alex edelman, broadway, hudson theatre, just for us

There’s a fair chance that you’ve gotten to catch Alex Edelman‘s internationally acclaimed show Just For Us as it has played Off Broadway for a run that was extended six times (in addition to touring globally to even more praise). Still, several millions of folks live in the Greater NYC Area and have likely missed on their first chance to catch Edelman’s riveting show about what happened following Alex going undercover at a White Nationalist meeting (as Alex is a Jew and very much not a White Nationalist).

With it being such a timely story on top of winning awards and glowing reviews seemingly wherever it plays, Edelman is getting to mount Just For Us once more, but this time on one of the biggest types of stages a comedian can play, Broadway. From Jun. 22nd through Aug. 19th, Edelman will be doing Just For Us up big at The Hudson Theatre playing nearly every night of the week (except for Sunday).

Tickets start at $44 and you better snag them up quick at justforusshow.com as we’ll not at all be surprised if they sell out quick yet again.

Pick of the Day: I’m Glad My Mom Died (in LA) 9/3-9/25

hudson theatre, i'm glad my mom died, jennette mccurdy, la comedy, solo show

One of the most riveting, darkest, yet, still so marvelously funny solo shows we’ve seen in our time is, without a doubt, Jennette McCurdy‘s I’m Glad My Mom Died about “…how her mom’s death went from being the worst thing that ever happened to her to the best thing.” McCurdy’s showbiz career was covered in the pall of her mother’s omnipresence, which Jennette uses to set the perfect stage for the thesis of the show.

The uncompromising vulnerability and catharsis from McCurdy’s stories in this hour accented with very clever production still sticks with us fondly to this day from a few years ago (or maybe eons depending on what the pandemic has done to your sense of time). In fact, this very well might be one of the most cathartic shows you’ll see that has nothing to do with COVID.

She’s going to do a run of I’m Glad My Mom Died at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood for vaccinated audiences on Fridays & Saturdays from Sept. 3rd-Sept. 25th at 8PM PT. Tickets for opening weekend are $17.50 and then $22.50 after that. Please go get tickets for one of those dates ASAP.
