DESCRIPTION:Sep 16-27\, 2026\nSinéad O’Connor was the flipside of Genera
 tion X. Her credo was not “whatever” but “do or die.” Even as a yo
 ung 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
  pop stardom\, she said. Likewise\, Sonya Tayeh might have taken the Broad
 way route in her treatment of the singer. After all\, when Tayeh won a Ton
 y in 2020 for Moulin Rouge! The Musical\, it came after years of serving B
 roadway (not to mention such good girls as Miley Cyrus). The 49-year-old d
 irector-choreographer might have made a jukebox musical\, a bio-dancical w
 ith an O’Connor imitator at the helm. Instead\, she built this Joyce The
 ater 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—most
 ly modern dancers\, aged 40 and older—are our stand-ins\, being both the
 mselves and absorbed by the singer whose solitary\, luminous voice moves t
 hrough them. As Tayeh notes\, “I wanted The Surge to be carried by women
  whose lives and experiences could not be separated from the work itself.
