Featured Shows
&Juliet
&Juliet
It’s perhaps only appropriate that “&Juliet,” the thoroughly enchanting new “jukebox musical” now at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, ends with an audience singalong to “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” the ultra-catchy Oscar-nominated theme from the 2016… [more]
A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical
A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical
Prepare to hear noise – and make noise – at “A Beautiful Noise,” the often exuberant if tonally confused biomusical about the legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond, now settling in for what I expect to be… [more]
A Doll’s House
A Doll’s House
Words definitely speak louder than actions in Jamie Lloyd’s much-anticipated revival of Henrik Ibsen’s landmark 1879 play “A Doll’s House,” now at the Hudson Theatre – in large part because Lloyd’s uber-minimalist production has stripped… [more]
Aladdin
Aladdin
Casey Nicholaw has proven more than once over his career that he knows how to create a truly show-stopping moment on stage (just think of “Show Off” from “The Drowsy Chaperone”), but the talented director-choreographer… [more]
Bad Cinderella
Bad Cinderella
To get the obvious question out of the way: Is “Bad Cinderella” actually bad? That’s not the adjective that best describes what’s on stage at the Imperial Theater; inept, confused, oddly sincere, ridiculously campy, mostly… [more]
Camelot
Camelot
“Camelot. Camelot. I know it sounds a bit bizarre.” In reality, the most bizarre thing about the original 1960 production of this now-legendary musical re-telling of the reign of King Arthur wasn’t its fanciful descriptions… [more]
Chicago
Chicago
For much of its 20+ year run, the Broadway revival of the brilliant John Kander-Fred Ebb musical “Chicago” at the Ambassador Theatre has attracted new audiences by bringing in a rotating series of superstars from… [more]
Fat Ham
Fat Ham
“What a piece of work is man,” wrote William Shakespeare in his masterful tragedy “Hamlet.” But just as I suspect the Bard never imagined that seminal speech would become part of the legendary 1960s musical… [more]
Funny Girl
Funny Girl
It was long been speculated that the reason no Broadway producer has revived the legendary musical “Funny Girl” since 1964 is that no woman could erase the memory of Barbra Streisand, who magnificently portrayed the… [more]
Good Night, Oscar
Good Night, Oscar
If the entrance applause for Sean Hayes is a little quieter than one might expect when he finally appears onstage at the Belasco Theater about 15 minutes into Doug Wright’s entertaining bioplay “Good Night, Oscar,”… [more]
Hamilton
Hamilton
History is made, in more ways than one, in “Hamilton,” the consistently thrilling, often groundbreaking new musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda that has landed at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre after an award-winning run earlier this year… [more]
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
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]
Katsura Sunshine’s Rakugo
Katsura Sunshine’s Rakugo
Katsura Sunshine’s Rakugo celebrates the art of comic storytelling and features a lone storyteller dressed in kimono, kneeling on a cushion, using only a fan and a hand towel for props, entertaining the audience with… [more]
King James
King James
As we’ve all experienced in life, some of our deepest friendships were formed by a common interest or experience, forged in just a moment of connection, and have disintegrated – permanently or temporarily – as… [more]
Leopoldstadt
Leopoldstadt
When seeing a Tom Stoppard play, one expects to be intellectually dazzled, if not emotionally devastated. That changes with “Leopoldstadt,” now getting its U.S. premiere at Broadway’s Longacre Theatre, which magnificently succeeds at both challenging… [more]
Life of Pi
Life of Pi
Tigers and zebras and rainstorms, oh my! The truly remarkable theatrical stagecraft one witnesses during “Life of Pi,” now on stage on Broadway’s Gerald Schoenfeld Theater, is admittedly something that audiences will remember – and… [more]
MJ
MJ
If there’s ever been any question that Michael Jackson was one of the greatest singer-dancers that pop music has ever produced, the new biomusical “MJ,” now at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theatre, simply refutes all doubters.… [more]
Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Moulin Rouge! The Musical
As any Francophile can tell you, red is the signature hue of the new Broadway megamusical “Moulin Rouge,” now at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. It’s prevalent in many aspects of Derek McLane’s extra-extravagant set, Catherine… [more]
New York, New York
New York, New York
While New York, New York may be (for some of us) the city so nice they named it twice, sitting through the new musical of the same name just once can be a sometimes exasperating… [more]
Parade
Parade
As a Jew, I don’t really need to be reminded of the antisemitism rapidly sweeping this country again. But even if this terrifying trend wasn’t happening, watching the current revival of the 1998 musical “Parade,”… [more]
Peter Pan Goes Wrong
Peter Pan Goes Wrong
If you go into “Peter Pan Goes Wrong,” without any foreknowledge of the show, you might expect that it tells what would happen if J.M. Barrie’s ageless boy ended up accidentally on the third star… [more]
Prima Facie
Prima Facie
It’s hard to decide whether to give Jodie Comer a Tony Award or an Olympic Gold Medal (or both) for her emotionally and physically exhausting solo turn in Suzie Miller’s award-winning drama “Prima Facie,” now… [more]
Primary Trust
Primary Trust
“No one is alone” sing the characters towards the end of Stephen Sondheim’s beloved musical “Into the Woods,” even though each has faced almost incomparable grief and suffering. And initially, it seems that Kenneth (stunningly… [more]
Shucked
Shucked
No one will blame you if you leave the Nederlander Theatre and immediately run to the nearest bathroom… to write “For a good time, call 1-800-SHUCKED.” Of course, doing that won’t sell any tickets to… [more]
Six
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]
Some Like It Hot
Some Like It Hot
Giving musical theater audiences what they want has proved to be an increasingly tricky task. Giving them what they “need” is even harder. So, let’s give a round of pre-show applause to “Some Like It… [more]
Summer, 1976
Summer, 1976
“People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person,” starts a famous, anonymously written… [more]
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
When you’ve attended the tale of “Sweeney Todd,” nearly a dozen times, it’s perhaps forgivable that indelible images of previous productions swim through your head during the early moments of Thomas Kail’s ultimately must-see version… [more]
The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon
Traditional in form and style, but subversive in content, the new musical, “The Book of Mormon,” is a no-holds-barred extravaganza rife with irreverence. Its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, of “South Park” fame, and… [more]
The Lion King
The Lion King
The most successful of Disney's screen-to-stage adaptations benefits greatly from Julie Taymor's masterful staging, complete with bigger-than-life puppets who bring the African wildlife to life. The story of the young lion cub who must succeed… [more]
The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window
The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window
Years later and a thousand miles away from Chicago, the characters in Lorraine Hansberry’s “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window” are searching for their fulfillment of their own American Dreams, but theirs are not as… [more]
The Thanksgiving Play
The Thanksgiving Play
Larissa FastHorse has a bone to pick – and it’s not the one in the turkey. In “The Thanksgiving Play,” her pointed satire now making a belated Broadway debut via Second Stage at the Helen… [more]
Titanique
Titanique
With so much of today’s theater forcing us to reflect on our current-day society and its moral problems, no one can blame audiences for seeking a pure escape – perhaps just like the millionaires of… [more]
Wicked
Wicked
This very entertaining if dangerously overstuffed musical tells the "true story" about how poor misunderstood Elphaba (Shoshanna Bean) became the Wicked Witch of the West, and how she and good witch Galinda (Jennifer Laura Thompson)… [more]
Without You
Without You
I give full credit to any performer willing to take the stage by themselves and try to keep an audience’s attention for the entire show. Intriguingly, “Rent” star Anthony Rapp’s first attempt at this genre,… [more]
