‘Jitney’, ‘Under The Radar’ Reviews: August Wilson’s Genius Shone Through From The Start
Among the achievements of the American theater over the last century, August Wilson’s work ranks comfortably with the best.

Stout Josh Groban Leads Lavish ‘Great Comet Of 1812’ To Broadway Opening – Review
What a world MacArthur “genius” Mimi Lien has created at the Imperial Theatre for Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet Of 1812.

Liev Schreiber Dons Wig And Accent In ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’ Broadway Revival – Review
Idle rich do the Devil’s work in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, turning innocents and believers into pliant lovers ripe for betrayal, all for their personal amusement.

Andrew Rannells And Christian Borle Are Tender, If Unlikely, Lovers In ‘Falsettos’ Revival – Review
You undoubtedly know their names and faces: Andrew Rannells plays Lena Dunham’s’ gay confidante Elijah in HBO’s Girls. Christian Borle played the depressive composer Tom Levitt on NBC’s Smash.

Diane Lane Flits Through A Merry `Cherry Orchard’; Mary-Louise Parker & Dennis Arndt Dazzle In ‘Heisenberg’ – Broadway Review
Diane Lane stars in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Broadway revival of The Cherry Orchard. This beautiful film actor (Trumbo, Unfaithful) can hardly be accused of helicoptering down to the Broadway landing pad: Last year off-Broadway she and Tony Shalhoub anchored one of the best plays of the season, Bathsheba Doran…

Irving Berlin’s ‘Holiday Inn’ Sleighs ‘Em In Times Square; Judith Light’s Transparent Scandal: Reviews
Holiday Inn sets the Broadway musical back 75 years. I doubt anyone will be complaining.
An exuberant, shamelessly old-fashioned tap-and-tuner presented by the Roundabout Theatre Company at its Studio 54 theater, this adaptation of the 1942 Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire Paramount film is an endorphin assault, inducing…
