Broadway Review

Oleanna

Douglas Hughes reconsiders David Mamet's explosive two-hander about sexual harassment, and with powerhouse performances from Julia Stiles and Bill Pullman, it's more than just a one-sided battle.

Fences

Denzel Washington is magnificent in the role indelibly created by James Earl Jones, and the astonishing Viola Davis matches him every step of the way. It's a deeply moving, hugely satisfying evening of theater.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

There's much to enjoy in David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane's adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar's 1988 film, particularly the top-notch, star-heavy cast, but ultimately the show fails to jell.

Bonnie & Clyde

Whatever made Bonnie and Clyde special is missing from this sentimental musical, as are sufficient character development, adequate dramatic thrust, and any kind of subtext.

Mrs. Warren's Profession

George Bernard Shaw's infamous play on the subject of female prostitution may be 117 years old, but its ideas still feel decidedly modern in director Doug Hughes' largely crackling production for Roundabout Theatre Company.

Relatively Speaking

Woody Allen is as funny as ever, contributing a riotous farce that's equal parts Marx Brothers and Freud, but Ethan Coen and Elaine May get mixed results in this program of three one-acts.

In the Next Room or the vibrator play

Sarah Ruhl's odd but somehow moving new play combines farce and drama for a challenging examination of women's sexuality in the repressive Victorian era.

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

In Michael Wilson's crackling take on "Gore Vidal's The Best Man," Eric McCormack, John Larroquette, James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, and more are tops.

NY Review: 'Ghost'

Director Matthew Warchus turns the touching 1990 film “Ghost” into a showbiz musical extravaganza with a loud pop score from Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard.

Donny & Marie: A Broadway Christmas

Donny and Marie Osmond both work hard for the holiday cheer in this Vegas-style entertainment; the trouble is that we can see them sweat. Kudos to Marie for a supple and versatile voice.
