'The Performers' Is an Embarrassment for All Concerned

Names such as Henry Winkler, Cheyenne Jackson, and Alicia Silverstone can’t save David West Read’s cynical “The Performers,” which plays like a square and very bad 1960s sex comedy.

'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' Sings Again at Roundabout

Roundabout has revived Rupert Holmes’ 1985 musical of Charles Dickens’ “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” in director Scott Ellis’ brisk and bright, strikingly handsome production.

A Reconsidered 'Cyrano de Bergerac' Scores

Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s brilliant translation of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” receives an expert production directed by Doug Hughes, with an astounding ensemble led by Boyd Gaines and Richard Thomas.

NY Review: 'Gore Vidal's The Best Man'

Elizabeth Ashley, Cybill Shepherd, John Stamos, and Kristin Davis join the cast of Michael Wilson's riveting production of "Gore Vidal's The Best Man."
