All of these elements combine to create the best Broadway musical revival I have ever seen.

Significant Other

It's attractive, it has some wit and a decent personality, but there's just not enough substance for a full-fledged commitment of time or money.

Fully Committed

Still, it seems like a plate of hors d’oeuvres at a party: If the tray passes in front of you, you’ll probably eat one and enjoy it, but there’s no real reason to seek it out.

The Humans

When the curtain falls, you have no choice but to leave The Humans with a life altering worldview and for that, it is probably the best 90 minute therapy session money can buy.

Fool for Love

Manhattan Theater Club’s production is simmering and sultry thanks to this fine cast whose only addiction is a commitment to quality acting.

Ink
