Assassins
Given the increasingly political divisions engulfing this country, should one really encourage a production of John Weidman and Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking 1990 musical “Assassins” -- a darkly comic vaudeville about the men and women who killed (or try to kill)… [more] |

Caroline, or Change
“Change come fast, change come slow,” sings the radio during Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori’s richly layered musical “Caroline, or Change,” now being given a deeply stirring revival by the Roundabout Theatre Company at Studio… [more] |

Chicken & Biscuits

Clyde's
Word to the wise: Do not, under any circumstances, come with even one hunger pang to “Clyde’s,” Lynn Nottage’s devilishly funny new comedy, now being presented by Second Stage at Broadway’s Hayes Theater. I promise… [more] |

David Byrne's American Utopia
You may ask yourself, “How did David Byrne get here?” as you enter the Hudson Theatre for the rock superstar’s “American Utopia.” And the odds are, you’re not alone, even if any metaphysical questions are… [more] |

Dear Evan Hansen
Even on my fourth viewing of the Tony-winning Dear Evan Hansen, the heart-stirring musical at The Music Box Theatre, I was frequently moved to tears by the show’s universal and topical subject matter, smarty explored… [more] |

Freestyle Love Supreme
Many a Broadway show has taken a long and winding road before ending up on the Main Stem – countless developmental workshops, out-of-town tryouts, even out-of-country tryouts – but it seems fitting that the utterly… [more] |

Girl From the North Country
The world is full of natural, if not altogether obvious, matches. (Think chocolate and peanut butter, perhaps.) Now, add to that list the great Irish playwright Conor McPherson and the singular American songwriter (and Nobel… [more] |

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Yes, Virginia, there’s finally some real magic back on Broadway! Fear not, even in its “slimmed-down” one-part version, Jack Thorne’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” a continuation of J.K. Rowling’s multi-book saga, still has… [more] |

Jagged Little Pill
Audiences should be prepared to swallow a supersized dose of angst if they choose to attend “Jagged Little Pill,” the new musical at the Broadhurst Theatre, which takes its inspiration – and the majority of… [more] |

Mrs. Doubtfire
Much like its cross-dressed title character, “Mrs. Doubtfire,” now at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, clearly required some padding to turn its famed source material – the award-winning 1993 film starring Robin Williams – to transform… [more] |

Six
“Remember us from PBS?,” Catherine of Aragon (the excellent Adrianna Hicks) cheekily asks the audience early on at the extremely entertaining “Six,” even though I doubt if many of the folks sitting inside the Brooks… [more] |

The Alchemist
The three con artists at the center of Ben Johnson’ 1810 play The Alchemist, now at New World Stages, absolutely cannot turn stone into gold, as they promise, but the expert actors who play them… [more] |

The Lehman Trilogy
It feels almost dangerous to call a great theatrical experience a “lesson,” a word that inevitably conjures up images of dry lectures on subjects one may not care about. But it’s still the one that… [more] |

Thoughts of a Colored Man
In the wake of so much social unrest over the past couple of years, as we reckon with the heinous, unprovoked killings of so many African American men and women and the too-late realization for… [more] |

Tina Turner is no stranger to the art of transformation. Growing up in a poor Tennessee household in the 1940s and possibly destined to be a sharecropper, Anna Mae Bullock first became one of the… [more] |
