Theater Review: The Heidi Chronicles Returns, With Elisabeth Moss
8 / 10
This is Wasserstein at her most trenchant, offering the kind of observation that earned The Heidi Chronicles both the Tony award and the Pulitzer Prize. I can't think either was for the dramaturgy; even when Heidi relents, describing her emotional dependence on unavailable men, she somehow remains aloof and maddeningly resistant to change. Meanwhile, everyone else, whom we drop in on less frequently, seems to change like crazy, in scenes (I almost said sketches) written so broadly they now seem dated. At least two of them - the rap-group meeting as well as an inane panel discussion in 1982 - have the stock setups and bright satirical tone of early Saturday Night Live, only instead of Gilda Radner we have Tracee Chimo.
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.
