“This two-and-a-half-hour respite from the world is what we all need right now.”

“Every actor, including Meighan Gerachis (as Vickie) in a very small role as a hospice nurse, was dynamite, filling out the distorted humanity of each of their characters.”

“A lot is covered here and it all doesn’t get fleshed out, but that’s okay.”

“A very good Broadway drama that will leave you more than satisfied with having spent time at the Seaview.”

“Water for Elephants grabs that magic and makes it fly.”

“The breeze that comes in doesn’t amount to much and it kind of becomes a, “My turn now,” kind of storytelling that emanates from outside the characters as written and is not organic.”

“This is Jason Alexander‘s Broadway directorial debut and he shines in bringing all the varied pieces together to present a playdate of delight for everyone.”

“It’s a safe fun evening, as you’ll know what you’re going to get, with just a little more razzle-dazzles thrown in.”

“It was a delight to experience the result of all of their work.”

“But like eating hot and spicy food, after a while the spice in my mouth dulls and the initial zing fades.”

“Go see Shucked, you’ll laugh, a lot, at the wonderful wit, you’ll join in the jubilation as the whole audience elatedly exclaims together as the corn visibly comes back to life, and you’ll maybe even shed a tear.”

“That new light centers around the well-grounded Stephen McKinley Henderson (as Pops) who helms an ensemble of lying (to themselves and each other) misfits that still can charm an audience years later with their depiction of flawed humanity in all its glory.”

“We congregate to hear our stories, to see and feel what it’s like to be alive, and to experience a deep human connection in both the heart and mind, something that we have all been lacking in a shared group setting as of late.”

“"As in all of [McDonagh's] plays, guilt and innocence are front and center as a theme and the miscarriage of justice, the ending of the death penalty, the uses and abuses of vengeance, and the psychological impact of violence on its perpetrators are the basis for the play.”

“I believe that that will be your takeaway from when you go to see it and I urge you that you should as it is a wonderful piece of theater.”
