Some sequels are content to simply redo the same movie. Others expand the narrative and introduce new characters. A few decide they want to destroy their own creation and purposely antagonise fans with a movie that bears little resemblance to its predecessor. Joker: Folie á Deux, Todd Phillips' sequel to his smash hit 2019 Joker origin story, does all three. It replays the events of the first film via a court trial. It progresses the story and introduces a love interest for its deranged protagonist. But aside from its sickly colour palette and a setting inspired by the grime of '70s New York, it bears little resemblance to 2019's Joker, chiefly because it's a musical.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
