“A far cry from your typical Broadway brand extension, and in many ways...an improvement over the quality of the films.”

“Dull, disjointed, and pretty darned dreary...Lost quite a bit of its magic in the translation.”

“With its unapologetic humor, complex characters, and nuanced exploration of identity, this masterpiece still resonates profoundly today.”

“So, I promise you, if you want to see this Hello Dolly!, you’ll still be seeing a thrilling, first-rate production, even if you’re not seeing it with Bette Midler.”

“The production is worth the trip for Ashford's antics alone.”

“Instead, it's pleasant but forgettable.”

“Two of the main reasons to see the current production of 'Carousel,'”

“The revival cast is nearly flawless, each member showing more nuance and complexity even than in their most recent stage roles.”

“The result is a messy, uneven production that fails to engage on any level.”

“This 'Holiday Inn' is an admittedly slight but charming diversion that's old-fashioned in feel, but full of modern storytelling and staging know-how.”

“With stagnant pacing and a lack of innovation, this revival leaves much to be desired.”

“Unfortunately, the show relied too heavily on nostalgia, sacrificing originality for a shallow imitation of the original.”

“Other than the chance to see Ms. Mirren onstage or to witness some conjectural conversations between Queen Elizabeth II and her numerous prime ministers over her long reign, there's really not a lot of reason to see The Audience.”

“Linney's Regina was a true matriarch, dominating the stage with her presence and manipulating those around her with ease.”

“These two powerhouse performers deliver dazzling vocals, emotional depth, and palpable energy.”
