With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
“The Day I Accidentally Went to War”
Comedian and “Shrinking” co-writer Bill Posley returns to the stage with an encore presentation of “The Day I Accidentally Went to War.” The show is both a funny and heartbreaking look into the veteran experience. Posley recently stopped by the “On Stage” studio to share more about his solo work. “The Day I Accidentally Went to War” is now playing at the Soho Playhouse.
