Word of Mouth: Did In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play Get Our Panel All Worked Up?

We hate to milk the pun, but there’s no denying there’s been a lot of buzz about Broadway’s In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play . The play marks playwright Sarah Ruhl’s Broadway debut and is built around one very electrifying piece of equipment (and features a talked-about scene of full frontal male nudity). But while the show, which is a comedy of manners and not the salacious sex drama the title might suggest, has all the trimmings of a downtown theater hit, what will mainstream Broadway audiences (who haven’t seen this combination of relationship commentary and skin since last season’s Equus revival) think? Watch the video to find out which of our real-life theatergoers were titillated by this provoking new play—and which were left cold.
