Elisabeth Moss Brings 'The Heidi Chronicles' Back to Broadway
8 / 10
Pam MacKinnon ('A Delicate Balance') snappily steers a story that tracks Heidi Holland, a stand-in for the playwright, from her high school years through adulthood...Moss is an excellent actress with an accessible warmth. The discussions Heidi has with the friends in her life, about how trapped they are by gender roles, have an air of familiarity -- I think about all the women in my own life, and it's easy to imagine many of these conflicts still playing out. The biggest surprise here is Bryce Pinkham, the charismatic actor who originated the title role in 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' and who is just marvelous as Peter, Wendy's gay confidante...'The Heidi Chronicles' never feels like a time capsule memento. The subject matter is as relevant today as it was 25 years ago.
‘The Heidi Chronicles’ Review: Nice and Easy Does It Every Time
8 / 10
I was struck by how poorly 'The Heidi Chronicles' had aged when I saw the Berkshire Theatre Festival's excellent 2006 production, and the new Broadway revival, directed by Pam MacKinnon and starring Elisabeth Moss, soon to be formerly of 'Mad Men,' fails to make a compelling case for taking Wasserstein's best-remembered play any more seriously today...Ms. MacKinnon's staging is as flabby as the long-winded script, and the chirpy, cherry Ms. Moss is no more convincing as a feminist academic than she was playing Madonna's part in the 2008 Broadway revival of 'Speed-the-Plow.' Of the supporting actors, Tracee Chimo assumes four widely varied roles with switchblade-sharp comic definition. Sheshould have been cast as Heidi.
