how I learned to become a superhero
“how I learned to be a superhero” is the story of three regular people with no superpowers who, nevertheless, set out to be superheros, costumes and all. The show’s mix of comedy and tragedy (how else is one motivated to become a superhero) delivers a simple, touching story. Remember this is off broadway, so there are no flying spiders or hurtling goblins.
