There’s a baseball cap and a backpack with dayglow tape; pills are in plastic bottles with childproof caps; when someone runs out of ink while paying bills, they look for a new pen.

The stars of Only Murders In The Building are hard at work on the Hulu show’s next season!

Rachel McAdams brings an instantly heartbreaking quality to her performance in “Mary Jane”: Her steadfast optimism.Writer Amy Herzog’s affecting play, which opened Tuesday night on Broadway at the Samuel J.

Although “Stereophonic” is not a musical, it’s easy to get swept up by the terrific original rock songs that throb through it. Three hours and five minutes, with one intermission. At the John Golden Theatre, 252 West 45th Street.And as writer David Adjmi’s play, which opened Friday night at the John Golden Theatre, is set during the mid 1970s, Will Butler’s music sounds authentically of that edgier era.
