“Horror has met its match and its name is Broadway.”

“This year, it appears that one of those marvelous shows is The Balusters.”

“Becky Shaw is an engaging play which, unfortunately, is all but forgotten not long after one leaves the theater.”

“The tragically inevitable deterioration of the central characters’ lives is subtle, certain and nauseating—a feat of naturalistic horror.”

“Icke’s adaptation, Oedipus—now playing at Studio 54 on Broadway—grips the audience by the throat from the outset, slowly tightening its grip as the minutes tick by (literally, with an onstage countdown clock) leading to its devastating conclusion.”

“Ragtime does what every adaptation should: to re-package a compelling story in a visually and emotionally impactful way without losing too much along the way—and perhaps even adding to it.”

“Walking With Ghosts is a gift that shouldn’t be missed.”

“Beetlejuice is a Broadway crowd pleaser that does what it sets out to do: provide a visually pleasing reminder of an old favorite.”

“Those who are willing to focus on the rapid fire, complex dialog will be delighted by the delivery.”

“Top to bottom, it’s a delightful, incredibly satisfying production that leaves audiences grinning ear to ear.”

“Garcia and O’Malley’s storyline derives from (almost too literally at times) and blends nicely with the songs. However, their in-between banter is painfully corny…The formulaic storyline is merely incidental, a vehicle for delivering the show’s 27 songs. Mostly it works...”

“Here Lies Love is a history lesson wrapped in a tale of broken hearts and presented as engaging songs.”

“While Parker and Morse’s performances and Mark Brokaw’s direction are solid and well-executed, How I Learned to Drive nonetheless falls short of the great theater it may once have been.”

“Overall, it makes for a compelling and entertaining night out at the theater that may or may not teach you a thing or two.”

“'JOB' provides a novel, modern, and intriguing concept in a play”

“The Ferryman's three plus hours fly by because of so much to see, hear and devour leaving no down time for the audience.”

“Even so, The Music Man is only held together by a string of memorable and beloved songs for which we patiently wait.”
