The Irma Vanishes


If I had my druthers, you'd be reading a review of Next Act Theatre's The Mystery of Irma Vep on this very page. But that's been sabotaged by the sheer popularity of the show. Unable to attend on opening night, I tried to nab a seat last week, only to be faced with a big fat SOLD OUT. That's OK. There's always next week, and knowing my 10-year-old son likes a good mummy joke as much as the next guy, I thought I'd catch the show with him. No such luck. In fact, the current Next Act calendar shows the sell outs stretching into the second week in May. Good for John McGivern and Chris Tarjan, who I'm sure have great fun with Charles Busch's script. Good for David Cescarini and Charles Kakuk and all the folks at Next Act.
