In this episode, we dive into the Broadway production of JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN at the Booth Theatre. We break down how Kimberly Belflower’s play reimagines The Crucible for a new generation, exploring themes of youth, identity, and power. We talk about standout performances—especially Sadie Sink’s—plus the direction by Danya Taymor and how the show’s music and staging set it apart. We also debate the play’s take on gender dynamics and why it’s connecting with high school audiences. Join us for our review, character analysis, and thoughts on whether this show is a contender for the Tony Awards.
