EVERY BRILLIANT THING

By Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe

SEPTEMBER 13-OCTOBER 23, 2022

You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s “brilliant” about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. As you grow, the list will take on a life of its own. Hilarious and heart-wrenching, this critically-acclaimed play is a unique, theatrical experience you will never forget.

Taking place in The Rep’s “Black Box” performance space, the capacity for this production is strictly limited. Only season subscribers will be guaranteed to attend!

“Finds a perfect balance between conveying the struggles of life, and celebrating all that is sweet in it.”

NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 31, 2022

With its brassy, immortal score, this oddball romantic comedy is considered by many to be the perfect musical. Will Nathan Detroit find a location for the secret craps game? Will Adelaide finally get a wedding after her fourteen-year engagement? Will what happened in Havana, stay in Havana? This fun, new production, filled with exciting choreography, is the perfect outing for family and friends during the holiday season.

Rated PG for adult situations.

“An artistic triumph. The perfect musical comedy.”

Experience the hilarity and high-wire act of writing a 1950s live TV comedy hit. Before there was Saturday Night Live, there was Your Show of Shows, watched in 60 million homes every Saturday night. Inspired by the early television career of America’s beloved playwright, Neil Simon, Laughter on the 23rd Floor takes you into the wild writers’ room with characters based on comedy legends Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Sid Caesar. Enjoy Judge Reinhold in his Rep debut. Laughter on the 23rd Floor will be a theatrical experience you’ll never forget.

“Judge Reinhold is a very affable actor, a charming combination of Daffy Duck and Jimmy Stewart.”

-Pauline Kael, The New Yorker

“One of [Simon’s] funniest… Comedy, comedy all the way.”

“Suddenly, Seymour.”

There’s a new breed of plant in town — foul-mouthed… R&B-singing… carnivorous. And if Seymour doesn’t stop “Audrey II”, it just might take over the world! Don’t miss a fresh, new vision of this ridiculous, beloved musical, from the Associate Choreographer of Broadway’s Hamilton. You’ll laugh. You’ll scream. You’ll give up gardening for good.

“Order up!”

In this stirring new play, direct from Broadway, a truck stop sandwich shop offers its formerly incarcerated kitchen staff a shot at reclaiming their lives.  Even as the shop’s callous owner tries to keep them under her thumb, the staff members are given purpose and permission to dream through their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich.

“Critics’ Pick! Though it’s still about dark things (including prison, drugs, homelessness, and poverty), this delightful new play somehow turns them into bright comedy.”
