9 / 10
It’s an acting challenge that’s sunk many a decent actress, but rising star Nina Arianda nailed it. With a bow to Holliday’s sweet naiveté, Arianda makes the role her own. She gets a huge assist from costume designer Catherine Zuber, who drapes her fabulously svelte figure in elegantly ostentatious fashion.
9 / 10
The play, which revolves around corruption in big business and politics, couldn't be timelier. And the acting in Doug Hughes' excellent new production couldn't be better or more thrilling, especially from actor Jim Belushi and newcomer Nina Arianda.
