In Noah Diaz’s You Will Get Sick, a young man is shocked to receive a life-changing diagnosis.

You will meet a young man holding onto a secret and the stranger he pays to listen. You will laugh, marvel, and transform from the relationship that grows between them, and from the stunningly human new play—a New York Times Critic’s Pick, (hooray!)—that “tells its tale in the most lively, surreal and surprising ways imaginable,” as the Times goes on to say. ‘It flies by, feeling even shorter yet fuller than its 85 minutes.”

Tony Award winner Linda Lavin and Billions star Daniel K. Isaac lead the cast of playwright Noah Diaz’s triumphant and joyous NYC debut, directed by Tony nominee Sam Pinkleton. Note: On Wednesday evenings, you will see the remarkable Becca Lish (Blacklist) in Ms. Lavin’s role.

You will think about it for days.

“Defies all expectations, telling the tale in the most lively, surreal and surprising ways imaginable. It flies by, feeling even shorter yet fuller than its 85 minutes. Linda Lavin’s wit is in full bloom. She has never seemed more vital, sly, and fearless.” Jesse Green, The New York Times – Critic's Pick

“Words like charming and whimsical and even downright funny aren’t ones you usually associate with a play about illness and death. In the case of Noah Diaz’s You Will Get Sick, you might also add the word more than a little bit fey.” Robert Hofler, The Wrap

“Daniel K. Isaac and Linda Lavin are such a charming pair.” Jackson McHenry, New York Magazine
