This revival by the original Broadway director, Jason Moore, becomes a layered, elegant dance between the puppets and their visible, all-singing operators, who often mirror or undercut their charges’ reactions. The sets, by Anna Louizos, are cartoonish evocations of New York stoops, the Empire State Building and rat-strewn Times Square, augmented by onscreen pastiches of basic educational animation: a graphic of “five night stands” is reduced to “one night stand” before two puppets are discovered in bed.
To provide well-rounded coverage and a breadth of insight across various events, we rely on contributions from several staff writers, each bringing their own area of expertise to our publication.
