David Hurst takes a look at Which Way to the Stage at MCC Theater:
If you're a musical-theatre-obsessed gay man or one of the many straight women who love them, boy, does MCC have a delightful, new dramedy for you! If you can see past its terrible title (and please try), Which Way to the Stage, written with penetrating insight by Ana Nogueira, blessed with a superb cast, and swiftly directed by Mike Donahue, is a treat that has a lot to say about frustration, friendship, and fan-worship. But be warned, the quips fly by at a furious pace, and the dialogue practically requires a doctorate in musical theatre trivia to catch all the references. |
