DESCRIPTION:Nov 7\, 2026\nSinéad O’Connor was the flipside of Generation
  X. Her credo was not “whatever\,” but “Do or die.” Even as a youn
 g woman\, she was fine with her meteoric career crashing after she tore up
  a photo of the Pope on late-night TV\, because only good girls achieved p
 op stardom\, she said. Likewise\, Sonya Tayeh might have taken the Broadwa
 y route in her treatment of the singer. After all\, when Tayeh won a Tony 
 in 2020 for Moulin Rouge! The Musical\, it came after years of serving Bro
 adway (not to mention such good girls as Miley Cyrus). The 49-year-old dir
 ector-choreographer might have made a jukebox musical\, a bio-dancical wit
 h an O’Connor imitator at the helm. Instead\, she built this Joyce Theat
 er co-production (which won rave reviews at its world premiere\, in the U.
 K.) around us\, her devotees and witnesses. The cast’s 10 women—mostly
  modern dancers\, aged 40 and older—are our stand-ins\, being both thems
 elves and absorbed by the singer whose solitary\, luminous voice moves thr
 ough them. As Tayeh notes\, “I wanted The Surge to be carried by women w
 hose lives and experiences could not be separated from the work itself.”
