“The cumulative effect is undeniably exciting. Mainstream audiences will likely feel they are seeing an event.”

“It just misses the transgressive thrill that has kept the material alive for generations.”

“As it stands, though, this Beaches is washed-up.”

“This is a show made by people who clearly love musicals, for audiences who do too.”

“Titanique doesn’t just survive the jump to Broadway.”

“Their collective vocal power is so striking, it may very well be the best heard on Broadway right now.”

“Those going to A Beautiful Noise want to be entertained and entertained they will be.”

“Richardson Jackson clearly knows how to direct actors and pulls magic out of her cast, creating a production worthy of August Wilson's legacy.”

“What Jackson has created with A Strange Loop is nothing short of astounding.”

“It's hard not to wish Haidle had used that time to adjust some of the play's ingredients.”

“Porter’s wit still shines through in his score.”

“Michael Urie establishes himself as a fearless and compelling leading man — delivering a master-class in physical comedy and dramatic authenticity”

“This kind of magic, after all, can’t be missed.”

“Each actress seems born to play her role.”

“The audience responded as if they were at a rock concert — making it one of the most exciting and satisfying experiences I've had in a Broadway theater in years.”

“Broadway's got a bright new star, and her name is 'Anastasia.' The 1997 beloved animated movie has been transformed into a magical new stage musical, now open at the Broadhurst Theatre, with a much-improved book by Terrence McNally, added songs from the film's composers Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, and a star-making performance by actress C...”

“This is a play about, among other things, the power of theater and the tragedy of art being forgotten in time.”

“Despite the best efforts of its cast and creative team, this once-exciting story comes across stale and banal.”

“It's a transfixing performance.”

“It's easily the most impassioned dinner scenes on Broadway since 'August: Osage County,' and one that playwright Akhtar crafts beautifully.”

“His time with the piece has clearly been well spent, and his keen eye for pacing and comedy makes the often dated material and setups feel fresh and bright.”

““Cabaret” is a seductive piece of theater, beautifully designed and with stellar performances throughout.”

“You’ll feel as though you’re witnessing a star being reborn, 18 years into her career.”

“Instead of an inspiring account of talent and tenacity, Lapine's “Act One” is a bland story that fails to put Hart’s life into perspective.”

“When Menzel sings, all problems with the book simply disappear. She's why you're there, and it's hard to imagine how the show would survive without her.”

“In fairy tales, we automatically believe the stakes are high - it just would have been nice to have that threat feel a little more dire. But then again, this is a musical comedy, and in that sense, 'Aladdin' is exactly what you wish for.”

“You're there to see Kroll and Mulaney's masterful take on the Faizon and St. Geegland — two incredibly nuanced and well-rounded characters who manage to be wildly offensive and incredibly loveable at the same time.”

“Those who saw the original 1997. Broadway production might see Condon's 'Side Show' as more of a reworking than a revival...Many of the changes work, especially new numbers like 'Ready to Play' and 'Stuck With You,' which present Violet and Daisy at their vaudeville-best...But there are problems...”

“It’s a question that hits hard, and one of the many tender moments in the 90-minute play that will rattle you to your core.”
