Rachel Bloom Solo Show Death, Let Me Do My Show Sets Netflix Premiere Date

The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend writer and star previously performed the show Off-Broadway in two separate runs.

Rachel Bloom’s solo show, Death, Let Me Do My Show, which she previously performed in two Off-Broadway runs, is coming to Netflix next month.

Per an earlier report in Variety,
the show was filmed at Williamstown Theater Festival July 12-13. The acclaimed work will premiere on the streamer October 15.

Bloom, best known as the writer and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,
performed the show Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in
September 2023 and in an encore run at the Orpheum later the same year.
The work has also played sold-out runs in London, Chicago, Boston, and
more.

According to ironic press notes from the Off-Broadway run, the one-woman musical comedy is “NOT about the ever-present spectre of death …
[and] will in NO way explore the pandemic and all the tumultuous events
that ensued in her personal life.”

According to Playbill’s interview
with Bloom, the show is about death and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic
shutdown. “I hope they think about the role death plays in their own
lives,” Bloom says of what she hopes audiences take away from the show.
“I hope that it makes them realize we shouldn’t push down what happened
in 2020. We shouldn’t forget.”

Directed by Seth Barrish (The Old Man & The Pool), the production featured scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, lighting design by
Aaron Copp, projection design by Hana S. Kim, music direction by Jerome
Kurtenbach, and costume design by Kristin Isola. Mike Lavoie and Carlee
Briglia produced the Off-Broadway runs.
