Carrie Chapman Catt is the leader of the NASWA (National American Woman Suffrage Association). She’s been patiently working for women’s right to vote for 60 years. Alice Paul asks her for funds to do a march in Washington, DC. Catt declines so Paul starts her own organization to proceed with her more aggressive tactics. They both want the same goal, but they use very different strategies. 

This musical is very informative and enjoyable. It’s inspiring and will hopefully help to get the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) passed. The cast is full of excellent actors and singers who are Broadway worthy.

Cost of a ticket: $98 (Orchestra)

Vera Vimm buys a frozen caveman for unknown reasons. People suspect that it is to gain publicity for her new Broadway show. Through many twists and turns, it leads to inspiring Eugene O’Neill to write “The Iceman Cometh”. 

The book was written by Erin Quinn Purcell and Jay Reiss. The lyrics were written by Mark Hollmann and Jay Reiss. Together they add up to very funny musical that has the audience laughing uncontrollably. 

Nick Offerman (Parks and Rec, Margo’s Got Money Troubles) is outstanding as O’Neill, especially when he is berating the audience for not know more about him. Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Party Down) is solid as Vera Vimm, who craves the spotlight at all times. Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911!) is hilarious as Vimm’s boyfriend who can’t get her to marry him. Alex Goodrich is so funny as Frankenstein’s monster, even though he just grunts! Sarah Stiles is excellent as Lambert, who suffers from forever menopause. The rest of the supporting cast is great as well.

Overall, it’s a very original musical that makes for a very enjoyable evening of theatre. 

Cost of a ticket: $109 (Main Floor)
