I'm in the minority, but ... while I appreciated aspects of both of the prior New York productions, I've never understood the widespread embrace of this play in the US, in terms of revisiting it frequently. Or more directly, why anyone thought we needed another edition in 2014, so soon after the last one. As always, a middling production of any play can make the original text seem less enthralling. (Remember the NIGHT MOTHER revival, which managed to dilute the power almost entirely, with two actors whose acting styles weren't remotely in sync.)

Loved the reviewer who said the set reminded her/him of IKEA
The set makes it harder to understand those seeing it for the first time.The set stays the same so you have no idea what is part of the play in a play & what is not.
I'm with you, Auggie. I've never liked it, not the original or the revival in 2000.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
