Hailed by The New York Times as "gripping, immensely haunting and exquisitely attuned," this insightful, intriguing work is about the forces that bring people together, the complexity of caring and being cared for, and the ways we all need each other in this world. Directed by Obie Award winner Jo Bonney, this production reunites acclaimed original stars Gregg Mozgala and Katy Sullivan.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Cost of Living

10 / 10

In alternating scenes, the play focuses on the tenuous relationships between John and Jess, between Ani and Eddie, and, in the end, between the two caregivers who carry their own deep wounds and ache of loneliness. The play's overall theme of dependence, interdependence, and codependence is a gripping one, and all four cast members and the director manage to make a virtue of avoiding full disclosure. What you see as an outsider is what you get, and what you get with Katy Sullivan's performance, in particular, will haunt you long after the final bows. There but for fortune, the 'shit' that happens to them could happen to any of us.

COST OF LIVING: WORTH THE STEEP EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT
8 / 10

After that, we'll follow these beautiful, messy characters just about anywhere...even to a slightly unbelievable head-scratcher of a final scene. But Eddie said it best: 'The shit that happens is not to be understood.' I suspect that is what we will remember of Cost of Living 20 years from now. 'The shit that happens to you is Not To Be Understood.'

Interview: Katy Sullivan Makes Her Broadway Debut with Pulitzer Prize Winner COST OF LIVING at Manhattan Theatre Club
by Christian Gill - September 25, 2022


We need more writers telling stories from this authentic point of view where disability is not a manipulative plot point, or where we feel sorry for a character or something like that. We need more people writing stories where people with disabilities are individuals that live their life this way or are just going about their lives and then something happens.
