Cross 'They're Playing Our Song' with 'Will & Grace' and stir in hip seriocomic undercurrents oozing with up-to-the-minute relevance. The result is Mark Saltzman's deliriously funny and surprisingly touching world-premiere play.

Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo
The brain jolts to a start at the top of this world premiere and doesn't cease whirring, even after the blood-streaked actors accept their well-deserved ovations. Rajiv Joseph has penned a monumental work.
