Critics Say
The Great Gatsby

A visually dazzling spectacle with sumptuous costumes and sets, but critics find this Broadway adaptation prioritizes style over substance, offering lavish production values that can't compensate for a hollow emotional core.

Death Becomes Her

Critics largely embrace this campy musical adaptation as a hilarious crowd-pleaser that improves on the 1992 film, with standout performances from Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard and dazzling production values delivering pure escapist fun.
