‘Call Me Izzy’ Review: A Woman Shows Her Smarts on Broadway
7 / 10
Ms. Smart never strikes a false or histrionic note, even when she steps from Izzy into the half-dozen or so other characters, all crisply delineated. It’s a terrific performance, but one that nevertheless remains constrained by the material’s limitations.
'Call Me Izzy' Broadway review — Jean Smart is masterful in powerful solo play
8 / 10
The subject matter of Call Me Izzy is inherently dark, but under the direction of Sarna Lapine (2017's Sunday in the Park with George on Broadway), there is an undeniable air of hope. Despite the smallness her husband imposes on her, Izzy moves through spaces confidently. She walks us through her life verbally and physically as the set transitions from Izzy’s bathroom to her kitchen to the shared outdoor space of her Louisiana trailer park.
