“Mrs. Doubtfire is a winner that will delight audiences for a long time to come.”

“‘Lackawanna Blues’ is not to be missed. Funny, insightful, eye-opening, heartwarming, all the things!”

“It’s a muddle of a production because Sam Gold, the director, seems to have thrown every idea he’s ever had at it and then left the room.”

“It’s the most successful and smartest transfer of a big screen comedy into a stage musical I’ve seen.”

“It’s not a punishment, it’s a reward with great music, incredible voices, some wonderful performances, and a surprising love story.”

“Going to hell has never been as much fun as seeing a performance of Anaïs Mitchell's musical Hadestown.”

“King Kong has set a new bar on Broadway.”

“And Urie alone is worth the price of admission.”

“I think I like The Nap even better – it’s sophisticated, adult humor that doesn’t rely on pratfalls or banana peel physicality to get laughs.”

“The plot of Gettin’ the Band Back Together is sophomoric and unrealistic.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was very pleased to have seen it.”

“The score is gorgeous, the lyrics moving without being maudlin, and the interweaving of dialog, song and dance in service of explicating both plot and emotions is masterful.”

“I just can’t pretend that what’s actually happened, you know, real people getting murdered, didn’t happen and it’s all ok.”

“Allison Janney gives a mesmerizing performance as Ouisa.”

“And coming from me, that’s actually high praise.”

“The real star of the show, and the reason the seats are filled every night, is the 57 Motown songs the incredibly talented cast belt out.”
