New World Stages

a lot more than once.

So the show I did in New World Stages, I auditioned for a role.

Ultimately, that wasn't the right role for me.

And I just had to wait until they were casting the right role.

And I'm so glad, like I said earlier, that audiences are getting to meet you in this role of William Barfay only through October 11th, you mentioned, right? Okay.

Well, everybody's got to get to New World Stages.

I mean, I feel like this has been such a moment.

This has been so much fun chatting with you guys, and I'm so happy to be involved in this production.

On our show today, we're joined by the actor David McElwee, who's here to talk to us about The Play That Goes Wrong.

It's currently playing at New World Stages, and if you'd like to get some more information, head on over to telecharge.com. Now, as I mentioned, this is the most riotous, hilarious play I think I've ever seen.

I cannot get enough of it, so I'm especially excited to get to share this work with you.

And I'm especially excited about the guest we have, so please join me in welcoming on our guest.

Well, how did you come upon this production?

Yeah, so I've, I'm one of the newer members of the cast, uh, because this show has been running I think for nine years in New York City now.

It started on Broadway, and then the production moved to New World Stages off Broadway.

And I've been with them for about three, four months.

I really appreciate the chat.

So The Play That Goes Wrong is currently playing at New World Stages in NYC, so get your tickets now and we'll see you there

That was on Broadway for 2017 for about three or four years.

And it's now still running off Broadway at New World Stages in New York.

Great production there.

Awesome team.

yeah

the lena horn is about to be open as well in january um I mean, the rumor is that this is moving to New World Stages, and it will run off-Broadway, but, like, who actually knows what's going to happen there? Well, like, Heather's is

closing, so there's an opening.

But also, is Heather's

I'll never see that show in my life.

But, like, that really...

I did go to New World Stages, and the floor was sticky.

I can confirm.

Um, so we do that.

And then that day I'm like literally in the bathroom and then Jersey boys was like, will you come back? Uh, everyone has COVID in the new world stages company.

I had never done the New York company.

I'd only done the tour.

land.

My arm is, like, sideways.

And they had to call the paramedics to New World Stages and cart me out on a stretcher as my arm is, like, twisted three ways.

Oh.

Expect this to maybe not even go too far.

There's talks of like, hey, New World Stages is having two spaces open up.

this is a a really like flexible show just based off the scope and it doesn't need to be in a large theater it can actually run in a pretty small space so i i would not be surprised if we saw an off-broadway run of six or maybe they add another national tour or something they're still touring six is not going anywhere it's running internationally

it's still a big thing and that space is really cool too if they decide to go through world stages like i like i It doesn't...

Mm

... was we did an industry presentation at New World Stages off Broadway here in New York City.

Oh, nice.

Um, and, you know, packed the house for, for an hour-long presentation there, um, which has led to some, some other really cool things that are, uh, now progressing, um, for the show, which I'm sure we will talk about.

Um-

Okay

... which was really, really special, and we got several opportunities kind of out of the New World stages, including if you wanna-

You want me to take it?
