The Crossword Show returns to Symphony Space for a performance of "Puzzle #3: Cross Country." Host Zach Sherwin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Epic Rap Battles of History) presides as guest panelists Nore Davis and Liz Glazer solve a crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a screen so the audience can follow along. As the guest solvers decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay and trivia, all inspired by the answer words, and everything ties together at the end for a grand finale that’s as satisfying as it is mind-blowing. You don’t need any crossword expertise to be dazzled by this joyful, nerdy, one-of-a-kind experience!
