What do women really do when they go to the bathroom? The answer is far more than just using the toilet. Stalled: A New Musical, now playing at the King's Head Theatre, explores the women's bathroom as a multifaceted safe space. Written by Liesl Wilke, the show weaves together the stories of several women who intersect in a club bathroom over the course of a single night.
It's a deceptively simple premise that yields surprising depth. The songs are strong, the performances uniformly excellent, and the King's Head's intimate staging gives the material an immediacy and warmth that serves it perfectly.
