Reviews are in for Premieres NYC's New York premiere of Los Otros, a one-act musical with a book and lyrics by Tony nominee Ellen Fitzhugh (Grind, Paradise Found) and music by five-time Tony nominee Michael John LaChiusa (The Wild Party, Giant). The show began previews August 25 and officially opened August 31 at A.R.T./New York Theatres-Mezzanine Theatre where it has a limited run through October 8.

Luba Mason (Girl From the North Country) and Caesar Samayoa (Come From Away) star in the semi-autobiographical production as two Californians who, while exploring significant moments in their lives, discover they are linked in unexpected ways.
