Alysha Umphress

Jake Wilson

Public Theater

Finally! After a lot of excuses and protestations, Broadway baby Alysha Umphress will bring a solo show to the NYC public for the first time since 2008. What the hell? Why has it taken this long? A question she asks herself daily. But hopefully it will have been worth the wait. What to expect? Who can say? Isn’t it best to have no expectations one way or the other and just get on board?

Alysha Umphress and things… like this promises to be filled with whimsy, humor, at least one costume change (possibly two), signature vocabulary, a special guest (possibly two), a gorgine band, video components, sickening arrangements and belting, almost exclusively. Won’t you come.?
