Time Out says

The perfect size for a playhouse (with 804 seats), the John Golden was home to the naughty puppet musical Avenue Q for several years. Generally, though, it's a good place to see serious drama, such as Edward Albee's The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? and John Logan's Mark Rothko bioplay, Red. In 1956, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot had its American premiere at the Golden.

What’s on

Stereophonic

  • Drama

The extended and notoriously disharmonious recording process that led to Fleetwood Mac’s smash 1977 LP Rumours is the inspiration for David Adjmi’s long and beautiful group portrait of a rock band riven along artistic, romantic and pharmaceutical fault lines. Every aspect of the show is excellent in isolation, from the ensemble acting—by Will Brill, Andrew R. Butler, Juliana Canfield, Eli Gelb, Tom Pecinka, Sarah Pidgeon and Chris Stack—to the pitch-perfect original songs by Arcade Fire's Will Butler and the heightened-verité design (including sets by David Zinn, costumes by Enver Chakartash and sound by Ryan Rumery). Mixed together in Daniel Aukin’s meticulously layered production, they cohere into a riveting multitrack train wreck.
