Anyone have any thoughts on Disruption? One of our theater writers REALLY enjoyed it. But, I've been seeing mixed feelings and reviews. Here's ours if anyone is interested! Stay well.

New Play Alert: Snazzy by Joe Staton

Many folks remember getting their face painted as a kid in the '90s.

Few of us know the story of the woman who helped turn it into a global phenomenon.

Snazzy tells the true story of a young single mother whose creativity changed childhood forever. Funny, nostalgic, and unexpectedly moving. Joe Staton, the playwright, is her son!

We caught up with him for an interview ahead of his show, because it looked so interesting. If anyone wants to learn more, here's the link. Interview

A Walk on the Moon Musical??

Saw A Walk on the Moon at the Laura Pels Theatre and came away with mixed feelings. The cast is excellent, especially Talia Suskauer and Sophie Pollono, and there are some genuinely beautiful musical moments.

What I kept coming back to, though, was whether this story really benefits from being adapted into a musical. The performances are strong, but I wasn't convinced by the central relationship or what the adaptation added to the original film.

Curious if anyone else has seen it. Did it work for you, or did you leave asking the same question?

Dad Don't Read This

Thought I'd share our review of Dad Don't Read This since I know a lot of people here have been talking about it. We really enjoyed how well it captured that weird, chaotic period of adolescence, especially the way The Sims becomes this tiny window into how these girls see the world.Read it here

Tawk of New Yawk - NYC, New York, and City Niche Bookstagram

Hi everyone!

I'm the founder and editor of Tawk of New Yawk, a New York City cultural online magazine. We cover the people, stories, and creative communities that make this city fascinating.

Lately, we've been expanding our literary coverage and interviewing authors, librarians, booksellers, and other people shaping New York's book culture. We love books set in New York, books by New York authors, big city books, and stories that make you see a city differently.

If you've ever spent an afternoon getting lost in a bookstore, carried a novel onto the subway, planned a trip because of a book, dreamed of sitting in a cafe with an iced latte (more creamer than coffee obv) while reading, or fallen in love with a neighborhood through a story, we'd love to connect.

We're looking to meet readers, writers, librarians, booksellers, Bookstagrammers, publishing folks, and anyone who gets excited about the literary life of New York.

Follow along and introduce yourself, we'd love to know what you're reading and what corner of the city inspires you most. 📚🗽

Thoughts on Company XIV's New(ish) Petite Rouge

"Of course, Company XIV has always understood that seduction works best when paired with humor. One of the evening's highlights was the appearance of Grand-mère, portrayed by a male performer with cartoonishly sagging breasts. The absurdity of the performance had the audience delighted with laughter. Set to a song about "Grand-mère," it also served as a clever nod to the French court aesthetic that runs throughout the production. This was for sure one of the highlights of the entire performance."https://www.tawkofnewyawk.com/tnyarchive/u08a693v2ob7bo8ci2vjqetkfxdwdj-2026
