Stage Door
Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
Grab a seat in the Club of the Unloved — Emma Rice and the original Kneehigh company are bringing their beloved Tristan & Yseult back to Brooklyn, and it's the kind of theater that ruins you for regular theater. This is the ancient Cornish love triangle you half-remember, told with live music, aerial acrobatics, party balloons, broken hearts, and a house band that never quits. It's funny, it's swooning, it's a little bit devastating, and it has been delighting audiences around the world for two decades for good reason.
St. Ann's Warehouse down in DUMBO is the perfect barn-sized room for Rice's big, messy, joyful staging — bring a date, bring your feelings. It's a strictly limited run: November 1 through November 22 only, so don't sleep on it. If you've never seen a Kneehigh show, consider this your invitation to fall hard.
