The Nance, directed by Nick Olcott.With careful discretion, Chauncey arranges an assignation for later with the younger man, Ned, a whippersnapper fresh from Buffalo played with aw-shucks joie de vivre by Patrick Joy.While an opening scene set at the Irving Place Theatre establishes Douglas Carter Beane’s well-plotted comedy-drama within the world of 1930s burlesque, the automat scene succinctly, incisively characterizes Chauncey and his compromised existence as a practicing homosexual at a time and place where that could easily get you arrested.It’s also a time when he might happen to get arrested for doing his job as a burlesque performer who specializes in a pansy act, camping it up onstage as the flamboyantly gay stock character known as “the nance.”The play — a winner of three Tonys in its original Broadway production starring Nathan Lane — finds Chauncey and his fellow artists of the burlesque revue at the Irving Place squarely in the sights of city authorities cracking down on these risqué cabaret showcases for ecdysiasts and vaudeville comedians.There’s a great montage in Singin’ in the Rain during the “Broadway Melody Ballet,” showing the rise of Gene Kelly’s Don Lockwood from burlesque hoofer to vaudeville showman to Broadway headliner.

It’s not a career revival until you star in an A24 film helmed by a buzzy director decades your junior. That seems to be the new rule in Hollywood these days.Just ask Adam Sandler, who revitalized his career with a sweaty, unforgettable performance in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, or Nathan Lane, who’s become a self-described “poster boy for A24” following recent roles in Dicks: The Musical and Beau Is Afraid.Enter Nicolas Cage, whose once-flailing career has enjoyed a rebirth ever since his muted, mournful performance in the 2021 indie sleeper hit Pig.

Dicks: The Musical (★★★☆☆) is exactly the silly, sex-obsessed, do-anything-for-a-laugh (including having Nathan Lane regurgitate ham into the mouths of puppets), song-happy spoof implied by the title. And that’s why it works.“Bravely written by two homosexuals,” according to the opening credits, the film stars those very same creators, Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, as identical twins Craig (Sharp) and Trevor (Jackson), separated at birth.

Dicks: The Musical. With a name like that, how could a film not deliver a ridiculous viewing experience? This new movie, which just arrived in theaters, is a wild and wacky take on the classic story of family reconciliation.

TORONTO: Does “Dicks: The Musical” even need a review? If you’ve seen the trailer you know exactly what you’re getting into, but we’re gonna give it our best shot. Already a cult movie musical before it even hits theaters (not a bad thing), this A24 production is adapted from UCB veterans Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson‘s two-person stage show “F**king Identical Twins” which used to play in the basement of a New York City Gristedes supermarket before the pandemic.

returns. A new trailer for the HBO Original series dropped on Wednesday, teasing an epic war of New York's high society in its upcoming second season.

Can twins successfully bring their parents back together? That sounds like the plot of “The Parent Trap,” but the similarities between that film and “Dicks: The Musical” (previously known as “F*cking Identical Twins“) end there. The new A24 film updates that old formula to instead present two adult businessmen with a similar secret.

the upcoming film adaptation of Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson's off-Broadway musical is a raunchy, hilarious, -style romp. When two douchey business bros, played by Sharp and Jackson, discover that they're long-lost identical twins, they scheme to switch places (despite looking nothing alike) and get their parents back together.This is complicated by the fact that their father, played by Nathan Lane, is «queer as a three-dollar bill, and just as thin,» and their mother, played by Megan Mullally has plans to «drown them in the bathtub, in the old fashioned way.»Megan Thee Stallion makes her feature debut in the film, playing the twins' «lady boss,» who gets a few musical moments of her own (in addition to literally dog-walking some of her underlings).The wild musical also features lyrics like «life's a f*cking handjob, and I always play to win,» co-stars Bowen Yang, and introduces something called the Sewer Boys.

Beau is Afraid (★★☆☆☆), Ari Aster’s ambitious third feature film, in which I weighed how unprofessional it would be to walk out of a three-hour screening early, convinced as I was by that juncture that I was not enjoying myself and would likely not enjoy myself for the duration of the movie.It was about 20 minutes in.If you like vivid nightmares driven by existential depression and crushing grief — which, is to say, if you’re looking for a movie that acts as a mirror for the encroaching suffocation of American life in 2023 — you will love Beau is Afraid.Unlike most horror films that seek to provoke a feeling of escapism from the drudgery of daily life, Aster has drilled deep into the fragile psyche of a nation reeling from two decades of outsized culture war trauma and buttered up those sensitive neuroses with cayenne pepper.That may sound appealing to some viewers. I personally don’t understand watching a movie to be further reminded why everything is on fire with possibly no hope of recovery or redemption.

Filmmaker Ari Aster has oedipal issues. The artist has deeply complicated and unresolved issues with his mother that go back to his earliest movies (to this day, Aster won’t really talk about his mother in the press and has hinted at a troubled, rocky relationship).

during an interview on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” when the Oscar winner then stepped in.“I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane said during a chat on the “Today” show Sunday about being open with his homosexuality in public.“And I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay,” the “Lion King” actor and New Jersey native continued. “I just wanted to talk about finally [I] got a big part in a movie, and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality.”In “The Birdcage,” Williams — who died in 2014 — and Lane played a gay couple whose son is about to be married.Tony winner Lane explained on the morning show how he knew that starring in a queer film would bring inquiries about his own sexuality — and it was “sort of unavoidable.”However, while he knew that Winfrey, 69, wasn’t trying to out him on purpose, he recalled what he mentioned to “Good Will Hunting” star Williams prior to the interview.

Nathan Lane is recalling the sweet moment when Robin Williams saved him from having to talk about his sexuality when he wasn't ready to do so.In an upcoming interview on, the 67-year-old actor fondly remembered the time he and Williams were set to appear on to promote but before doing so, he turned to Williams and told him why he was feeling nervous.«I said to Robin beforehand… 'I'm not prepared to discuss, you know, that I'm gay on national television. I'm not ready,'» Lane says, before revealing Williams told him not to worry.Lane admits not talking about his sexuality was a bit of a challenge, considering his character in the 1996 comedy, Albert Goldman, is an openly gay man who stars in a South Beach drag club owned by his partner, Armand Goldman, played by Williams, who tragically died in August 2014. «And so then, of course she [Winfrey] was like, 'How come you're so good at that girlie stuff? Are you worried about being typecast?'» Lane recalls.

Pictures From Home (★★☆☆☆), Broadway’s lethargic family drama based on a book of photos.Between 1982 and 1992 photographer and college professor Larry Sultan took a bounty of photographs of his parents, Irving and Jean. He captured them in both candid, unrehearsed moments and in staged poses.The process was painstaking, both for him and his subjects, but it ultimately launched them all to a sort of stardom within the photography world. Sultan released the book to numerous accolades and, according to the New York Times, it has “become a definitive guide to narrative photography.”Playwright Sharr White was apparently so moved by the project, he decided to adapt the photos into a play.
