Love, Loss, and What I Wore

This celebrated play is proof that a great show is always in fashion. Based on the best-seller by Ilene Beckerman, the show uses clothing and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories, creating an enduring and memorable experience. As Charles Isherwood describes it in his New York Times review, “…the show is a scrapbook of stories about unfortunate prom dresses, the traumatic lighting in fitting rooms, high heels, short skirts and the existential state of having nothing to wear. Accessorizing these tales – which are mostly comic but often sad or sentimental too – are the mothers who disapprove, the men who disappear, [and] the sisters who’ve got your back.”
