Want to see a show with smart writing, catchy melodies, wonderful performances on a clever efficient set (by Adam Koch), with great costumes (by Alejo Vietti) and two terrific performances, one of them a star? Check out off-Broadway's Rooms - a rock musical, with music and lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman and book by Goodman and Miriam Gordon.
A reclusive, alcoholic working class young man with shy charm (the excellent Doug Kreeger) meets lively, ambitious middle class girl (the major star, Leslie Kritzer) and they collaborate on a singing career in the '70's. Director Scott Schwartz and choreographer Matt Williams are brilliant, and Kritzer practically bounces off the ceiling. It's the brightest, best staged, best performed little musical in town, and the amazing punk number will knock your socks off in all areas.
