Now. Here. This. The latest collaboration from the [title of show] team is back at the Vineyard Theatre. (Readers may remember that it had a week-long lab run at the Vineyard this summer. I LOVED it.) This full production opened on Thursday (see photos here and here), but earlier in the week, the Vineyard announced that the poignant and wonderfully expressive show would play an extra week! Visit Playbill for more details about the extension; head over to Broadway.com for interviews with the creators; and then run to the Vineyard box office to purchase tickets. (I'm seeing it this weekend - I'll bring you a full report on this iteration next week!)
