This is a solo show about a young man named Nixon, who aged out of the foster care system in Illinois and is now engaged to a man with a mullet haircut whom he met on a train. Before he can marry, Nixon must return to the places of his youth to make peace with his past and break a promise to a vampire he once knew. This play is about how childhood plays itself out, parentless children, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Eyre. World Premiere

Ragtime is picking up some big awards! Caissie Levy just won for Best Actress in a Musical. Maybe they'll extend (again)?

Death of a Salesman wins Best Revival of a Play. Amazing it's been revived on Broadway twice SINCE the pandemic. And such incredibly different productions.
