Two-time 2026 Olivier Award winner KENREX arrives at the Lucille Lortel Theatre fresh off its acclaimed London run, and it is exactly the kind of high-octane Off-Broadway evening that makes a Tuesday night feel like a heist movie. Written by and starring Jack Holden, with direction by fellow Olivier nominee Ed Stambollouian, this 85-minute solo show drops you into the small Missouri town of Skidmore in the early 1980s — population: about 400 angry neighbors and one terrible bully named Ken Rex McElroy.

Holden plays all 35 characters: cops, priests, ex-wives, eyewitnesses, the gas-station crowd. John Patrick Elliott’s live original Americana score under-pins every scene, and Anisha Fields’ set-and-costume design turns the Lortel’s intimate stage into a sweaty courthouse, then a porch, then a parked truck. The Guardian called Holden’s performance “astonishing.” We call it a pretty fantastic excuse to leave the apartment on a school night.

If you like your true crime with bite (and a strong point of view about who, exactly, gets to take justice into their own hands), this is your ticket. Lottery and rush details below.
