About the Show

The Duke on 42nd Street presents an encore run of this modern riff on Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro,' which recasts the opera as a madcap comedy about citizenship in today's America.

See it if you enjoy modern opera with a twist. Wonderful singing. Laugh out loud. Cheeks hurt from smiling!

Thought-provoking, Relevant, Great writing, Funny, Great singing

See it if you appreciate a pinch of hip-hop in your Mozart and a dash of current politics in your Beaumarchais.

Don't see it if you can only digest your opera if it's by-the book, starched, hot-pressed, manicured and carefully checked for any modern additions. Read more

See it if You like hearing beautiful voices singing Mozart and having a helluva good time doing it. You like a clever, excellent update of a classic.

Don't see it if You want to see a traditional "Marriage of Figaro" and don't like seeing it tampered with.

Clever, Delightful, Great singing, Relevant, Funny

See it if You enjoy seeing classic works modernized and reworked. You are interested in a marriage between opera and musical theatre.

Don't see it if You are an opera purist. If raunchy, broad humor bothers you. If you are looking for subtlety or realism. Read more

See it if you want to hear great voices and lovely live music (Mozart's!). Most of the new lyrics/plot work. It's a little long, but worth the time.

Don't see it if you hate operatic voices (altho the lyrics are in English and have supertitles). I didn't know what to expect...and I had a great time! Read more

Absorbing, Entertaining, Great singing, Thought-provoking, Resonant

See it if You like operas and political topics, and the fact that they are combined together. Really refreshing and relevant.

Don't see it if You only enjoy serious topics. Most of the singing is fantastic, but there are weak singers in the cast. Read more

Absorbing, Funny, Resonant, Entertaining

See it if You are a fan of opera. This is Mozart's music with words in English and Spanish. But it's opera. And it's great fun.

Don't see it if You are tired of the White Guy being the villain. It's a great show, but I, personally, am becoming tired of the same bad guy.
