This 90-minute theatrical show, a revival of Lee Breuer's and Bob Telson's adaptation of the myth of Oedipus, has been lavished with praise.
The New York Times called it "musically galvanic and ecstatic" with inspired casting, a "gorgeous choir in full voice and an on-point orchestra complete with an organ and a horn section."
Kayak rentals start at $12 from Pier 84 Boathouse, Hudson River Park at West 44th Street, with reservations recommended.
"Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight" is actor-turned-filmmaker Embeth Davidtz's directorial and screenwriting debut, an adaptation of Alexandra Fuller's memoir.
