Theatre tickets make an ideal gift, especially right now. You don't have to wait in long lines to get them, and you can always find a ticket for a different day or show if one is sold out, unlike a popular toy or the newest tech gadget. Plus, most theatres provide e-tickets now or you can pick them up at the box office. Either way, you don't have to worry about the tickets getting lost in the mail or not arriving in time for Christmas. And you don't have to spend time and money on wrapping paper...

*The Coast Starlight* play takes place during a thousand-mile train ride along the West Coast. Among the passengers is a man harboring a major secret — if it gets out, he's in trouble. He has until the end of the trip to figure out how to deal with it with the help of his fellow riders, all of whom have their own choices to wrestle with, too.

Fittingly for a show that takes place on the West Coast, *The Coast Starlight* at California's La Jolla Playhouse in 2019. *The Coast Starlight* in New York features three cast members from the original production: Mia Barron, Camila Canó-Flaviá, and Rhys Coiro.

Original director Tyne Rafaeli also returns for *The Coast Starlight* off Broadway. She previously directed Brian Watkins's *Epiphany* and Sylvia Khoury's *Power Strip* at LCT, as well as the 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist *Selling Kabul*, also by Khoury, at Playwrights Horizons.

Keith Bunin returns off Broadway with his latest play, *The Coast Starlight*, at Lincoln Center Theater. Get *The Coast Starlight* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

*The Coast Starlight* play is set aboard the train of the title, which runs between Los Angeles and Seattle. One passenger on that 35-hour, thousand-mile trip is holding a secret that could bring him trouble, and his fellow passengers — all with baggage and struggles of their own to contend with — help him figure out what to do before they reach their destination.

*The Coast Starlight* marks Bunin's return to Off-Broadway for the first time in 16 years. He had four previous plays off Broadway in the early 2000s, three of which premiered with Playwrights Horizons: *The Credeaux Canvas*, *The Busy World is Hushed*, and *The World Over*. The fourth and most recent, 2007's *10 Million Miles*, went up with Atlantic Theater Company.

Director Tyne Rafaeli worked at Lincoln Center Theater in 2022, directing Brian Watkins's *Epiphany*, and in 2019, directing Sylvia Khoury's *Power Strip*. In between, she directed another Khoury play, *Selling Kabul*, at Playwrights Horizons in 2021, which went on to become a 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Rafaeli received a Drama League nomination for her work on that show.

The cast of *The Coast Starlight* in New York features three actors making their Lincoln Center Theater debuts (Camila Canó-Flaviá, Will Harrison, Michelle Wilson) and one making their New York theatre debut (Harrison).

The Coast Starlight Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

Thirty-five hours. One ride along the West Coast. And one major decision. A passenger traveling on the title train line is dealing with a life-altering secret, and his fellow passengers help him decide what he must do. Find out more about tickets to this new play about the impact of even fleeting connections with others, and reinventing oneself when life veers off track.

The passenger next to you on a long train ride could be the bane of your existence — or they could be your soulmate. When that trip is 36 hours long, it’s impossible not to imagine both. Such is the conceit of Keith Bunin’s [*The Coast Starlight*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27332-the-coast-starlight-tickets), now playing at [Lincoln Center Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lincoln-center-mitzi-e-newhouse-theater).

The play begins with Jane (Camila Canó-Flaviá) and T.J. (Will Harrison) confessing, or rehearsing, what they would have told each other on the title train if either had gathered the courage to speak. Though they don't know it, they were both taken with each other almost instantly, as if drawn together by some external force of fate (or narrative convenience).

Jane is a cartoonist en route to Seattle to visit, and probably break up with, her long-distance boyfriend. T.J., a Navy combat medic, was set to ship out from San Diego to Afghanistan the next morning but instead bought a train ticket with a stolen credit card. Noah (Rhys Coiro), a world-weary veteran, interrupts the would-be lovers with his own reverie of what he might have said to the shaken T.J.

T.J.’s conflict could be engaging should the play’s proverbial train ever leave the station, and Coiro lends a hard-edged sense of humor to Noah that endears him to the audience. However, *The Coast Starlight* chugs along at a snail’s pace. Actors shout monotonous recollections and delight in their half-hearted observations on the human condition along the entire Pacific Coast, leaving little unexpressed and more to be desired.

Fortunately, Liz (Mia Barron) soon bursts onto the train, reeling from a breakup at a wellness retreat that may have almost been the scene of her murder. She screeches the story of her failed relationship into her phone as the other passengers worry she doesn’t realize they're there. Barron knows how to work the audience for laughs in between moments of tension, and her performance delights and entertains the rest of the journey. 

*The Coast Starlight*’s thesis — that strangers on a train could change each other’s lives, and that you never really know what someone else is going through — wants to be profound, but it lands somewhere a bit juvenile. Life lessons such as these feel obvious, and the characters’s exchanges on empathy don't feel like natural dialogue.

It doesn’t help that Jane has one of the biggest parts but the lowest stakes of the passengers. Her love life feels out of place with discussions of Noah’s transience or Anna (Michelle Wilson, whose performance exudes love) identifying her deceased brother’s body.

Lighting by Lap Chi Chu expertly evokes sunlight peeking through window slats, but other scenic elements do nothing to accelerate or enhance the story; the turntable stage spins so often and so much at a time as to render its potential meaning null. Director Tyne Rafaeli can pull much more resonant stage images from a text, but here, her touch feels missing.

The play works best when it relies less on the literal thoughts of the passengers and leans into the purgatorial nature of the train: T.J. is trapped in a space that can only function as liminal, set to leave a career meant to be temporary as well. When his life plays out before his eyes, when his future contains all the possibilities and disappointments a train ride can hold — that is when the play soars. It too is brief a moment, stuck between stations.

The Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater is a 299-seat venue which houses the nonprofit Lincoln Center Theater’s Off-Broadway productions. The theatre opened on November 10, 1967 and is located on the lower level of the building. At first, the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center operated the theatre as The Forum.

The current name was adopted in 1973 in honor of prominent New York philanthropist Mitzi E. Newhouse. Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival took control of the building until 1978. In the following years, the theatre was mostly rented out to external producers until LCT began operating there in 1985.

The Newhouse shares a building with the [Vivian Beaumont Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/vivian-beaumont-theater) on Broadway and the [Claire Tow Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lincoln-center-claire-tow-theater) off Broadway.
