Adding Machine
Description
Joshua Schmidt and Jason Loewith’s witty, high-reaching work—the best new musical of 2008—is based on Elmer Rice’s 1923 classic about the soul rot of conventionality. Its antihero, Mr. Zero (the compelling Joel Hatch), is a willing cog in the social machinery that is grinding him to paste; Cyrilla Baer plays his shrill wife, and Amy Warren is his lovelorn assistant. Schmidt and Loewith’s score is superbly varied, and David Cromer’s stylish production is full of indelible moments. The show alchemizes mediocrity into excellence.—Adam Feldman
