Review: How "Spektorology" Works: You Peer Inside Yourself

Spektorology Created by Marie Anello Presented by Marie Anello and Chevy Lace at The Kraine Theater 85 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC June 23, 2022 Marie Anello. Photo by Karina Parker Mura The title of Marie Anello's cabaret show Spektorology plays on the title of a single from musician Regina Spektor's new album (coincidentally released today) that is included late in the performance. Spektor's work is at once the object and a vehicle for the -ology of the title, and Anello assembles Spektor's idiosyncratic piano-centered indie tracks, tagged by some as art-punk, into a (self-)reflective musical journey. Spektorology is part of FRIGID New York's 8th Annual Queerly Festival, which runs from June 15 to July 3 and celebrates "all things" LGBTQIA+ while providing a variety of queer artists an unfettered space for self-representation. A livestreaming option is available for most of the festival shows; and both in-person and streaming tickets can be purchased at
