Overview

• The Least Problematic Woman in the World, written by and starring Dylan Mulvaney and directed by Tim Jackson, opened October 7 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre with a run scheduled through October 19.
• Critics praise Mulvaney’s charismatic performance and crowd rapport, noting a buoyant, campy opening that gives way to more introspective material.
• The autobiographical piece traces her childhood, transition, TikTok fame, and the backlash to brand partnerships, depicting harassment that followed a beer promotion.
• Original songs were created with Abigail Barlow, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, Ingrid Michaelson, and Mark Sonnenblick, complementing playful yet pointed storytelling.
• Design elements singled out include Enver Chakartash’s costumes, Tom Rogers’s pink-splashed set lit by Cha See, and Caite Hevner’s video work, with some reviews noting a less clear middle section; coverage also notes Mulvaney has paused TikTok activity during the run.
