“Lots of clever misdirection keeps audience tuned in as we figure out who is actually loved and lost.”

“The leads, Bertie Carvel (Murdock) and Jonny Lee Miller (editor Larry Lamb) are, in a word, perfect.”

“Cranston’s Howard Beale is such a sustained wonder of a performance that he crowds out the rest of the cast.”

“Just go to The Prom. So much fun!”

“Head Over Heels lacks the courage of its contradictions.”

“Mean Girls turns out to be one of those feel-good nights on Broadway when you unabashedly jump to your feet applauding because you've had such a good time.”

“It’s neither funny nor significant.”

“This thoroughly enjoyable new musical is the Seinfeld-of-musicals, in that nothing much happens — but it gently embraces all that is elemental about living life.”

“The direction is lively, the effects powerful, and, while set in the ‘80s, the moral desert of the money cult and the latter-day ‘kings’ in towers hold a very current punch.”

“Big musicals must take you over and Groundhog Day does that.”

“I’m glad I saw Falsettos in its current iteration and find it a period piece with enormous vitality.”

“That said, each of these actors very much belongs on a Broadway stage.”

“Carroll brings some unintended drama to the fore when asked to dance.”

“Onstage, a more modestly designed Bryan Cranston, at maybe 5’10″ and maybe 170 pounds, completely inhabits the bigness of LBJ.”

“Having won all the awards the theater and the wide world offer a playwright, including the Pulitzer for Doubt: A Parable, Shanley’s gift for lightly sprinkling import on ordinary situations is intact.”

“Somehow Grisham’s page-turner, which flourished as a film, falls rather flat as a play despite the noisy effects, in Rupert Holmes adaptation staged at the Golden Theater on 45th…not bad, just drawn that way.”
