“Like the legendary music catalog from Motown, the revival that re-opened Thursday night at the Nederlander Theatre is alternately catchy and soulful, and overstuffed with memorable melodies.”

“The creative team has adroitly expanded the special effects and choreography to fill the Nederlander stage on Broadway, where ‘Disaster!’ opened Tuesday night.”

“The muscular production that opened Thursday night at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre is a stunning, imaginative theatrical experience, an impassioned interpretation that really brings the heat to Miller's gripping drama.”

“By then we’ve been on quite a journey with these characters, and the hymn resonates with relevance and hope, both for their personal stories and the still-uneasy state of racial relations today.”

“Twenty-six years after this play was written, Heidi's idealistic quest for fulfillment remains relevant, as does Wasserstein's incisive reminder of how hard it is to really change the world.”

“All the elements of this ‘Century’ combine to make a musical, manic train ride that truly puts the ‘loco’ in locomotion.”

“Aside from that grisly initial image, the New York production of the multiple Olivier Award-winner that opened Sunday night at the Barrymore Theatre evolves into a charming, intricately choreographed and dynamic theatrical experience.”

“As embodied by these two high-caliber performances, Coble creates a thoughtful, potentially enriching gift to the audience.”

“A new concert musical on Broadway provides a rockin' good time while imaginatively evoking her impassioned, thrilling talent.”

“That's the entertaining idea behind the sassy new musical comedy, ‘First Date.’”

“The despair of being bullied is one theme of Nick Payne's clever, edgy domestic drama, ‘If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet,’ about a British family that knows it's falling apart but can't seem to take action to stop it. Kudos to Beowulf Boritt for set design, and to the whole production crew for creating major watery magic.”

“‘Fela!’ is a unique Broadway experience that leaves the audience on their feet and wanting more.”

“The hilarious satire on Edwardian melodrama, featuring the incomparable and seemingly tireless Jefferson Mays in eight roles.”

“The exuberant new musical is helmed with panache by top director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.”

“Finn brilliantly uses musical comedy to explore what constitutes a family, while humanizing the extensive tragedy of the AIDS epidemic.”

“Smartly directed by Daniel Sullivan, the often-caustic production provides a humane, realistic and absorbing examination of ordinary people's behavior when their world is threatened.”

“An excellent cast transcends the sometimes predictable material.”

“Chenoweth glamorously milks each comical cliche while her opera-trained voice trills and soars in song after song.”

“The reimagined ‘Side Show’ that opened Monday night at the St. James Theatre is a stunning, soaring, must-see musical.”

“Grandage's lively production, both raucous and tender, opened Sunday night at the Cort Theatre.”

“O'Hara is perfectly suited to her role as a prideful Englishwoman, and sings rapturously throughout the show, especially on her poignant renditions of ‘Hello, Young Lovers.’”
