Sean Hayes Unravels a Mind-Bending Mystery in The Unknown

In The Unknown, Sean Hayes embodies multiple roles in David Cale’s hypnotic solo play, turning a writer’s pursuit of a stalker into a meditation on unreliable narration. The noir-tinged production—supported by deft lighting and evocative sound—creates an intimate, radio-drama mood that feels timeless, even as Hayes’s coyness and the material’s quirks invite critical ambivalence. Running around 70–75 minutes, the show immerses the audience in a mind game about whether the mystery lies in the stalker or in the storyteller’s mind, under Leigh Silverman’s atmospheric direction at Studio Seaview in Manhattan.

Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! to Close After Seven-Year Run

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will close on Broadway after seven years, with its final performance on July 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, after logging 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews. The show—an adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s film that won 10 Tony Awards—became a costly production due to music rights and elaborate sets, but it recouped its investment in late 2022. Opened in 2019, was interrupted by the pandemic, and reopened in 2021; producers hinted at more announcements before the curtain falls.

Warner Named Artistic Leader of Park Avenue Armory, Pledging Cross-Disciplinary Vision

Deborah Warner, a acclaimed British theatre and opera director, has been named the Park Avenue Armory’s next artistic director after the death of Pierre Audi. Warner plans to bring a cross-disciplinary program to the Armory’s vast, “found space,” continuing Audi’s expansive, global vision while emphasizing collaboration across theater, opera, and other forms. Armory president Rebecca Robertson described the choice as the right fit, and Warner stressed that the institution should blur genre boundaries and unlock unexpected creative collaborations within New York’s landmark drill hall and related spaces.
