What better way to start out the New Year than to head to where all the action is, New York City! This is a place packed full of TRAVEL THERAPY options and I just bought tickets to the hottest new Broadway show August: Osage County because I’ve heard it is a MUST SEE!
The show just opened a few weeks ago and has already gotten fantastic reviews so this is your chance to see a hit early and beat all the crowds. The New York Times calls it the “The most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years!” US Today is giving it 4 stars and the accolades go on and on!
Here’s the skinny:
August: Osage County comes to Broadway directly from its critically acclaimed sold-out engagement at Chicago’s Tony Award-winning Steppenwolf Theatre Company. This thrilling new American play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy Letts (Bug, Killer Joe) has been hailed by the New York Times as “hugely entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny dialogue, acid-etched characterizations and scenes of no-holds-barred emotional combat.” When their patriarch vanishes, the Weston clan must return to their three-story home in rural Oklahoma to get to the heart of the matter. With rich insight and brilliant humor, Letts paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a turning point that is “not-to-be-missed” (Chicago Tribune). Anna D. Shapiro (The Pain and the Itch) directs the “dazzling good” (Chicago Sun-Times ensemble in what Variety calls “a deep and highly entertaining work, consistently rich, raw and intense, filled with viciousness and vicious wit.”
“Viciousness and vicious wit,” doesn’t that just sound delicious!
