With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to decide what to see. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of must-see shows this week, guiding you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
“Call Me Izzy”
Six-time Emmy Award-winner Jean Smart is back on Broadway in the play “Call Me Izzy.” In this new work by Jamie Wax, Smart plays the title character — a woman harboring a secret in rural Louisiana. “Call Me Izzy” is currently in previews at Studio 54. Opening night is set for June 12.
“Angry Alan”
On the off-Broadway front, John Krasinski is center stage in the solo play “Angry Alan.” In the show, Krasinski plays Roger — a man who is down on his luck and spirals into an online rabbit hole.
