SORT:
The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys is a wildly entertaining night at the theater: funny, frightening, heartfelt, and irresistibly cool.

The Dinosaurs

Simply put, it’s a quiet storm that will sustain the viewer’s attention for its entire 75-minute duration.

Call Me Izzy
52

While the play “Call Me Izzy” is thin and meek, Jean Smart is thoroughly entertaining as the title character, and does the best given the material that she has.

John Proctor is the Villain

There is a rawness and authenticity to this show like no other, and it will certainly spark conversations with viewers, and it will stick with them, long after it is over.

The actors do the best with the scripted materials that they have, which may leave the audience confused or perplexed at times.

The Roommate

Both LuPone and Farrow are still at the top of their game, and that they get better with age and experience.

“Job” is a riveting psychological thriller that sustains the viewer’s attention for its entire 80-minute duration.

Mother Play
92

Lange steals every scene she is in, and she makes everyone better around her, proving that she is a giving actress.

Mary Jane

Overall, Rachel McAdams is able to paint a poignant picture of motherhood in “Mary Jane” in a performance that runs the gamut.

Uncle Vanya
90

Overall, this revival of “Uncle Vanya” on Broadway is compelling, dark, smooth, and engaging.

Hell's Kitchen

Overall, “Hell’s Kitchen” is an entertaining and fun new original Broadway musical that is a fitting homage to the music of Alicia Keys.

Overall, Michael Stuhlbarg is Tony-worthy as Boris Berezovsky as he captures his conscience in a truly cerebral performance that is equal in excellence to Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.”

The Outsiders

The cast and crew are able to make something special that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Water for Elephants

Regardless, it is quite a spectacle and still worth more than just a passing glance, especially since it is feel-good escapism.
