“For all its dramatic pleasures and gestures towards nuance, Giant winds up feeling like the latest example of a type of weaponized censorship that deems any criticism of governments as human-scale hate speech.”

“A terrific ensemble transforms Buena Vista Social Club into a dazzling feast for the eyes and ears.”

“The cast, led by Rogers and a thrilling Jordan Donica, is uniformly terrific, with special mentions for Adrienne Warren, Tonya Pinkins, Jelani Alladin and New York newcomer Maya Rowe.”

“Giulia lays out several promising ingredients which director Mary Zimmerman doesn’t properly batch into a satisfying elixir, failing mainly as a cohesive narrative about Tofana’s life.”

“Down to its last production and performance detail, it carries his indelible sense of soulful shadows.”

“David Adjmi’s Stereophonic, a phenomenal new play with gorgeous music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler premiering at Playwrights Horizons, doesn’t avoid these clichés so much as drown them out with far more interesting narratives.”

“The play is something of a miracle, both in the terrain it covers and the way it manages to do so without constricting itself to convention or condescension.”
