The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

0 upcoming performances in New York

Set in Manhattan’s postwar comedy clubs and apartment kitchens, *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel* follows Miriam “Midge” Maisel as she moves from Upper West Side domesticity into stand-up after her marriage collapses. The series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, uses late-1950s and early-1960s New York as both setting and subject, tracking who gets to take the mic and be heard. Since its 2017 debut, it has helped fix the city’s midcentury nightlife in the public imagination with unusual specificity. At 92NY, cast and creators discuss how that version of New York was built and why it endures.
