One thing’s for sure about the first show of the 2023-24 Broadway season: [*Grey House*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27836-grey-house-tickets) has curb appeal. Actress [Laurie Metcalf](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/laurie-metcalf) and director Joe Mantello each lend Tony Award-winning luster to the listing at the [Lyceum Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lyceum-theatre-ny). Moreover, haunted-house tales are rare commodities on stage, so that also counts as a clear credit.

From there, things turn murkier with Chicago-based playwright Levi Holloway’s story set in a remote cabin that moans, groans, and features the freakiest refrigerator since a demon moved into one in *Ghostbusters*. The unspoken come-on of *Grey House* is: Be afraid, be very afraid. Yes, please!

Although the 110-minute production oozes mystery and a ghostly vibe, it doesn’t deliver intense shivers. It’s too vague to stir psychological chills or, for that matter, good old-fashioned goosebumps. It’s as much a head-scratcher as it is a hair-raiser.

Your ultimate satisfaction level will be in proportion to your need for a mystery to be spelled out – and, frankly, it doesn’t have to be to work. Do we ever really know why the beaked beasts attacked in *The Birds*? Just saying.

In 1977, Max (Tatiana Maslany) and her husband Henry (Paul Sparks) seek refuge at a house in the woods after a car wreck leaves him with a broken ankle. It slowly emerges that no one really winds up at this address by accident. It’s by destiny. Suffice it to say the house is a magnet for men with pasts, women with maternal instincts, and lost girls.

“I’ve seen this movie,” Henry tells Max as he hobbles around the house where clutter rules and the phone cord is severed. “We don’t make it.” Is his quip black humor? Foreshadowing? Time tells all as Henry falls deeper under the spell of the strange girls in residence.

They’re an odd-lot pack. They look almost feral but sing and harmonize like mournful angels. They busy themselves adding long red strands to a weird-looking afghan or tapestry. What are they up to? Meat macrame? You won’t find this craft project on Etsy.

Icy Marlow (Sophia Anne Caruso) is the apparent queen bee, while Bernie (Millicent Simmonds), who’s Deaf, makes Henry’s nose bleed with a *Carrie*-like gesture. Squirrel (Colby Kipnes) creeps in and out of the sinister-looking basement, while A1656 (Alyssa Emily Marvin) — yes, that’s a name — recalls seeing her brother shot dead.

There’s also a periodically blindfolded boy (Eamon Patrick O’Connell) and a nightmarish Ancient (Cyndi Coyne) adding to the weirdness. Raleigh (Metcalf, in blustery *Roseanne* mode) watches over them all, describing her brood as “willful creatures” who are “always hungry.”

And exactly how are they satiated? That’s one burning question. Another is whether Max and Henry will ever get out of this place situated in a *Twilight Zone* — er, the mountains. 

That becomes more urgent as Marlow and company ply Henry with moonshine, also known as “the nectar of dead men,” from the fridge. It's stored in mason jars curiously labeled with names and dates — for instance, Douglas, 1971. Henry greedily guzzles the stuff and reveals disturbing truths about himself. The plot thickens.

Mantello has assembled a fine ensemble. His atmospheric production packs jump scares that do their job, plus a gross-out bit of DIY surgery. Scott Pask’s set screams creepy, Natasha Katz’s lighting casts dark shadows, and Tom Gibbons’s sound design doubles as a residential respiratory system that makes the house come alive. 

One wishes the series of scenes built to a deeper, more full-scale sense of dread. In terms of fright nights, *Grey House* is entertaining, albeit middle of the road.

'Grey House' review — Laurie Metcalf-led horror play falls short of fully chilling

Read our review of Levi Holloway's *Grey House* on Broadway, starring Laurie Metcalf and directed by Joe Mantello, now in performances at the Lyceum Theatre.

The Lyceum Theatre is one of Broadway's longest running, and most storied venues. It is the oldest continually operating theatre in New York City, delivering its rich tradition and history since opening its doors in 1903. Uniquely, it is one of the few theatres that was built and still operates as a legitimate theatre. The stunning Beaux-Arts style facade and grandiose interior, designed by architects Herts & Tallant, are part of what make a night at Lyceum truly unforgettable one. The theatre has been home to a vast array of productions, from plays to musicals, and has played a key role in shaping the Broadway landscape. Some of the notable performances include 'The Voice Of The Turtle', 'Othello', 'Born Yesterday', and more recently, the Tony award-winning 'The Play That Goes Wrong'. 

 ## How to Get to the Venue 
 The Lyceum Theatre is prominently situated at 149 W 45th Street, almost in the very heart of Manhattan. It is well-serviced by public transport with several subway stations nearby - Times Square-42nd St (N,Q,R,S,1,2,3,7), 42nd St-Bryant Park (B,D,F,M), and 47th-50th streets-Rockefeller Center (B,D,F,M). Taxis and ride-share services like Uber are also readily available. Given its central location, it is also easily reachable by foot if you're already downtown.
