Synopsis: On the eve of her wedding, Becky has arranged the perfect bachelorette celebration --but after two party crashers, one manipulative maid of honor, and a bathtub of booze, things don't go according to plan. This world premiere play is a brutally comic look at friendship and betrayal on the way to the altar.
Broadway Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Imbibe gently, if at all, before attending “Bachelorette,” the sensational new comedy by Leslye Headland set during a toxic party on the eve of a swanky Manhattan wedding. Bottles of bubbly are consumed with breathtaking dispatch by pretty young things in party dresses in this scarifying tale of mean-girl malice and generational malaise. Even confirmed teetotalers may emerge from the McGinn/Cazale Theater, where the play opened on Monday night, feeling the urge to slither into a cab and check into rehab."

NY POST REVIEW:
"Bachelor parties gone wild have gotten lots of stage and screen time. But if Leslye Headland's wickedly comic play is any indication, bachelorette parties are more fun.

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"Leslye Headland's writing has been compared to fellow playwright Neil LaBute, and it's easy to see why. Her play, Bachelorette, now being presented by Second Stage at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre, has a darkly comic and brutal view of interpersonal relationships that is similar to those found in many of LaBute's works. Most of the characters are not very likable, and yet their bad behavior is also strangely compelling -- particularly when brought to life by the show's strong ensemble cast. "

BACKSTAGE REVIEW:
"According to a New York Times profile, 29-year-old playwright Leslye Headland posts on Twitter under the moniker "Molotovcocktail." That seems appropriate, as her new bite-size comedy "Bachelorette," about three young women behaving very badly, prizes shock over substance and judgment over character. Though Second Stage Theatre Uptown has given it a first-class production, with astute direction from the talented Trip Cullman and sharp performances from a six-person cast, all the queen's horses can't disguise the depressing shallowness of the proceedings."

CURTAIN UP REVIEW:
"Think of the dark underbelly of Sex and the City and you will get a glimmer of what playwright Leslye Headland has created in her nearly tragic, extremely caustic, and totally depressing dramedy Bachelorette. There is even a reference made to that popular TV series. We can only presume to guess the role that drugs, alcohol, and sex (those things that ordinarily serve to enhance life for many,) plays on lives not anchored by maturity, self-worth, and a conscientious value-system. But, in dramatic terms, we are also disposed to be intrigued by the lifestyle of the reckless, young, beautiful singles who have chosen to immerse themselves in a whirl of extremely dangerous and disingenuous social behavior.
