9 Shows You Need to See in New York This Fall
TheaterMania: I love autumn in New York. As the air becomes cooler and crisper, you can almost feel the anticipation, as if something remarkable is about to begin. For we TheaterManiacs, that is mostly about the upcoming theater season.

I am so looking forward to this upcoming Broadway season, especially since it’s one of the first seasons really back to “normal.” I am particularly fascinated by Leopoldstadt. The scenic and costume design of this production looks absolutely beautiful, and I would see it just for that. The chandelier and rug, and the fact that it feels like a full open room is so jarring. But on top of that, as a Jew, I am automatically intrigued by the subject matter. I feel like there is something about the Jewish experience that lends itself extremely well to theatre - and it may be hard to truly put a finger on it. Especially because the play is personal, and Stoppard’s grandparents died in concentration camps, I would imagine that this piece is particularly emotionally raw. The concept of the show seems very thought-provoking. Apparently, the show spans 50 years in 2 hours, and I am interested to see how the design invokes this.
