The Lowdown
Billy Porter and Wayne Brady are taking the lead as Albin and Georges, a pairing that suggests the production is aiming for genuine weight rather than mere spectacle. Robert O’Hara is directing, and he typically knows how to strip away the dust from a legacy script. We are getting Jerry Herman’s original 1983 orchestrations, which is a rare treat for those of us tired of the over-synthesized junk usually cluttering Midtown. The premise—a drag club owner navigating family and identity on the French Riviera—is foundational to the musical theater canon. It remains a vital piece of history. Expect high demand for these seats; once the word gets out, the lobby will be a disaster.
