#invited if i’m not leaving a show just a little bit haunted, then what’s it all for? this production of girl, interrupted has beautiful music, an absurdly stacked cast, and the quiet, sort of weird community that forms during your worst moments. 🎭 show mentioned: Girl, Interrupted 📍location: The Public Theater • 425 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10003 about the show: Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Martyna Majok brings GIRL, INTERRUPTED to The Public for its stirring world premiere. Based on Susanna Kaysen’s bestselling memoir, this empowering new theatrical production features original music by two-time Grammy Award winner Aimee Mann, choreography by Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh, and direction by Tony Award nominee Jo Bonney. When Susanna admits herself to a psychiatric hospital, following a 15-minute session with a doctor she’d never met, she forms unexpected bonds with the young women inside as they search for connection and a way forward. Raw and unapologetic, this new play with music reveals that the people who witness our darkest moments are often those who truly see us. The complete cast of GIRL, INTERRUPTED includes Leela Bassuk (Understudy), Ta’Rea Campbell (Valerie), Gabi Campo (Tori), Juliana Canfield (Susanna), Eileen Doan (Understudy), Manoel Felciano (Man/Musician), King Princess (Lisa), Gunnar Manchester (Understudy), Mia Pak (Grace), Katherine Reis (Daisy), Anna Roman (Understudy), Sally Shaw (Polly), Emily Skinner (Dr. Wick), Rachel Stern (Understudy), and Lauren Jeanne Thomas (Judy/Musician). #girlinterrupted #publictheater #nyctheatre #nycinfluencer @publictheaterny @cosmos.kyle
