I Can Get It For You Wholesale

I Can Get It For You Wholesale - NYC Product Media

It’s incredible that the cultural legacy of [*I Can Get It For You Wholesale*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28275-i-can-get-it-for-you-wholesale-tickets) — the 1962 musical by Jerome Weidman (book) and Harold Rome (music and lyrics), loosely based on Weidman’s novel — is fairly limited to the fact that it marked Barbra Streisand's Broadway debut. It seems particularly ironic given that the show’s primary thematic anxiety is legacy itself, situated in the context of a world hostile to Jews.

The first scene depicts protagonist Harry Bogen (Santino Fontana) looking back at his younger self being bullied by an anti-Semite. When he returns home, something about the experience, and the fact that little besides his mother (Judy Kuhn) and her cooking comfort him, fuels a fire that will soon overwhelm him. 

In Trip Cullman’s new production at [Classic Stage Company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/classic-stage-company), Harry is as ambitious an entrepreneur as almost anyone on the stage these days, making deals to start businesses before he has the funds — and selling out his friends along the way. That the actors don their final accessories as they first enter makes it easy to imagine that everyone could have gotten ready entirely on stage, the audience watching them transform. Because that’s what Harry wants: transformation.

He’ll buy his mother mink stoles and, in his pursuit to make his dress company a fashion giant, butter up buyers with caviar and champagne. He truly wants to reenvision himself as a bright star in the firmament of the American Dream. *Wholesale* casts him as a proto-Talented Mr. Ripley in the way he wants to use charm offensive to get what he wants, while maintaining a more agreeable guise.

He’s a scammer, robbing one friend to pay another, playing with family friend Ruthie’s (Rebecca Naomi Jones) heart while succumbing to equally materialistic actress Martha Mills (Joy Woods). But, as his spending fails to add up, the world starts to close in on Harry's dreams of having it all.

Weidman’s book (now revised by his son, John Weidman) and Rome’s score often seem at odds with each other, and the show's intended tone is frequently unclear. While the show is increasingly aware of Bogen’s dubiousness, there’s a jovial quality to the music that doesn’t gel with the seriousness of a story about misplaced racial and class trauma fueling cutthroat ambition.

That *Wholesale* ties itself to Jewish families also serves as an obstacle for a more coherent show. Is it that American industrialism and modernity and Jewish family values are incompatible? Or that Harry simply abandoned those values to assimilate? Regardless, Fontana nails the desperation of wanting to escape where you came from and making that desire work overtime, but he is less charming than hoped. If the character succeeds in convincing everyone (until he can’t) that he’s trustworthy, Harry’s all-consuming drive papers over his appeal.

Conversely, Woods is the show’s icon. Every time she sets foot on stage, you hope the gold dust from her stardom rubs off on you. In “The Sound of Money” alone, Woods, with her gorgeous wingspan and blinding seductive appeal, makes the trip to the theatre worth every cent.

If you're triggered by the sight and sound of guns (even prop replicas), it'd be wise to skip the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/classic-stage-company">Classic Stage Company's</a> production of Stephen Sondheim's strange and stirring <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/assassins">Assassins</a>. Rifles and revolvers get plenty of play. That said, missing this show would be a shame —&nbsp;if you can snag a ticket. Set to open 19 months ago but delayed by the pandemic, director and designer John Doyle's take on this darkly humorous slice of history is tight, insightful, and impeccably performed. It aims, fires, and hits the mark.&nbsp;Connecting the dots —&nbsp;and the bullet casings —&nbsp;between a motley crew of crazies who murdered or tried to kill American presidents is an out-there idea. Making John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr., Squeaky Fromme, and other homicidal types sing as a musical? That's doubling down. That's the point. Sondheim and book writer John Weidman built a show to provoke.&nbsp;Assassins did that in its 1990 premiere off Broadway, its Tony Award-winning staging in 2004, and its Encores! Off-Center series run in 2017. The musical doesn't celebrate or glorify assassins, but provides food for thought about how their dreams and motivations to pull the trigger were forged and nurtured by American culture and our nation's less-than-perfect union. A lyric that stubbornly sticks in the head refers to Booth but transcends him and is evergreen: "Every now and then the country goes a little wrong." It's a point, unfortunately, that always rings true. A last-minute projection in this revival drives that point home.Structurally, the show unfurls as a musical revue, if not a semi-burlesque. The Proprietor (Eddie Cooper) sets things in motion, reminding members of the murderous mob that "Everybody's got a right to their dreams." Even when the visions turn deadly. Sondheim's often-hummable songs ably mirror music the period from which the real-life figures emerge.Doyle's starry cast of Broadway veterans slay. Steven Pasquale brings a sinister sexy charm as the self-aggrandizing Booth, while Ethan Slater nails his roles as the amiable guitar-strumming Balladeer threaded throughout the piece and John F. Kennedy killer Oswald. Andy Grotelueschen, in a soiled Santa Suit, is a laugh-inducing gift that keeps on giving as Samuel Byck, who recorded plans to undo Richard Nixon via a plane crash.&nbsp;Tavi Gevinson, as Charles Manson-mad Squeaky, and Judy Kuhn, as the firearm fumbling Sara Jane Moore, play wannabe Gerald Ford killers and make a scene that revolves around Kentucky Fried Chicken a crackling highlight. "Unworthy of Your Love," Gevinson's duet with Adam Chanler-Berat&nbsp;as Hinckley, delights as it showcases their talents and Sondheim's flair for sweet melodies and sicko romantic sentiments. "Let me feel fire, let me drink poison ... " sings Squeaky, whose extreme lengths would make Passion's Fosca sit up and take notice.Will Swenson, Wesley Taylor, and Brandon Uranowitz shine, respectively, as Charles Guiteau, who killed James Garfield;&nbsp;Giuseppe Zangara, who tried to murder Franklin D. Roosevelt;&nbsp;and Leon Czolgosz, who assassinated William McKinley.In addition to a prominent presidential seal that turns into a target, the star-spangled banner dominates Doyle's scenic design. A flag is painted across the entire stage, a flag design is on masks worn by the cast, and flags that bleed in theatrical fashion are used ceremonially. It's an evocative and unifying choice. By the end of the show killers and would-be assassins have wiped their feet and noses all over the stars and stripes. Doyle departs as CSC's artistic director in 2022. Judging by this show, he's going out with a bang.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/assassins">Assassins is running through January&nbsp;29 at Classic Stage Company.</a>Photo credit: The company of Assassins.

SIX on Broadway

SIX on Broadway [20737] Product Media

There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering a show and then going back to see it again (and again) with someone who has never seen it before. As someone who goes to the theatre for work, I view every night as a treasure hunt for the next theatrical crown jewel, and I love revisiting these gems time and again with friends and family.&nbsp;So when I saw a little show called <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/20737-six-musical-tickets">Six</a> for the first time in London's West End in 2019, I couldn't wait to evangelize about it and take everyone I know. When the show came to the U.S. for a North American tour before heading to Broadway, I took my brother and sister-in-law to the show at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.&nbsp;And when the show was preparing for its March 2020 Broadway bow, I took a good friend, dancing in the aisles at the last show I saw before the pandemic shutdown.&nbsp;Now, the production is the first new musical to return to Broadway since theatres closed, and in the intervening time, I've actually moved to London, where I was at the musical's first performance back in the West End in May 2021. So being back in New York for Broadway's reopening and seeing Six (for the sixth time, no less) feels like a seminal moment for the show.&nbsp;This time, I also took a good friend, who also had never seen the show or heard any of the music. Watching her experience pure musical theatre elation for a pop-packed 75 minutes was greater than any returning-to-theatre joy I could have imagined. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll dance. It's everything a theatre experience should be and more.&nbsp;So what is Six, you might ask, oh uninitiated one? The show is essentially a pop concert featuring the six wives of&nbsp;Henry VIII belting and riffing about all the "bullsh*t" they had to put up with from the king. Featuring vocal stylings in the vein of Nicki Minaj, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, and more, the performers deliver a "histo-remix," in a concise and endlessly catchy concert-style show that is part singing competition, part history lesson.&nbsp;Now, you don't need me to tell you how popular the music is, as the U.K. cast recording has been streamed over 100 million times, and writers Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow (also the show's co-director with Jamie Armitage) have scored a deal to write pop music. Not bad for two students at Cambridge who came up with this show in school and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp;The queendom has now gone global, and the Broadway production is bigger, bolder, and beltier than any Six I've seen yet. From new riffs to surprise costume reveals, every element has been leveled up for New York, leaving no stone unturned. Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Brittney Mack (Anna of Cleves), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) form a tight ensemble, fulfilling all your girl group dreams and your next karaoke night.&nbsp;The show itself is a retro-mashup with Gabrielle Slade's bedazzled costumes featuring Reformation-inspired silhouettes; Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's choreography showcases Tudor-meets-pop moves; and Emma Bailey's scenery and Tim Deiling's lighting feels like what a royal ballroom might look like in a techno disco.&nbsp;Ultimately, the queens' own stories of overcoming struggles and the show's circuitous journey to Broadway are also beacons for the power of positivity, perseverance, and coming together in times of struggle. Just like these six "ex-wives," we've all had it rough for the past year and a half, and the queens are here to bring in a new regime. Long may they reign.&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is playing on Broadway at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/lena-horne-theatre">Lena Horne Theatre</a>. &nbsp;

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.

[*White Girl in Danger*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26340-white-girl-in-danger-tickets) is Michael R. Jackson’s latest musical foray. The story-within-a-story takes place in Allwhite, a fictional universe infused with soap opera tropes and flairs for the melodramatic. Here, Keesha is a “Blackground” actor stuck in a loop of slave narratives and stories of police brutality. But when Keesha gets promoted to the Allwhite Best Friend character, she sees a pathway to landing a central storyline.

At the Allwhite high school, Keesha plays bestie to Megan, Maegan, and Meagan, a trio of white girls with myriad issues. Megan (Molly Hager) has a drinking problem, Maegen (Alyse Alan Louis) struggles with an eating disorder, and Meagan (Lauren Marcus) is a klutz with an abusive boyfriend (Eric William Morris). Keesha is the foil to their chaos. The Megans just want their band, Girlwhite, to take home the top prize at the upcoming Battle of the Bands, but Keesha is creeping in on their turf. Oh, and there’s a killer on the loose.

Like Jackson’s Tony Award-winning [*A Strange Loop*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24619-a-strange-loop-tickets), *White Girl in Danger* is highly referential. It nods to soap operas, musicals, satires, thrillers, and even fantasy novels. It’s chock-full of Easter eggs for pop culture enthusiasts. It’s hard to catch them all, especially the ones stuffed into fast-paced songs. Under the direction of Lileana Blain-Cruz, the musical catapults through time and space swiftly.

The design helps to transport the audience through the wild ride of genres. The Allwhite high school is reminiscent of the ‘80s sitcom *Saved By the Bell*, with a Memphis-style design of zigzag walls and bright lockers by scenic designer Adam Rigg. At the annual “Anti-Allwhite Diamond charity fashion show for Blackground Representation Matters,” the actors don glittery gowns with shoulder pads (by costume designer Montana Levi Blanco), a nod to the long-running soap *Dynasty*. The raucous number “Let’s Party” mirrors house parties in ‘90s flicks, complete with pulsing lights (by Jen Schriever), grunge attire, and red Solo cups.

The ride of this three-hour musical is too long, especially considering Keesha reaches her outlined objectives by the end of Act 1. But she wants more — she wants to dismantle Allwhite supremacy and lift the Blackgrounds from oppression. The second act cascades into several more genres and hits hot-button issues, one after another. There is a big payoff, though, that brings the rambling story to a close. (It’s too bad some audience members in my row left at intermission and missed it.)

The performances are certainly worth sticking around for. As Keesha, Latoya Edwards is exacting and steadfast in achieving the character’s motives, whether she’s portraying a runaway enslaved person, a self-assured lawyer, or a seductive lesbian. As the storylines shift, Edwards seamlessly transitions and brings the audience along for the ride, full throttle. 

Tarra Conner Jones delivers a standout performance as Nell Gibbs, Keesha’s mother who sacrifices her own plot to center her daughter’s. Throughout the musical, Nell takes on various roles in the Allwhite universe, from school lunch lady to nurse to the assistant district attorney to mammy. Her powerful pipes soar in several songs, particularly the 11 o’clock number “Why I Kill.” Jones elicits audience laughter with her physical comedy, even simple sidelong glances. Best of all, she fully embodies the character of a mother with a deep well of unconditional love, despite her daughter’s antics. As Keesha puts it: “You are the greatest Mom character of all time.”

Fans of *A Strange Loop* will enjoy this jaunt through Jackson’s imagination. *A Strange Loop* redefined the musical form, and *White Girl in Danger* carries that torch forward and revises the soap opera to boot. It could use some trimming, but this musical is multi-layered, humorous, and jam-packed with power songs.

Before learning what Sean Daniels's [*The White Chip*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/37066-the-white-chip) was about, I heard the title and immediately thought casino chips. Maybe it's not too much of a stretch. Daniel's autobiographical story is about a man who, drink (after drink) in hand, takes gambles — though not with money, but with his livelihood.

For those of us (perhaps fortunately) unaware, the title actually refers to the token Alcoholics Anonymous attendees receive on day one — or potentially multiple day ones — of sobriety. At one point in the play, Steven (the stand-in for Daniels, played by Joe Tapper) acquires enough to fill a fishbowl. It might be an exaggeration for comic effect, but it makes the point: His battle with addiction is a long and rocky one.

Let's back up. We first meet Steven when he's a 12-year-old Mormon sneaking beer with a friend. From there, he morphs into a hard-partying college student, a three-martini lunch professional, and when he lands a plum job in the top ranks of a theatre company, a constant day-drinker of vodka and Diet Coke — or as his coworkers perceive him, simply quirky. "You’re an artist. You’re expected to be eccentric!" he exclaims.

Cue laughter, of which *The White Chip* surprisingly invites a lot. Steven is chipper and charming, almost cartoonishly so, regaling the audience with his booze-fueled misadventures as though he were the face of an ad for the stuff. Over-the-top sound effects (by Leon Rothenberg) and physicality (by director Sharyl Keller) only add to this feeling.

Therein lies the cleverness of Daniels's play: Steven is being ironically self-aware and, at the same time, reenacting a past version of himself that unironically hailed alcohol as the reason for all his successes and therefore as much of a necessity as oxygen.

Halfway through the 90-minute show, when Steven's peers begin to see through his facade, the play's artifice disappears, too. Mostly gone are the sound effects and the overly cheery delivery. A sense of reverence that lurked in the background slowly creeps forward, but save for a few syrupy lines, Daniels avoids a preachy tone and still gives audiences the space to laugh with his flawed characters.

Tapper is joined by two co-stars, who each play numerous figures in Steven's life and expertly match the play's tone shifts. Crystal Dickinson, an invaluable asset to every show she's in, hits the bullseye on both sincere and comic marks. An amiable Jason Tam particularly amuses as an ex-Air Force, ex-coke addict-turned-Jesus freak that helps Steven through rehab, but he also tugs on the heartstrings as Steven's Parkinson's-afflicted dad.

As much as *The White Chip* centers heavily on Steven, it actually is a tale of community. Steven initially peppers his story with people who enable him: his Mormon friend, his liquid lunch buddies, airport bartenders. By the end, they've shrunk to tempting voices in his head, but in their place are the people who help pull him through.
