About the Show

Roundabout reunites writer Joshua Harmon ('Bad Jews,' 'Significant Other') and director Daniel Aukin ('Bad Jews') for this scorching examination of beauty, youth, and sex, starring Idina Menzel.

Reeling from her ex-husband’s engagement to a much younger woman, Jodi Isaac turns to her famous fashion-designer dad for support. Instead, she finds him wrapped up in his West Village townhouse with Trey. Who’s 20. And not necessarily gay. But probably an adult film star. At least, according to Jodi’s son. Who’s also 20. And definitely gay. 'Skintight' assays the nature of love, the power of attraction, and the ways in which a superficial culture persists in teaching its children that all that matters is what’s on the inside.

Absorbing, Great acting, Edgy, Intelligent, Riveting

See it if you enjoy great acting, modern story line, and relevance to current life/culture

Don't see it if you are homophobic, or only like musicals! Despite Idina Menzel being the star she does not sing a word in this play. Read more

Overwrought, Entertaining, Great staging, Great set, Disappointing

See it if you are a fan of the writer and/or Indina Menzel, who gives an overacted yet amusing, solid performance. Good comic timing.

Don't see it if Not a play to sink your teeth into - wanted more. The play is comedic but more substance would have made it more substantial/memorable.

Thought-provoking, Funny, Great writing, Resonant, Clever

See it if you like Joshua Harmon's writing style - realistic modern conversation, you like exploring people's social/behavioral habits.

Don't see it if you've recently been dumped for someone younger...may hit too close to home!

Funny, Quirky, Clever, Disappointing

See it if You are a fan of Idina Menzel. You'll enjoy every scene that she is in.

Don't see it if you expect to hear Idina Menzel sing.

Tough to watch when you detest the leading character

See it if Well acted with some very sympathetic moments and interesting relationships.

Don't see it if You don't like to watch totally spoiled and egotistic and to me, unsympathetic characters intrude on other peoples lives.

Ambitious, Funny, Great acting, Thought-provoking, Relevant

See it if Harmon's take on youth/celebrity driven America thru an upscale Jewish family Great ensemble esp Menzel & Gelb with copious black humor

Don't see it if Author sadly glides on the surface of many serious issues causing drama to resemble a Calvin underwear print ad - pretty, vapid & remote
