TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT TELECHARGE.COM MOBILE RUSH TICKETS AVAILABLE THROUGH TODAYTIX
(New York, NY – Wednesday, October 30, 2019) – Producers David Carpenter, John Arthur Pinckard, and Hunter Arnold are thrilled to announce that the Broadway return of the Tony-nominated, Olivier Award-winning international sensation SLAVA’S SNOWSHOWhas partnered with TodayTix to offer $35 mobile rush tickets beginning at 9 AM EST each performance day. The rush will begin on Monday, November 11 for the first performance at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre (124 W 43rd St., NYC). Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively through the TodayTix app.
SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW will return to Broadway this winter for a limited holiday engagement at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre from November 11, 2019 through January 5, 2020. Tickets are on sale now at Telecharge.com. The production will feature SNOWSHOW creator Slava Polunin alongside Artem Zhimo, Robert Saralp, Vanya Polunin, Georgiy Deliyev, Aelita West, Bradford West, Alexandre Frish, Nikolai Terentiev, Francesco Bifano, Spencer Chandler and Elena Ushakova. The Snowshow company is made up of a number of clowns; it is rarely known in advance which clowns will perform at which performances. The Opening Night Celebration is November 13, with the Press Opening on November 14.
Returning to the New York stage for the first time in over a decade to delight a whole new generation of theatergoers, the singular troupe of SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW brings its spellbinding and romantically wistful theatrical adventure back stateside for the holiday season. Unleashing a breathtaking artistic thrill ride for audiences of all ages and languages, the show offers a dreamlike vision that overflows with magical dynamism and humorous antics, set within an absurd and surrealistic world. Each scene paints a picture: an unlikely shark swimming in a misty sea; heart-breaking goodbyes on a railway platform; an entire audience enveloped in a gigantic web; a wave of vibrant balloons bouncing off the fingertips of theatergoers; and a world-renowned roaring snowstorm of a finale that’s sure to leave audiences spellbound.
SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW made its American debut in 2004 and became an instant theatrical sensation, breaking the record for highest grossing show in the history of the Union Square Theatre. Treating New Yorkers to an immersive experience unlike any other, the show incited The New York Times’ critic to confess, ““my heart leapt… [SNOWSHOW] induces waves of giggles and sighs of pleasure.” The off-Broadway production ran for over 1000 performances, won a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience (2005), and then transferred to Broadway in 2008 for a limited engagement which earned a Tony Award Nomination for Best Special Theatrical Event.
Now a theatrical classic, SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW pushes the boundaries of family show to its highest standards and has been rewarded with more than twenty international awards, including an Olivier Award for Best Entertainment, a Drama Desk Award, and a Tony Award nomination. Having played the world’s major cities many times over, SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is a bona fide international sensation amongst theatergoers and critics who have declared it “a thing of rare theatrical beauty not to be missed” (London Daily Telegraph) and “an unmistakably unique, unmissable comedy masterpiece…It is simply and childishly thrilling, it fills you with innocent amazement and it is lyrically beautiful.” (The Independent)
Born in a small town in central Russia, Slava Polunin discovered the art of pantomime in high school. As he grew to adulthood in Leningrad, he developed an eccentric version of the form, which he lovingly dubbed ‘Expressive Idiotism.’ From 1979 on, Slava quickly became a fixture on Russian stages and TV, sharing his gifts and continuing to redefine the art of clowning with his poetic and poignant approach to comic performance. This discovery would reach its zenith with SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW, which burst onto world stages at the 1996 Edinburgh Festival to universal praise and wonder. Since its debut, the work has toured constantly, introducing new audiences and generations to its world of dreams, fantasies, and childlike wonder.
Created by Slava Polunin, SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is presented in collaboration with Slava and Gwenael Allan. Production Management is by Tinc Productions and General Management is by KGM Theatrical.
Tickets are on sale at Telecharge.com. The show is recommended for audience members age 8 to 108.

This latest limited run of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE had its final Performance on December 30, 2018.
NYGASP’s next New York production will take place March 1 through March 3, 2019, Ô of a double bill of one act operettas: AGES AGO written in 1869 by Sir. W.S. Gilbert and Mr. Frederic Clay and the 1893 Savoy Comic Opera, MR. JERICO by Messrs. Harry Greenbank and Ernest Ford.
Classical Comedy is Serious Business. A review of the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players’ (NYGASP) revival of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE or, The Slave of Duty At the Kaye Playhouse December 29, 2018 by Moshe Bloxenheim, Guest Reviewer
It
is a tribute to their dual devotion to the Savoy Operas and the art of
stagecraft that The New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players manage to come across
as fresh and vibrant in their latest production of the 1879 classic THE PIRATES
OF PENZANCE. While NYGASP sticks close
to the classic idea of the production (with its double edged sword of
“Traditional Performance”) they mine the original material for its inherent
humor and entertainment value as if it were the latest new minted show.
Sir
W.S. Gilbert’s plot for THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE takes on the obligations of
Duty (with a capital “D”) and runs amok
with it. Due to a misunderstanding,
Frederic had been signed on as a Pirate Apprentice by his nursemaid Ruth until
he reached his 21st year. At
that point Frederic announces his intention not merely to leave Piracy, but to
follow his Duty (capitalized “D”) and destroy his mentors – an engagingly loopy
band of cutthroats who cannot bring themselves to harm any orphan and who are now
making a poor living in a world where ALL their possible victims claim to be
orphans. Leaving with the good wishes of
his former guardians, Frederic – having never met any other women at sea –
questions Ruth on whether she will be an ideal woman for him. Ruth’s assurances are wasted when her former
charge discovers the pretty young daughters of Major-General Stanley. Angrily sending Ruth away, Frederic tries to
win over one of the charming young ladies only to have them all spurn him
except for the dazzling Mabel. The
ensuing highly musical moment of joy, love and chaperonage is interrupted by
the returning Pirates who seize the entire group. Just as the Pirates are about carry these
well-bred ladies off and – horror of horrors! – marry them, Major General
Stanley arrives and uses his ingenuity to prevent such a rash act of mass
matrimony. Soon Frederic joins up with
the rather timid local Constabulary with the aim of eliminating the Pirates. All seems to be going Frederic’s way when the
Pirate King and Ruth drop in and reveal a technicality in our heroes terms of
Apprenticeship that plays upon Frederic’s sense of Duty (with the same capital
“D”) and gets him back in their power.
Remember
though – this is a COMIC Opera – and though there may be the threat of lovers
parted for years and a dire pirate vengeance, all will end happily for
everybody.
Sir
Arthur Sullivan’s music is first rate – especially when one realizes that he
had left his original work at home in London and had to recompose most of the
score for the world premiere in New York City – and he and Sir W.S. Gilbert
show their brilliant range from the lush and rollicking piratical “Oh, Better
Far to Live and Die” to the sly excesses of Frederic’s “Oh, Is There Not One
Maiden Breast” and Mabel’s operatic “Poor Wandering One”. Composer and Librettist fully understand that
songs on their own can be funny, sad or romantic but they also prove themselves
experts in the wit of context; such as the Major General’s hilariously pastoral
“Sighing Softly to The River” while surrounded by hidden pirates and policemen in
Act Two.
The
cast consisting of pirates, policemen, daughters, nursemaid and Major General
are marvelous with never a false step.
They are all personalities, not merely mobile stage settings or musical
window dressing.
In
appearance and vocal abilities, Mr. Carter Lynch is as dreamy a Frederic as any
Mabel could wish for. An excellent
actor, Mr. Lynch truly grasps the humor of his role and never loses sincerity no
matter what naiveté or extreme idealism Frederic must exhibit.
The
attractive Ms. Kate Dixon is a perfect Mabel.
A delight on the ear, she brings out the heroic and comic drama of
operatic new love and matches Frederic with the earnestness of her feelings.
Mabel’s
sisters are all appealing and whether they are celebrating the seaside or
urging unwilling officers to “death and glory”, Mss. Hannah Holmes, Amy
Maude-Helfer and Merrill Grant truly shine as the siblings Edith, Kate and
Isabel.
Ruth’s
attempts to keep Frederic for herself could possibly make her the villainess of
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. Fortunately, Ms.
Angela Christine Smith’s deft and comic portrayal of this nursemaid-turned-pirate
shows her as an unsuccessful, yet highly likeable opportunist who is a joy to
listen to.
Exhibiting
pleasing vocal power together with a stylish sword wielding dignity, Mr.
Matthew Wages cuts considerable dash as the Pirate King, making the most of his
contradictory position of a truly nice man in a not so virtuous career.
The
timid and nervous Sergeant of Police is another contrast of a man in an
unlikely line of work. Mr. David Auxier makes
him a memorable and downright hilarious character, exhibiting some highly amusing
reactions and footwork.
As
part of the excellent ensemble of policemen, Mr. Louis Dall’Ava has his own
highly diverting moments as the one officer who does everything wrong even when
he is in the right.
Mr.
James Mills is downright endearing in the role of the Pirate Lieutenant,
Samuel. His Samuel is the pirate who
tries to keep things in some sort of order and even express unwelcome truths.
In
the role of Major General Stanley, Mr. David Macaluso is a treat. Like his colleagues he never lets his portrayal
slip no matter how absurd the situation:
whether he is acting out the phrases of his classic introductory patter
song, “I am The Very Model of a Modern Major General” or executing his fanciful
Act Two pas-de-deux with pirates and policemen in attendance, Mr. Macaluso
ensures that it is the Major General who is being sublimely silly, not he.
Conductor
Albert Bergeret leads his admirable orchestra and singers with a masterful hand
and, together with Mr. David Auxier, directs the show with a joyful zest. The two directors recognize that THE PIRATES
OF PENZANCE is a cartoon, but they make sure to remind us what the show is
parodying as well: villains and heroes
who are more talk than action, overqualified incompetents, romantic idealists,
and so on… This is what keeps a work
that premiered nearly 140 years ago as present and successful as ever.
The
choreography is part of the fun and Mr. Bill Fabris celebrates the moments and
characters staging the Piratic horseplay, the schoolgirl glee of young ladies
let loose on a seaside and the musical theater riff that is slipped into “With
Cat-Like Tread” in Act Two. Whether
staging ensemble pieces or the more intimate numbers, like Mabel and Frederic’s
“Stay Frederic, Stay,” Mr. Fabris shows a skilled touch.
Ms.
Lou Anne Gilleland’s scenic designs of the seashore and the ruined chapel are
fine settings and Ms. Gail J. Wofford and Mr. Quinto Ott’s costumes are quite
picturesque as well, ranging from the eccentric garments of the pirates to the
bouffantly bustled daughters of Major General Stanley. All are suitably lit by Mr. Benjamin Weill’s
atmospheric lighting.
Rapidly
paced shows always make me appreciate the efforts backstage and considering the
rather frantic action of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, kudos must be given to Production
Stage Manager, Joshua Strone and Assistant Stage Manager Annette Dieli who
ensure an apparently seamless frenzy onstage.
People go to THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE expecting musical silliness and NYGASP ensures an abundance of merriment, but they also make you admire both the work that provides the amusement and the artistry needed to deliver it so successfully.
