Our Favorite Music in 2023

The Flaming Lips's 20th Anniversary Concert for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots at The Kings Theater in Brooklyn

Each year, Theater in Asylum releases a list of plays, books, movies, and more that delighted us, challenged us, and changed us. Below is our first list, a crowd-sourced list of music our community loved in 2023.

Also, Theater in Asylum’s fundraiser is live! If you’re able, please consider helping us reach our goal with a donation. Thank you so much!!
