexamine her deeply held beliefs as questions about morality, judgment, and family swirl around them all. This emotional and deliciously funny play is written by Bekah Brunstetter (This Is Us) and staged by Lynne Meadow, Manhattan Theatre Club's artistic director.

The last opera by one of the longest-lived composers in history, Capriccio turns the tables on audience members, giving them a glimpse of life in the theater from the other side of the curtain. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), what happens behind the scenes is filled with as much drama and comedy as what takes place onstage! The plot revolves around the Countess — a supporter of the arts, just like you — and her courtship by both a composer and a playwright (poet?). In choosing one over the other, she plans to answer this age-old question: Which is more important to opera, the music or the words?

Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose plays the title role in a new production of the musical Carmen Jones. Directed by Tony Award winner John Doyle and choreographed by fellow Tony winner Bill T. Jones, the show features a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Georges Bizet. This production is the first major New York revival of the musical since its Broadway debut 75 years ago.

Set in the American South as World War Two rages overseas, Carmen Jones tells the story of a tempestuous parachute factory worker who ignites her own battle in a tragic love triangle with an airman and a prizefighter. In adapting Bizet's legendary opera Carmen, Hammerstein shifted the story from Spain to World War Two-era America and made the characters African-American. His musical premiered on Broadway in 1943 and ran for over 500 performances. Otto Preminger directed a 1954 film version starring Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte.

A wide assortment of food and drink is available during the show, and fine dining is available before or after the show in the intimate supper lounge.

Note: There is a two-drink minimum for all shows.

Winner of two 2018 Tony Awards!

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's Carousel has returned to Broadway, directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, with choreography by New York City Ballet's Justin Peck, and starring Tony nominee Joshua Henry, Tony winner Jessie Mueller, and four-time Grammy Award winner Renée Fleming.

Set in a small New England factory town, Carousel depicts the tragic romance between a troubled carnival barker and the young woman who gives up everything for him. Elevated to an epic scale with a sweeping musical score and incandescent ballet sequences, this story of passion, loss, and redemption introduced Broadway to a new manner of musical drama — one that produced some of the American Songbook's most iconic numbers and would captivate theatergoers for generations to come.

The Phelans and the Lavecchias grew up in one another's homes in a tight-knit working-class community, sharing the good times and the bad. As the younger generation grapples with complicated life choices, a shifting crisis is set in motion that threatens the bonds of this extended family. Using the device of character-doubling in an unconventional way, playwright Mia Chung brings fresh scrutiny to the roles we play in our families.

Catharsis, or, Under the Oak Tree, takes us into the mind of The Dreamer, who is in love with The Figment. Throughout the play, they share sentiments, secrets, and snacks, with The Dreamer feeling content in his happy place. However, The Figment begins to realize that he is not real; this causes the oak tree to begin to fall apart, and the roots of what The Dreamer thought was real begins to break.

Celebrity Autobiography: The Next Chapter, created by Eugene Pack and developed by him and Dayle Reyfel, features a lineup of rotating performers who read — in both solo and ensemble pieces — the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous in their autobiographies.

The show features selections from books by Justin Bieber, "The Situation," Madonna, Tiger Woods, Susan Lucci, David Hasselhoff, Geraldo Rivera, Melissa Gilbert, Patti LuPone, Kenny Loggins, Destiny's Child, the Jonas Brothers, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Diana Ross, David Cassidy, Britney Spears, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eminem, and Vanna White. It also includes special "celebrity mash-ups" — Cher, Barbra Streisand, Neil Sedaka, Dolly Parton, and Celine Dion all expressing their passion for food; Sylvester Stallone and Tommy Lee on working out and working "it" out; LL Cool J, Miley Cyrus, and Ricky Martin addressing who they "really are"; Tallulah Bankhead, Kathleen Turner, and Ethel Merman sharing the secrets of "diva-dom"; and Lauren Bacall and Carol Channing recreating the suspense of Tony night.

Before the days of radio and television, wealthy patrons would regularly invite entertainers into their homes, to delight small gatherings of family and friends. In those sophisticated, friendly environs, the living room became the stage, and the audience looked gleefully on, mere inches from the show.

Master conjuror, Steve Cohen, is recreating this posh, intimate entertainment experience, in his exclusive evening show, Chamber Magic: A Demonstration of Modern Conjuring. Some of the tricks Cohen will perform include:

• the linking of three borrowed wedding rings
• the bending of metal with his mind
• the single most astonishing card trick he's learned in twenty years of study.

Cocktail attire is requested.

Midnight showings of Chamber Magic are also available for groups of 15 or more.

The Cher Show stars Tony Award nominee Stephanie J. Block (Falsettos), Teal Wicks (Wicked), and Micaela Diamond (making her Broadway debut) in the role of the iconic singer and actor at various times in her life and career. These performers are joined by Tony nominee Jarrod Spector (Beautiful) as Sonny Bono, Tony nominee Michael Berresse (Kiss Me, Kate) as Bob Mackie, Michael Campayno (Wicked) as Rob Camilletti, Matthew Hydzik (It Shoulda Been You) as Gregg Allman, and Tony nominee Emily Skinner (Prince of Broadway) as Georgia Holt.

One of the longest-running shows on Broadway, Chicago is a New York City institution. It tells the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two killer-dillers on their way to fame by any means possible. All publicity is good publicity, right? When Roxie shoots her lover, Fred, she employs an unscrupulous lawyer, Billy Flynn, to get herself off the hook. But will she be thwarted by double-murderess and headliner Velma Kelly? Or will this gruesome twosome become a sister act?

Chicago features a classic score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, including the songs "All That Jazz," "Cell Block Tango," and "Razzle Dazzle." So you better slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes for Chicago on Broadway.

Note: Children ages four and under are not permitted in the theater.

Preemo Productions and Broadway's Town Hall hosts a concert honoring the American rock band Chicago and the timeless music of Motown in the heart of the Broadway theater district.

Broadway — today and for more than a decade — has played host to programs spotlighting the legends of the music industry including Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Kurt Weill, Carole King, Frankie Valli, ABBA, Janis Joplin, and Johnny Cash to Peter Allen, Jimmy Buffett, Donna Summer, the Shirelles, the Go-Go's, Green Day, Tupac Shakur...and too many Beatles tributes to count!

Now, Town Hall will contribute to the Broadway skyline by hosting a special one-night-only concert featuring the phenomenal band Beginnings and their tribute to the legendary '70/'80s band Chicago; and That Motown Band — celebrating the '60s record label that fostered powerful, definite, and historic music.

For half a century, the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys has been dedicated to the education of strong, ethical black men. One talented student has been waiting for years to take his rightful place as the leader of the legendary gospel choir. But can he make his way through the hallowed halls of this institution if he sings in his own key? This soaring, music-filled work is by Tarell Alvin McCraney, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Moonlight and a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship Grant. Trip Cullman (Murder Ballad) directs.

Cinderella is joined by a new stepmother and stepsister, but they turn out not to be as nice as she had hoped. When the prince invites everyone to the ball, they tell her she has to stay home and clean. When she makes it to the castle and dances until the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella could live happily ever after if a certain glass slipper fits her foot. The Disney classic Cinderella is fun for all ages!

"A multicultural version of Cinderella with puppets, musics, and a Red Grooms-inspired set."

Cindy does not want to be a princess. She wants to be a pilot.

In this modern reimagining of Cinderella, Cindy struggles to define her own "happily ever after." For children ages 6-99, with music, dancing, and puppets.

It's been called the "edge of the world." The weather is wild, but the locals never lack for warmth. And it's here, in Newfoundland, that a remote town became the epicenter of a remarkable true story filled with unusual characters, unexpected camaraderie, and uncommon generosity.

That story began in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Flights had to be rerouted, and 38 of them, carrying a total of 6,579 passengers, were grounded near this Newfoundland town. The locals put their lives on hold and opened their homes to a world of strangers. In a heartbeat, the town's population doubled. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

Come From Away, which tells the story of those passengers and that town, is a new musical written by Tony Award nominees (and Canadians) Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The direction is by Tony winner Christopher Ashley and the choreography by Tony nominee Kelly Devine (Rocky).

Since 2004, ComedySportz New York has been entertaining fans with the fastest and funniest form of improv comedy in the Big Apple. Two teams of improvisers vie for points in a hilarious competition by playing a series of improv games, similar to what you may have seen on TV's Whose Line Is It Anyway?

There's nothing like standup comedy in person — the spontaneity of a comedian in front of a live audience is something special. See for yourself at Comic Strip Live, which offers some of the best standup in New York City. Performers hail from Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central, Conan, and the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Audiences can enjoy food, mixed drinks, and specialty brews as they laugh the night away.

Conflict is a love story set against the backdrop of a hotly contested election, combining playwright Miles Malleson's two passions: sex and politics. The result is a provocative romance that sizzles with wit and ideas. It's the Roaring '20s, London. Lady Dare Bellingdon has everything she could want, yet she craves something more. Dare's man, Sir Major Ronald Clive, is standing for Parliament with the backing of Dare's father. Clive is a Conservative, of course, but he's liberal enough to be sleeping with Dare, who's daring enough to take Clive as a lover but too restless to marry him. Clive's opponent, Tom Smith, is passionate about social justice and understands the joy of having something to believe in. Dare is "the woman between" two candidates who both want to make a better world — until politics become personal, and mudslinging threatens to soil them all.

A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. Continuity is a sly, biting comedy in six takes where storytelling and science collide with both hilarious and devastating consequences. The play asks, "How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?" "How do we tell the stories that could shape our future?" and, perhaps most importantly, "What's for lunch?"

Vencl Dance returns to Graham Center of Contemporary Dance June 21-23 with Critical Junctures, an evening of contemporary modern dance by Susan Vencl with music by Arlene Sierra.

Cruisical: A Lesbian Musical is an anachronistic musical comedy where six queer cis women — Mercedes de Acosta, Moms Mabley, Vita Sackville-West, Violet Trefusis, Virginia Woolf, and Esther Eng — find themselves transported to the year 2018, where they have landed on an all-inclusive lesbian cruise, with a buffet spread at their disposal. Hearts become entangled over piña coladas by the pool, as these women deal with petty interpersonal disputes and larger misunderstandings of 21st-century queerness. We pay earnest homage to our foremothers, who lived and loved out loud at great personal risk. In Cruisical, we give them the tropical lesbian vacation they deserved.

When Eric sees a likeness between his new-born granddaughter and the Irish republican leader, Gerry Adams, his sanity starts to unravel. Determined to defend his family and his heritage, Eric's lifetime of ingrained prejudice and unsettled identity push him to the edge.

In a small Boston suburb, a single schoolteacher is struggling to get by when the wealthy father of one of her students surprises her with a financial proposal that could change her daughter's life. Suddenly, their worlds collide in ways that open up questions: What truly separates the haves and the have nots? Is it wrong to seize an incredible chance, even if the circumstances seem questionable? Loosely inspired by a passage from The Great Gatsby, this timely new play by the author of The City of Conversation probes the troubling relationship of finance and educational opportunity in American life today. Directing is Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (Doubt).

Somewhere in America, an army of preteen competitive dancers plot to take over the world.

Every plié and jeté is a step toward finding themselves and a fight to unleash their power.

Against the backdrop of an endless, unwinnable war raging halfway across the world and a polarizing president recklessly stoking the flames of racist backlash at home, a generation of young people rises up to demand change from a corrupt political establishment. It is October of 1969, and unbeknownst to the rest of the world, three 20-something radicals are busy planning the impending revolution from a quiet college town in upstate New York. But when two strangers appear and disrupt the group's delicate balance, new dangers and old wounds threaten to tear the collective apart. By the Tony Award-winning book writer of Dear Evan Hansen, Days of Rage is a timely new play about means and ends, ideals and extremes, and the perils of changing the world.

We're all familiar with the classic tale of someone waking up in a strange place, in a life or death situation they can only escape from after first disabling their captors. Well, this story is anything but classic. Sure, Isabelle wakes up to find her kidnapper towering over her, and sure, her kidnapper is not sending positive vibes, but this story takes twists and turns that will cause both fear and delight. Isabelle's abductor — so aptly named Chuckie — swears he's protecting her from a virus that could potentially wipe out all of civilization. Is he a hero, or is he a crazed killer? And why are there so many doll babies? In this brand-new 75 minute dramedy, we embark on an emotional journey that takes us six feet underground, and the only possibility of escape involves digging a little deeper.

Winner of six 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Musical!

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.

Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it. It first opened off-Broadway in a production that received an Obie and Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. Many cast members from that production have transferred with the show to Broadway. Obie Award winner Steven Levenson wrote the musical's book; the music and lyrics are by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal) directs.

This musical journey takes audiences back in time — specifically, to when "soul" emerged as a style of music. Berry Gordy's Motown label and his studio band the Funk Brothers helped popularize soul music, as did Stax Records' Booker T. & the MG's. Before long, James Brown became the "Godfather of Soul" and Aretha Franklin its queen.

Now vocalists Prentiss McNeil (of the Drifters) and Bruce Wayne (of the Midnight Movers, Wilson Pickett's backing band) lead this classic soul revue. Their energy is unmatched; their showmanship, breathtaking. A Decade of Soul is a passion-driven tribute; the passion may even drive audience members out of their seats and onto their feet.

Desperate Measures is a hilarious new musical that tells the tale of Johnny Blood, a handsome young man whose life is in danger because of a saloon brawl. Set in the early 1890s, Johnny must put his fate into the hands of a colorful cast of characters, including a wily sheriff, an eccentric priest, an authoritarian governor, a saloon girl gone good, and a nun out of the habit. Laws are broken and hearts are won as they try to find justice in a world that often doesn't seem just.

Sound familiar? Inspired by Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, this musical is a joyful, madcap comedy that also manages to ponder the nature of justice. Will the good guys pull off the greatest caper yet, or will Johnny be left hanging? One thing is certain...audiences will exit smiling.

Calvin is a photographer and self-proclaimed provocateur in desperate need of an idea for his next installation. Grace, his girlfriend and publicist, and Fin, his best friend and art dealer, are turning up the heat as the deadline approaches. Meanwhile, two eponymous art handlers begin to complicate the situation when they become the target of Grace's unwanted attention. Mrs. Marbleblatt, a widowed patron of the arts, further queers the equation when she takes a prurient interest in Calvin's work. In Daniel McCoy's Dick Pix, ambitions and visions collide in a satirical comedy about identity, harassment, and narcissism in the age of social media.

Written by Willard Manus, directed by Judith Rose, and starring Cindy Marinangel, Dietrich is based on the life of the iconic Marlene Dietrich. Set in May 1960, the play takes place when the actress returned to the Berlin stage for the first time since fleeing the Hitler regime in the 1930s. Inside her dressing room at the Tatiana Palast Theater, Dietrich weighs whether to go through with the live performance despite threats on her life by Nazi sympathizers who resented her for having spent much of World War II entertaining American soldiers on the front lines. To them, Dietrich is a turncoat, a traitor who deserves to be shot and killed on stage.

Broadway. We all know it. We all love it. Distorted Broadway asks and answers the simple question: What if your favorite Broadway shows didn't end up being quite what you expected? What if Avenue Q really turned out to be a ballet about south Brooklyn or if Jersey Boys was about the Jersey Shore?

Both adults and children may find their hearts growing a few sizes (along with the Grinch's, of course) when they witness the magic of this holiday tale onstage. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! features the hit songs "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas," both from the animated TV special. Max the Dog narrates as the scheming Grinch plans to steal Christmas away from the Whos, the lovable creatures that understand and embrace the true meaning of the holidays. When the Grinch realizes that he can't steal Christmas from Whoville by taking presents, he returns the gifts and decorations and joins the festivities, proving that all it takes is a little kindness and holiday spirit to make any Grinch not so mean after all.

Life Among the Aryans, by Ishmael Reed, is a political satire that envisions a future when the downtrodden of the alt-right realize they'd be better off black. The play imagines an America when the political pendulum has swung way back. Now the president is Jewish and the head of the FBI is a black woman, presenting such a nightmare to the far right that they now miss the president they called the Muslim King. The government has enacted reparations to black Americans for the unpaid labor of their ancestors. This inspires envy and desperation among impecunious members of the alt-right. But it also inspires them to a new, uproarious strategy of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." The play offers us a cunning satire of white class consciousness.

Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones, and Bobby Cannavale star in The Lifespan of a Fact, a world-premiere Broadway play. Based on the book by John D'Agata and Jim Fingal, the work has been adapted for the stage by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell. Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman directs.

Jim Fingal (Radcliffe) has a small job: fact-checking articles for one of the best magazines in the country. Jim's boss (Jones) has given him a big assignment: applying his skill to a groundbreaking piece by legendary author John D'Agata (Cannavale). Now Jim has a huge problem: John made up some of his article. Well, a lot of his article. OK, actually, maybe the majority of it? What starts professional quickly becomes profane as one question rises to the surface: Can Jim ever just shut the fact up?

The Lifespan of a Fact is based on the stirring true story of John D'Agata's essay "What Happens There," about the Las Vegas suicide of teenager Levi Presley. Fingal, assigned to fact-check the piece, ignited a seven-year debate on the blurred lines of what passes for truth in literary nonfiction.

At once harrowing and hopeful, Little Rock brings to life the Nine's untold personal stories of challenge and resilience, conjuring memories of America not so long ago. From writer and director Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, this moving play honors the bravery of these young heroes and asks audiences, "Would you have had the courage?"

Log Cabin takes place in a faraway age of hope and inclusivity — in other words, 2015. When a tight-knit circle of married gays and lesbians — comfy in the new mainstream — see themselves through the eyes of their rakish transgender pal, it's clear that the march toward progress is anything but unified. With stinging satire and acute compassion, Harrison's pointed comedy charts the breakdown of empathy that happens when we think our rights are secure, revealing hardened hearts where you'd least expect.

The world-premiere musical Lonesome Blues is the true story of the legendary bluesman Blind Lemon Jefferson: born blind but ultimately able to express his deepest emotions through music. Discovered on a street corner in the Deep Ellum section of Dallas, Texas, in 1925, Jefferson made more than 80 records over the next four years, becoming one the most prolific and influential performers of his generation and propelling the growth of rhythm and blues, soul, doo-wop, rap, and hip-hop. Building on the success of their earlier musical Blind Lemon Blues, Alan Govenar and Akiń Babatundé have used new research to probe deeper into the life and psyche of Blind Lemon Jefferson. In Lonesome Blues, Babatundé plays more than 10 different roles, channeling the spirits of men and women alike, in a journey that is at once evocative, troubling, and transformative. Songs and monologues bring to life the voice of Blind Lemon Jefferson, his community, and his musical contemporaries, including Blind Willie Johnson, Lillian Glinn, Hattie Hudson, Bobbie Cadillac, and Lead Belly — all coming together in Jefferson's mind on the day of his death in Chicago: December 19, 1929.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such works as Time Stands Still and Dinner With Friends returns to Manhattan Theatre Club with a funny, unsettling, and ultimately moving play about the limits of compassion and filial obligation.

The Maid's Tragedy is a Jacobean revenge drama that centers on the hero Melantius, who must challenge the monarchy and reclaim his family's honor after despicable conduct by the king. Traditionally portrayed as a male soldier returning home from war, Melantius discovers the king has arranged a marriage between his social-climbing sister, Evadne, and his best friend, Amintor — a power move to protect the king's personal interests that also destroys Amintor's engagement to his longtime love, Aspatia. This production reimagines the tragedy as a story of two sisters in present-day Hollywood — a now-female Melantius who's a film producer and Evadne, now an actor — whose different attitudes about sex, fame, and honor collide in the wake of their studio-king's misconduct. Careers are jeopardized and lives are threatened as everyone contends with one question: When the person with the most power robs you of yours, how far will you go to get it back?

"Look to your left. Look to your right. One of you won't be here to graduate"

Mediocrity: A Sophomore Effort is a live, unholy mash-up of equal parts TED Talk, stand-up, and music loops from humorist Brendan Hughes. If Radiolab and Flight of the Conchords had a baby that was delivered by Eddie Izzard at the Museum of Jurassic Technology, the home video of that childbirth procedure would be not unlike this show.

Mediocrity will be a live taping of what will become Hughes's second concert album, following 2014's The Pizzicato Effect, which was recorded at Ars Nova in 2012 and is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Since 2008, Hughes has delivered experimental comic lectures on gigantic themes in an ongoing attempt to double-click on the universe, by offering ontological equipment to fellow 21st-century travelers for their hazardous journey through the post-everything age.

Each week, the Magnet Theater's resident ensembles converge for a night of improv comedy. The night might include anything from monoscenes to Harolds (long-form improv acts that begin with a suggestion from the audience). Because Megawatt's format gets changed more frequently than a lightbulb, returning audience members can expect to be dazzled every time.

At an elite East Coast university, an ambitious young black student and her esteemed white professor meet to discuss a paper the college junior is writing about the American Revolution. They're both liberal. They're both women. They're both brilliant. But very quickly, discussions of grammar and Google turn to race and reputation, and before they know it, they're in dangerous territory neither of them had foreseen — and facing stunning implications that can't be undone. Written with truth and humor by Eleanor Burgess, this resonant work is directed by Kimberly Senior (Disgraced).

In the not-so-sunny side of California, Alix bounces between motel rooms taking care of her brothers for her mostly absent mother. Her classmate Mason is a budding songwriter trying to keep off the radar of his father in Hong Kong. Together, they must learn to scrape by without giving up their dreams. The New York premiere of Nomad Motel, written by Carla Ching, is a surprising tale of kids raising themselves and making something out of nothing in the land of plenty.

Not for Resale is a play that explores queer identities, queer communities, and the implications of queerness in socially constructed spaces.

A high-spirited, comedic, at times irreverent, and other times vulnerable music-filled production that examines queerness as a place of personal and cultural innovation. And, like any place of innovation and experimentation that has strong aesthetics at work, there is the ever-present danger for appropriation and commodification by capitalist, patriarchal systems. With any visibility comes the danger of this commodification, and the play wrestles with identities being marketed and examines "what is being sold." It suggests that, potentially, queerness may only successfully exist outside of capitalist structures and asks us to consider if it can operate within them. It was devised by queer-identifying performers and drama therapists in NYU's As Performance research series and written by actor and playwright Jess Barbagallo and directed by Alexis Powell.
