The Parisian Woman - 2017 Broadway History , Info & More
Hudson Theatre (Broadway)
141 W. 44th St. New York, NY
Academy Award nominee UMA THURMAN stars in THE PARISIAN WOMAN, a new play written by Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee BEAU WILLIMON ("House of Cards") and directed by Tony Award winner PAM MacKINNON (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?).
Set in Washington, D.C., where powerful friends are the only kind worth having, the story follows Chloe (UMA THURMAN), a socialite armed with charm and wit, coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage and an uncertain future. Dark humor and drama collide at this pivotal moment in Chloe's life, and in our nation's, when the truth isn't obvious and the stakes couldn't be higher.
THE PARISIAN WOMAN begins performances November 9 at Hudson Theatre, and also stars JOSH LUCAS (Sweet Home Alabama), MARTON CSOKAS (The Lord of the Rings), Tony Award nominee PHILLIPA SOO (Hamilton) and Tony Award winner BLAIR BROWN.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Parisian Woman
THEATER REVIEW: 'THE PARISIAN WOMAN'
6 / 10
The entire production has an under-developed quality, even Thurman's Chloe seems half-baked. It's almost as if this is a show pilot that needs subsequent episodes to flesh it all out. It's easy to be cynical about Washington politics. The hard part is making it compelling. 'House of Cards' did it in spades with a stable of irresistible villains. Unfortunately, 'The Parisian Woman' is neither villainous nor irresistible enough to make us care one way or the other.
Is the real Washington this much of a snooze?
5 / 10
Thurman makes her Broadway debut at the Hudson Theatre, and so does Willimon, the playwright who hit it big with 'House of Cards,' his juicy and now - thanks to the allegations against Kevin Spacey - canceled Netflix remake of the diabolical British series of the same title. Neither 'Parisian's' star nor writer experience their finest hour with 'The Parisian Woman,' which had its official opening Thursday night and which, despite its plot of multiple infidelities and embittering betrayals, feels as if it has had the life sucked out of it. Not only is the Washington of Willimon's imagination here a place of tawdry political prostitution, but it's also a pretty dull den of iniquity to boot
