“It’s consistently funny, and it ranks among the season’s best new musicals.”

“Ink is a masterpiece because as well as being meticulously written by Mr. Graham and tightly directed by Rupert Goold, it is an eerily prophetic tale of how Rupert Murdoch saw the potential for selling populism to the masses decades ago.”

“After the final curtain falls, All My Sons gets audiences thinking about the long-term impact of war on families, making it an unforgettable, important evening of theater.”

“Other than being a star vehicle for Nathan Lane, why is Gary even on Broadway?”

“Mr. Butterworth’s saga is a multi-layered, searing reminder of centuries-old animosities, exquisitely directed and produced.”

“Pretty Woman was a mega-hit Hollywood movie starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and has now been turned into a colorful, entertaining but otherwise middling rom-com musical that will thrill fans of the film.”

“The show grows on you if you simply go along with it and accept it for nothing other than the mindless, splashy entertainment it is.”

“This is a classic saga of parents and children and the things in life threatening to tear them apart.”

“If one can get past the convoluted and confusing narrative, Travesties has a lot going for it, including exquisite performances from a gifted ensemble, clever sets and costumes by Tim Hatley and Mr. Stoppard's witty, crisp, erudite dialogue.”

“Regardless, there is still much to admire in this ambitious yet unevenly paced production.”

“Finally, the cast is superb and many of the performances are among the best in the past decade.”

“However, as colorful, festive and good-intentioned as this show is, it’s likely something only Parrotheads (as Buffett’s fans are known) will appreciate.”

“At nearly two hours long without an intermission, the show, with many unnecessary scenes, can be a slog to sit through.”

“This Island is a colorful, immersive experience for everyone, giving audiences a helluva joyful ride, making it one of the season’s freshest surprises.”

“Although the show has many funny lines, ultimately Six Degrees should be presented as a tragedy, and Mr. Cullman just misses the mark in all the wrong places.”

“This “doctored” musical-comedy interpretation of Charlie is the weakest by far of all the adaptations.”

“The Little Foxes, directed by Daniel Sullivan, is one of the year’s best revivals.”

“"Complex, fascinating, and sometimes confusing drama...It’s exhausting yet riveting to watch from the opening scene...Despite the heavy subject matter, 'Indecent' is a visually arresting piece of theater...There is a frenetic lyricism to Rebecca Taichman’s direction of the actors...It is Ms.”

“Away is unlike anything we’ve seen on Broadway, a musical that celebrates and glorifies humanity, understanding and the reasons to embrace the differences of people we don’t know, while showing how no one is really that different—without coming off hokey or contrived.”

“This outstanding production never feels dated.”

““One wonders if Mr. Nunn’s revival might have been more powerful had he put a modern, fresh spin on the show...However, gimmicky revivals almost never work so Mr. Nunn was wise not to tamper too much with Mr. Lloyd Webber’s winning formula.”

“You’ve not truly seen Jessica Lange perform until you catch Roundabout’s revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night— for this is probably her best performance in years, if not ever.”

“This revival won’t please Arthur Miller purists.”

“"This down-home tale has a lot going for it, from energetic choreography by Josh Rhodes to a great cast directed by Walter Bobbie and a breakout performance from golden-voiced Carmen Cusack in the lead role...If one overlooks the two things that bog down 'Bright Star'—Ms.”

“Steven Karam, best known for his 2011 drama Sons of the Prophet, establishes himself as one of America’s leading playwrights here with the saga of the Blakes.”

“With some heavy script doctoring, Allegiance could have been a modern classic but as is, it is one big missed opportunity.”

“However, it would be remiss to not point out that some of the original drama and intensity, performed by both deaf and hearing actors, is lost in translation here.”

“Hamilton has truly started a Broadway revolution and will continue to influence the American musical theater for years to come.”

“At times scathingly hilarious but ultimately disturbing, this tragicomic masterpiece takes digs at everything from Christianity and teenage angst to taboo sex.”

“Mr. David aims to please, but the end product is an unsatisfying half-baked comedy.”

“This explosive story demonstrates that great original theater— the type that overwhelms the senses and restores one’s faith in quality, live entertainment that actually says something— is definitely possible.”

“Regardless, Beautiful has a guilty-pleasure sense of fun and nostalgia and a few hearty performances, making us overlook the show’s many shortcomings.”

“Kinky Boots and its cast get a standing ovation because they have earned and deserve it.”

“The show’s seamless songs and witty lyrics celebrate Mormonism while mocking it simultaneously.”

“Besides, Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell directs everything nicely with his usual entertaining touches, making On Your Feet! a “Gloria-fied” hit.”
