Biting mockery, searing nihilism, maddening cronyism, mounting betrayal, dizzying duplicity, absurd hypocrisy, outrageous narcissism, masochism and sadism, and, most significantly, exquisite poetry…and that’s only in the first ten minutes, folks! What happens when a sensitive poetic boy becomes king of the world’s most powerful nation at 10? Without Prozac, the odds don’t look good. What does look good is the story of Shakespeare’s Richard II: one of the most lyrical, brilliant, eloquent, and radical of the bard’s plays. Bursting at the seams with poets and thugs, fantasia and realism, martyrdom and brutality, DICK 2 offers one of the most mesmerizing political and psychological tales ever told. Even more tantalizing is that it’s now being revived by one of the city’s most innovative, young theater companies, the Theatre of the Expendable.

Know Before You Go
Both romantic and scary, The Phantom of the Opera is a thrilling night of theater with grand emotions.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score, with its beloved signature song “Music of the Night,” sets the mood,
but you may also find yourself humming the gorgeous period costumes and simple yet grand sets
(even the famous chandelier, which probably falls slower than you’d expect, is a thrill).
