The Wild Party Has A Ball At City Center

“LaChiusa’s hot-jazz score unspools like a fabulous nightmare.” Helen Shaw, The New York Times

“Brown’s picturesque, well-paced production—the show runs about two hours and there is no intermission—is enhanced considerably by Katie Spelman’s choreography, which easily blends vintage theatrical patterns and social dancing with abstract and individual movements as needed; people are almost always moving in the background even as the various characters come into focus.” Michael Sommers, New York Stage Review

“Wesley J. Barnes and Joseph Anthony Byrd flash a fractious fraternal chemistry as a song-and-dance duo modeled on Fayard and Harold Nicholas, harmonizing and shuffling to Katie Spelman’s period-perfect choreography in Linda Cho’s stylishly sophisticated costumes.” Thom Grier, Culture Sauce
