Tony Kushner Speaks

What’s he going to say? We don’t know! We can’t predict where Tony Kushner's train of thought will take us or how long we’ll be on the ride, but we know it’ll be a real treat.

First Look: The Secret History

Ambitious, wide-eyed Californian Richard Papen flees from the sunshiney state of California to pursue his passion: the classics. He is whisked away into a group of handsome, mysterious academics who become like family to him...but one wild party will change their lives forever. Starring Ben Platt as Richard Papen, Lee Pace as Henry Winter, Jon Groff as Bunny Corcoran, Andrew Garfield with red hair as Francis Abernathy, Nic Rouleau as Charles Macaulay, and any woman as Camilla Macaulay. Music and lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul.

Articulating Your Mental And Emotional Crises Without Using Sondheim Lyrics

Sometimes (hopefully not often), you might talk to someone who won’t know what you mean when you say “My mind is reeling with betrayal like Charley Kringas during Franklin Shepard Inc.” In this class, learn how to assign normal-people words to your feelings, such as “disillusionment,” “dejection,” “despair,” “regret,” “remorse,” “resentment,” “ennui,” “a cold cavern where most people have love, and the chilly breeze that whispers through the emptiness.” Hosted by Rachel Bloom.

Who’s-ie That Newsie?

A crash course in differentiating the dozens of leaping boys in identical outfits and the actors who play them so that you know what your children are talking about. (One of them is Crutchie, and another one is Jeremy Jordan.)

Acting Seminar: The RSL Method

Learn acting techniques such as “authentic stammering” and “standing with your hands on your hips.”

If You Love Hamilton, You’ll Love…

If you’re all finished with Hamilton (as if!), come discover other history-based musicals that are just as zazzy and accessible as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit show: Assassins, Parade, The Scottsboro Boys, and Rags.

First Look: Kirby and Furby

Stoke your sad 90’s nostalgia with the touching romance between two round puff creatures, and get a sneak peak at the 40-foot animatronic Furby puppet that takes 97 stagehands to control. Music and lyrics by Frank Wildhorn.

Ranting RENT

Is RENT your favorite musical ever? Is RENT your least favorite musical ever? Do you find RENT flawed, but you can’t underestimate its impact and find the backlash against it just as overblown as the hype? Do you wish everyone would stop talking about RENT? This panel is for you!

Wicked!

A meet-up for fans from Boston.

First Look: Adulterer? I ‘ardly Knew ‘er!

Jason Robert Brown’s new musical comedy about an unspeakably talented rogue who cheats on his wife and riffs on pianos. Featuring Hugh Jackman’s long-awaited return to Broadway.

Chess

Learn how to play the hit board game based on Tim Rice and ABBA’s hit show (that also makes an appearance in Falsettos).

First Look: Bunuel

Just kidding.

Disn Don Bluth Sing-Along

Come sing songs from your favorite childhood animated films from a less litigious corporation. “The Land Before Time” had a lot of bangers. Jam out to whatever was going on in “Rock-a-Doodle.” Did “The Secret of NIMH” have songs? And a whole lot of “Anastasia!”

Higgins & Pickering & Charley & Frank: Making the Subtext Textual

Best Side Story

Fans vote on their favorite subplots, whether it’s Cordelia’s journey as a caterer in Falsettos, Arpad’s growing ambition in She Loves Me, or Mr. Doolittle’s accidental and unwanted rise to middle-class morality in My Fair Lady.

“Chase The Moon Across America”

Thirty-six students from NYU Tisch sit on a semi-darkened stage and recite the “Night Flight to San Francisco” monologue in perfect, creepy unison.
