Tin Can Bros have a devoted fanbase from Spies Are Forever and their StarKid-era work, and this is a four-show New York stop for a brand-new musical. Gross Prophets casts the audience as seminar recruits while Lauren Lopez, Joey Richter and Marty Scanlon play gurus drowning in buzzwords, set to songs by Angela Parrish and Ali Gordon. If you love musical-theatre comedy, this is the weekend's cult ticket.
What to expect
A small-theatre musical staged like a recruitment seminar, so expect the performers to address and involve the crowd. The satire targets grind culture and self-help scams, with original songs throughout. There are evening and matinee performances across the three days.
Good to know
- Only four performances, so fan demand can outpace seats.
- 6 to 23 St, or the R/W to 23 St, then walk to East 24th Street.
- Audience interaction is part of the format.
- Matinee performances suit anyone avoiding a late night.
