    Lombardi

    Eric Simonson fails to score a touchdown with this lackluster bio-play. There are plenty of stats, but there's little dramatic conflict.

    The Royal Family

    George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber's 1927 comedy returns to Broadway in a riotous, over-the-top staging in which everyone from the leads to the walk-ons shines.

    God of Carnage

    The setup is fairly obvious in Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage: Two sets of upper-middle-class parents amicably meet to settle a schoolyard dispute between their young sons.

    After a run Off-Broadway last year, this production of "Reasons to Be Pretty" marks Neil LaBute's Broadway debut. Why has it taken so long for the prolific playwright to find his way to the Main Stem?
