New Bored and Confused REVIEW: the Malcolm Edition! 🎭

My best plus-one and I saw Delirium at The Space at Irondale, walked to the subway in total silence, and saved the debate for the next morning. Was it absurd? Was it funny? Was it bored, confused, or both? Plus, a warning about the worst row in the house.

New review is up! 🎭 I checked out THE BODY OF MARY at the gym at Judson — Katie Cappiello's absurdist, three-act take on patriarchy, reproduction, and the Catholic Church. Loved the third act, struggled hard with the tonal whiplash in the second. Was I Bored? Was I Confused? Watch to find out 👇

New Bored and Confused review! 🎭

I saw DISRUPTION Off-Broadway — a futuristic play about AI, algorithms, and what happens when technology starts influencing the choices we make.

I found the central idea fascinating, really enjoyed much of the cast, and also had some serious questions about the pacing, characters, staging… and whether the play was trying to do WAY too much.

New review is up! 🎭 I checked out In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat — Roger Guenveur Smith's solo tribute to his late friend, playing now at New York Theatre Workshop. Hypnotic spoken word, incredible live sound design, and a performance that commands the stage start to finish. Was I bored? Was I confused? Watch to find out 👇
