My first season of all new work at Little Island opens tonight. So proud of my team and all the artists making extraordinary things. I’m so lucky to work with every one of you.
Last performance of ‘Only an Octave Apart’… for now! This has been such a gift and incredible experience. I’m unspeakably grateful to the many brilliant and inspiring people who poured themselves into this potent project. With huge love to you all: partners in crime and creation, superstars @arcostanzo and @mxviv ; worshipful lighting by @nytelyte ; striptease sets by Carlos Soto; music direction by the astonishingly Richteresque @tingalayo ; arrangements by @nicomuhly ; costumes by the remarkable @jonathan.anderson ; sound by the legendary David Schnirman and a huge huge thanks to @susan_feldman & @ewwallin and the extraordinary team @stannswarehouse . It has been an enormous privilege to reopen such a legendary and important space for theater with all of you. And major shoutout to the singularly brilliant @vnina for the insanely gorgeous photos.
Thrilled and honored to be working on this with two of my favorite geniuses! *Repost from @mxviv

How to Get High
World renowned countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo ("Vocally brilliant and dramatically fearless" -The New York Times) joins cabaret legend Justin Vivian Bond ("The greatest cabaret artist of their generation" -The New Yorker) behind the velvet curtains to trade show biz survival strategies and tips in this workshop of their nascent collaboration How to Get High.
Inspired by a line from ARC’s singing teacher who wisely said, “It’s not how high you get, it’s how you get high.” These two literalists dig into their musical catalogues and styles in an effort to get as high as they possibly can and take their audiences with them. Uptown meets downtown, high meets low, as these two virtuosos breathalyze and facetune their way to the top.
Musical direction by David Sytkowski.
‘Split Step’ with @ladanceproject@luma_arles . A new piece by me and @ohemilymast in collaboration with these brilliant, beautiful dancers. Goodbye Arles!
