“Ink is a great story: lively, inventive and chilling.”

“As someone decades removed from high school, I found the humor broad, the POV adolescent and the music too loud.”

“As an admirer but not a devotee of Cher and her recordings, I generally enjoyed the party, even if some scenes seem inconsequential.”

“Whatever the flaws, the highly theatrical Ferryman is eminently watchable.”

“Those intrigued by this passionately performed niche entertainment shouldn’t dawdle.”

“Deborah Cox is a lovely, nuanced singer.”

“The redoubtable Brian d'Arcy James, Kate Baldwin and John Dossett lead a cast of 22 singing sumptuous melodies by Michael John LaChiusa. They're backed by a 17-piece orchestra, a rare luxury for off-Broadway.”

“It’s inordinately fun to vote in a low-stakes election for a change.”

“Tasteful to a fault, the play is unlikely to offend anyone, particularly the Association or Johnson, both involved in producing.”

“While its premise may particularly appeal to men of a certain age who fancy women half their age, the laughter was co-ed.”

“Leavel elevates the enterprise with pitch-perfect singing, acting and bouffant, her Florence blowzy and vulnerable.”

“Gooding's songs with Cipriano -- "Ironic," "Head Over Feet" and "That I Would be Good," are sweetly evocative of teenage life and love and come closest to fulfilling the promise of this appealing mess of a musical.”

“The New One works out -- ingeniously.”

“And yet, this West Side Story is more dynamic than moving.”
