DEVISED BY HAPPENSTANCE THEATER
PREVIEWS SET FOR FEBRUARY 9, 2022

LIMITED RUN THROUGH MARCH 6, 2022
Devised by Happenstance Theater, BAROCOCO is set to perform in Theater B, where the show will begin previews February 9 and open February 13 for a run through March 6, 2022.

Happenstance Theater invites you to experience the charade — from parlor games to pantomime, from the exquisite to the revolting — in this delightful comedy of manners.

He has also helmed the stoves for well-known restaurateurs such as André Balazs at The Sunset Beach Resort and Keith McNally at Balthazar and Pastis.
Highlights include piping hot French Onion Soup and vegan Winter Stew, hearty Steak au Poivre, and signature McKittrick Burger made with DeBragga steak, homemade pickles, bacon marmalade, and fries. Classic pub fare like Scotch Eggs, Duck Shepherd’s Pie, and Fish & Chips, are inspired by the limited engagement of The Woman in Black playing downstairs.
Oysters, lightly fried Calamari, and Shaved Brussels Sprouts provide plenty of sharable options. Pizzas are also available on Friday and Saturday nights. Desserts feature a rich Chocolate Mousse and irresistible Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Guests can choose from a selection of hot drinks and handcrafted cocktails, like the Bruja Quemada (hot chocolate spiked with rum and coffee liqueur), or house signature Sleep No More (pea flower-infused vodka, elderflower, citrus, and rosé cider).
