Reviews
PF: La Cage Aux Folles @ City Center Encores!, through June 28, 2026
MP: West Side Story @ Paper Mill, through June 28, 2026
MP: National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic @ Carnegie Hall, Wednesday, June 17, 2026
Led by Carnegie Hall Perspectives Artist Marin Alsop, the NOI Philharmonic makes its Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage debut in a program that weaves together multiple perspectives on the American experience. The evening includes selections from Bernstein’s West Side Story and On the Town, alongside Gabriela Ortiz’s lively, percussive Antrópolis and Kevin Puts’s concerto Contact, a work that highlights the need for human connection. The orchestra is joined on Contact by the genre-crossing trio Time for Three.
PF: HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts @ The Public Theater (Newman Theater), through July 19, 2026
By William Shakespeare
A Trilogy in Two Parts
Adapted and Directed by Stephen Brown-Fried
Part 1: Foreign Wars
Part 2: Civil Strife
PF: The 15th Annual Off-Broadway Alliance Awards, June 16, 2026 @ Sardi’s
PF: Camping @ HERE, through July 11, 2026
“This is a love story. It’s hands that smell of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue after days spent clutching fistfuls of her hair. It’s the rain hitting the earth in a way that reminds you of blood, that makes you think the world’s holding a knife to your underwear. It’s the spins. It’s running out of air because you gulped too much of it while you were sobbing. It’s waking up hot and sticky. It’s desperately falling in love with your best friend inside a camping tent while everything outside rages.
In Victoria Lynne Barclay’s Camping, Brit and Ari collide over and over again, reaching for each other across the fractures that are born of time and distance. Three decades. One tent. A million things left unsaid.”
