i’m increasingly a total sap about events/moments of shared connection, and julia masli’s show is it. her fame arc is a good one, too. embrace the absurdist clown, be the absurdist clown

Wow, wow, wow. I can’t remember ever laughing this hard at a Broadway show. How beautiful and insane that Cole Escola has hatched from their genius mind such a well received, delightful, engaging piece of theatre. God, it’s so silly and stupid and yet so SMART and brilliant. I feel so inspired, like we are on the cusp of a delightful comedic renaissance. I’m delighted to charge forth in the name of this cause, touting the electric genius of Oh, Mary and hopefully contributing work of my own to this flavor of art. Because mama, IT IS ART!

It’s delightfully unhinged! Smart and stupid, hilarious and serious! Hardest I’ve laughed in awhile 🥲 Now extended through May 5–it’s worth the splurge if you’re in NYC and I say that as an infrequent and sometimes hesitant theatre-goer

i went to see the new broadway production of cabaret this saturday on a complete whim (knowing next to nothing about the show) and i have not been able to stop thinking about it since. what a fun and entertaining yet deeply distressing experience— the intentional, immersive atmosphere brought me (almost blindly…) into the story. i found myself entranced in the hypnotizing world of the kit kat club, then immediately brought out of it by certain impactful moments; the feeling that i was a part of the show in a way made these moments hit me hard, and at times i felt my stomach drop as i was faced with nauseating reality. it can be so easy to move on with your life as though issues affecting others don’t affect you. as my friend lewin put it, it takes effort and a conscious choice not to become evil. if you don’t actively think in opposition to something, you are as good as enabling it— and i intend to treat my own moral views and opinions with more intentionality going forward.
not to mention, i saw this performance immediately after attending a protest against the current trump regime, and the themes of complicity in 1930s germany felt all too relevant to the politics of today. in all, a striking and upsetting, yet somehow incredibly entertaining, show that i feel will stick with me for a while. also, a very queer show. beautiful.
