The Bald Soprano

This is the second production I’ve seen from The Pearl Theatre Company, an off-​Broadway company that specializes in classic productions from Shakespeare to Shaw, Moliere, O’Neill, Chekhov, and Sophocles. Both productions I’ve seen have been professional and engaging with well developed and dynamic characters, beautiful costuming and set design, all within an intimate theatre setting. Plays are performed at NY City Center whose box office is located off of W. 55^th.
The Bald Soprano was an excellent production! I don’t normally go for absurd plays, yet TBS was exactly the right speed and length for me to remain engaged. At just over an hour there is no intermission so make sure you visit the WC before the play starts. The hour flies by with dialogue that flows quickly and, though it was very obtuse, has moments of clarity and commentary on the situations and conversations where we so often find ourselves. The show is entertaining and worth a stop — I don’t know where else you’d see such a quality classic production so well directed.
Oh — do yourself a favor and be sure to read the Director’s Note in the program before the play starts. It really helps give the abstract play some helpful context!
