“It’s an unforgettable, immersive experience that lures audiences in with visions of sweet, sweet hedonism before bowling them over with a harrowing, unflinching tale that will have them reflecting on present day parallels and their place within the world long after they leave the theater.”
“The team has produced a stunning feat the likes of which Broadway has not experienced in a while.”
“Rankin's is an extraordinary performance that raises the production to new heights.”
“Rebecca Frecknall’s production reinvents this 1966 show so that you may feel that you have never seen it before.”
