Bebe Neuwirth stars as Fraulein Schneider in [*Cabaret*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32847-cabaret-tickets) on Broadway at the [August Wilson Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/august-wilson-theatre) from April 1, 2024.

Neuwirth's Broadway career spans decades, beginning with her debut performance in the original 1975 production of *A Chorus Line*. She is best known, however, for her many performances in shows associated with Bob Fosse, including the revues *Dancin'* and *Fosse* and the musicals *Sweet Charity*, *Damn Yankees*, and now *Cabaret*. She is perhaps best known, however, for originating the role of Velma Kelly in the 1996 revival production of *Chicago*, which is still running on Broadway today.

Neuwirth's other New York theatre roles include Morticia Addams in *The Addams Family* and Nana in Sarah Silverman's *The Bedwetter*.

Sarah Silverman's pungently irreverent and profane brand of comedy makes the leap into musical theatre with her funny but uneven new show, <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-bedwetter" target="_blank">The Bedwetter</a>.If a fifth grader belting about pee and impersonating Oscar winner Sally Field cutting the cheese makes you LOL, then you may really, really like this <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/linda-gross-theater" target="_blank">Atlantic Theater Company</a> production. There's more bathroom humor on tap — considering the title, of course there is.&nbsp;Drawn from Silverman's 2010 memoir, the taboo-toppling star is all over the stage adaptation. She co-authored the book with playwright Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/prayer-for-the-french-republic" target="_blank">Prayer for the French Republic</a>) and co-wrote lyrics with the late composer Adam Schlesinger (Cry-Baby, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-bands-visit" target="_blank">The Band's Visit</a> Tony winner David Yazbek is credited as a creative consultant.The two-hour two-act follows 10-year-old Sarah as she struggles to navigate the choppy waters of childhood in Bedford, New Hampshire. Every kid faces challenges. But because she wets the bed and her parents just divorced, plus more heavy family burdens, her hurdles are even higher.Sarah (Zoe Glick) copes by spewing inappropriate and potty-mouthed humor which she's too young to really understand. She jokes about men's bodies and oral sex, being "too Jew-y too ignore," and even her baby brother who died in a freak accident. She's a lot.&nbsp;The first half is essentially "Meet the Silvermans," whose various issues unfurl. Mom Beth Ann (Caissie Levy) is a depressed near-zombie who watches TV all day from bed. Dad Donald (Darren Goldstein), an ex-bedwetter, runs a discount clothing store when he's not bedding every woman in town. Nana (Bebe Neuwirth) chain-sips Manhattans. Big sister Laura (Emily Zimmerman) wants Sarah to disappear.Also in the mix: Sarah's steely teacher (Ellyn Marie Marsh) and snotty schoolmates (Charlotte Elizabeth Curtis, Charlotte MacLeod, and Margot Weintraub), a <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mean-girls" target="_blank">Mean Girls</a>-y trio that Sarah eventually wins over. Tip: Don't underestimate fart jokes as diplomacy. But everything fizzles when Sarah's soggy secret is discovered.The tone turns darker in the shaky second act. Sarah sees quacks (Rick Crom) ready to prescribe pills whose own grips on reality are tenuous. Cue life-size dancing Xanax tablets in a cheesy fever dream choreographed by Byron Easley. Sarah's unlikely ally is Miss New Hampshire (Ashley Blanchet), who pops in to lend support. (She and the Diana Ross character in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/trevor-the-musical" target="_blank">Trevor</a> feel like kindred spirits.)Balancing and blending the show's silly and serious split personality is a tricky assignment that exceeds the creative team and director Anne Kauffman's grasp. The feel-good — well, feel-better — resolution comes off as abrupt and incomplete.&nbsp;Along the way there are laughs. Songs are chipper and spiky, as expected since comedic numbers are among Schlesinger's specialties. But there's a nagging sameness to the score, and it starts to sound like musical wallpaper. Beth Ann's two big sobering songs stand apart. They're part of a growing musical theatre subgenre: troubled mom songs. <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/dear-evan-hansen" target="_blank">Dear Evan Hansen</a> and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/jagged-little-pill" target="_blank">Jagged Little Pill</a> are recent shows that also have them.Design-wise, the show checks boxes efficiently enough. Laura Jellinek's panels and partitions shift to reveal various locales. Kaye Voyce's costumes range from street clothes to pageant-wear. Japhy Weideman's lighting helps set the mood.Levy, fresh from a mom role in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/caroline-or-change" target="_blank">Caroline, or Change</a>, impressively squeezes her solos for every drop of feeling. Neuwirth's performance, like Nana's suit, is beige, but she has one great moment that helps compensate. As Sarah, Glick shoulders the show with a gutsy star turn.The Bedwetter ultimately delivers a message about the powers of streaming your truth. The show is flawed but fun, and it feels at home off Broadway.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-bedwetter" target="_blank">The Bedwetter is at the Linda Gross Theater to July 3.</a>Photo credit: Bebe Neuwirth and Zoe Glick in The Bedwetter.

Chicago on Broadway - NYC [22]

20 years old and she’s still got it, folks!

With the 20th anniversary of [*Chicago*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/22-chicago-tickets) speedily approaching, I took a trip to Broadway’s [Ambassador Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/ambassador-theatre) to witness that timeless story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery… and rest assured, I still hold it near and dear to my heart!

*Chicago* is the second longest-running show in Broadway history, behind Andrew Lloyd Webber’s infamous [*Phantom*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/38-the-phantom-of-the-opera-tickets), and still holds the record of being the longest-running musical revival and longest-running American musical on the Great White Way. So how has this iconic musical managed to outlast its competitors in the increasingly crowded and competitive market place that is Broadway?

One word can sum it all up, really… “Class”… which just so happens to be the title of one of the more reflective numbers in the show. As Velma and Mama Morton were serenading us, asking whatever happened to class, I couldn’t help but think that this production has it in abundance. *Chicago* proves that you don’t need to bombard your audience with a number of lavish sets or elaborate costume changes to put together a winning musical. All you need is a live band on stage, intoxicating the auditorium with that jazz-infused score from the genius that is John Kander and Fred Ebb and sprinkle it with that Bob Fosse-style choreography, and before you know it, you’ve razzle dazzled ‘em! Those tight-fitting, all-black (and often transparent) costumes by William Ivey Long enhance the show’s sensuality with equal measures of male and female exposure and have themselves become as recognisable as the show’s glittering red logo.

You forget how ground-breaking this revival must have been, when it officially opened on Broadway on 14th November 1996. Moments of breaking the fourth wall to introduce the musical numbers and having the conductor of the band interact with the actors on stage, still set *Chicago* apart from its predecessors, and who wouldn’t want to call for their “Exit Music” each time they left the room?

*Chicago* is equally as famous for its revolving casting door, which has seen both Broadway veterans and celebrities from the world of music, TV and film take to the stage and sink their teeth into those coveted principal roles for special limited engagements. Some of the company’s principals have been with the show for quite some time and continue to delight with every performance. NaTasha Yvette Williams’ brassy and sultry Mama Morton, Raymond Bokhour’s ever-loveable Amos and R. Lowe’s skilled, gender-bending performance as Mary Sunshine are always crowd-pleasing and essential parts of the production, offering the degree of stability that takes it smoothly through its many cast changes. Although some would argue that Chicago has been reduced to a star vehicle for celebrities wishing to dip their toes into the world of Broadway, I see it as a living, breathing piece of musical theatre history, which rightfully remains at the Ambassador Theatre and reminds us that all you need is class and, of course, all that jazz!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"As much tribute as revival, the spirit of Fosse's genius never leaves the stage, and Chicago, under Walter Bobbie's sharp direction, will dazzle newcomers to the trademark Fosse dance style and provide a thrilling reminder to those who've seen it before just how smart, sexy and exciting this brand of choreography was, or rather, is."
*Greg Evans for Variety*

"Chicago is a triumph! It doesn't just give us the old razzle-dazzle; it glows."
*Richard Zoglin for Time Magazine*

"Chicago still glitters hypnotically! It remains the best adult entertainment in town and still bubbles with the joy of performing!"
*Ben Brantley for New York Times (2007)*

"The show seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. As entertaining as ever. Brash, buoyant and utterly irresistible!"
*Michael Kuchwara for The Associated Press (2003)*
