Off-Broadway Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Off-Broadway.
Southern Comforts: Well-Seasoned Romantic Comedy
If there's a funnier, more enchanting or better-acted romantic comedy playing in New York than Kathleen Clark's story of septuagenarians faling in love, I sure can't name it.
The Cartells: A Theatrical Dynasty
Douglas Carter Beane's hilarious spoof of nighttime soaps combines bitchy drama, contemporary politics and the net-less tightrope walking excitement of intentionally under-rehearsed theatre
My Name Is Rachel Corrie: Off-Stage Drama
After all the controversy, the accusations of censorship and the petitions and letters of protest, Britain's Royal Court Theatre production has finally made it to New York.
Blue Door: Living History
Tanya Barfield's fascinating study of culture, history, and family is running at Playwrights Horizons.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie: The Humanities Girls
Although Muriel Spark's novel could certainly make for a fine play, Jay Presson Allen's stage adaptation is better served when treated as a star vehicle
Nixon's Nixon: Let Me Say This About That
MCC brings back the original actors and director for their 10 Anniversary production of Russell Lees' vision of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger
Machiavelli: Try And Talk Your Way Out Of This One
Richard Vetere's play lacks wit or any kind of empathy, but it might have stood a chance if Evan Bergman's blocking weren't so static
The Pain And The Itch: My So-Called Liberal Life
Bruce Norris' wonderfully vicious and somewhat disturbing dark comedy targets smart, educated and supposedly open-minded ladder-climbers whose left-wing activism is generally defined by watching PBS
Asylum: The Strange Case of Mary Lincoln: Character Assassin
Given a fine and well-sung premiere production by The York Theatre, this new musical about the widowed first lady is by turns engaging in its successes and frustrating in its failures
The Treatment: Acts of Patriotism?
Eve Ensler's gripping and provocative two-character play deals with the psychological aftermath of performing cruel acts in the service of one's country
WASPs In Bed: Where Is Thy Sting?
Awkwardly teetering between unfunny romantic comedy and unfunny sex farce, WASPs In Bed isn't exactly romantic or sexy either.
Marco Millions (based on lies): A History of Truthiness
The Waterwell companypresents a musical adaptation of the Eugene O'Neill play.
Seven Guitars: Sweetly Strummed
August Wilson's bluesy drama receives a completely captivating Off-Broadway revival from The Signature Theatre Company.
The Fantasticks: Welcome Back, Old Friend
Once again, large squares of multi-colored confetti are being tossed into the air by a young man who doesn't speak, and a terrible void left in New York's theatrical universe has been lovingly filled with the poetry, humor, romance and whimsy of Tom Jones' words and Harvey Schmidt's music.
Come Get Your Laughs
Creation: A Clown Story Helps Adults and Children Have a Good Time
No Child...: A Captive Audience
Nilaja Sun's completely absorbing and exceptionally performed solo play, based on her experiences teaching in some of New York's toughest public schools, is easily one of the best offerings currently available in any New York theatre
If You Give A Mouse a Cookie & Other Story Books
Children's storybooks come to musical life in this witty and delightful collection from TheatreworksUSA.
River Deep: What's Dramaturgy Got to Do With It?
When Gabrielle Lansner's dancers shimmy and go-go to Philip Hamilton's rock and roll score, River Deep has a vibrant and nostalgic energy.
Room Service: Four Star Entertainment
I dare you to find a funnier two hours in town than the Pecadillo Theatre Company's new production of this 1937 show biz farce
Secrets: Keep It To Yourself
A new play about marital drama at the Theatre At St.
History that Entertains
Sallie Bingham's historical play 'Treason' delights audiences as the Perry Street Theatre's final performance
