With a rapturous review from the NY Times's Ben Brantley, the Lincoln Center Festival's Summer Festival: A Mirror of Osaka, might be what New Yorkers are running to this summer. The play runs through this Sunday, and if you can't go, perhaps a visit to Lincoln Center is in order, as they have recreated a shibaigoya, or a Kabuki theater, in Damrosch Park. The Newsday review notes that it has paper lanterns, a raised walkway, and bench seating - all air-conditioned.
Brantley calls A Mirror of Osaka "rock 'em, sock 'em theater that keeps the adrenaline pumping." Plus, it's just awesome to see the painted faces. And more about what kabuki is and a book about kabuki. Check out some sushi via Sushi NYC and NYC Sushi Finder. And Gothamist visited the Lincoln Center Festival last year with a trip on the Angel Project.

I can, and will, wait until Stephen Sondheim's PACIFIC OVERTURES comes to the Roundabout in the Fall to get my kabuki fix.
I went on Sunday and it was fantastic, really AMAZING and FUN! Colorful, vibrant, distinctly Japanese, something you can't find everyday in NYC. Highly recommended, go if you can score an elusive ticket!
Darn, looks like it's sold out through its last performance Sunday. Oh well.
