"TOM STOPPARD'S MASTERPIECE. AN EXQUISITE REVIVAL."
Scott Brown, New York Magazine
"FEEL THE HEAT RISING. Arcadia is propelled by genuine, panting passion. A TRULY WONDERFUL, DEEPLY FELT PLAY. SEE IT."
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA is now playing on Broadway for a limited engagement following a sold-out run in London. Directed by five-time Tony Award® nominee David Leveaux, ARCADIA is a masterpiece of misunderstanding and quest for knowledge resonating across centuries that John Lahr of The New Yorker calls "ONE OF THE GREAT PLAYS OF MY THEATERGOING LIFE."
"A TIME TRAVELING MASTERWORK. A RAVISHING ROMANCE.
DAVID LEVEAUX'S celebrated revival is emotionally exuberant."
Linda Winer, Newsday
"In revealing and celebrating the wanting in all of us, ARCADIA offers as thrilling and offers as thrilling and fulfilling a theatergoing experience as you'll likely have this season."
Elysa Gardner, USA Today
"ARCADIA STANDS TO LIVE FOREVER."
Marilyn Stasio, Variety
The revival’s design aspects are handsome – Donald Holder’s lighting nicely eases the transitions in time – while composer Corin Buckeridge’s piano music adds greatly to the show’s increasing wistfulness in mood. Keeping the play’s underlying emotions rather on the cool side, Leveaux grievously errs by usually pacing the conversations at a hasty clip. No doubt the director knows the play very well but he should not assume that American audiences can follow its British and Stoppardian intricacies quite so easily.
Tom Stoppard's 'Arcadia' is witty, erudite and cunningly structured. David Leveaux's revival, which opened on Broadway last night, looks handsome, and its cast, including Billy Crudup and Raúl Esparza, does fine, nuanced work. But boy, is the show tedious.
