One very cool part of my job is the variety of press invites we receive, and this past weekend I was so honored to get invited and bring my husband along to see a brand new and AMAZING show in NYC!
Ain’t Done Bad is a theatrical dance performance conceived, directed, AND choreographed by the phenomenal Jakob Karr, who also dances the lead roll. WHAT is that even called, a quadruple threat? This man is already a complete legend.
As if the phenomenal dancing and the stunning lighting weren't enough, it's entirely backed by heartfelt music from various albums by country star Orville Peck. One track, Legends Never Die (my favorite incredibly fun scene that had me wanting to jump up and start dancing myself) even features Shania Twain!
“AIN’T DONE BAD is my love letter to anyone who has ever struggled with their identity, and it is a thank you note to everyone who helped me find my voice” says Karr.
This is for anyone who:
I would like to note, however, that viewer discretion is advised due to strobe lighting and some highly suggestive dancing during the main character’s period of sexual awakening. Think *that scene* in Center Stage, with men, a bit less clothes, and a lot more gyrating. And it was amazing.
Starring
The show premiered in 2021, winning the “Best Show’ highest honor at the Orlando International Fringe Festival and is running through September 1 on The Irene Diamond Stage at Pershing Square Signature Center (480 W. 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan). With only 294 seats, it’s a lovely and intimate theater. The show is 90 minutes long with 10 minute intermission. Access the Playbill here and... BUY TICKETS HERE!!
