When seeing a Tom Stoppard play, one expects to be intellectually dazzled, if not emotionally devastated. That changes with 'Leopoldstadt,' now getting its U.S. premiere at Broadway's Longacre Theatre, which magnificently succeeds at both challenging the brain and piercing the heart. (So yes, it's worth the sometimes-painful effort to sit for two-plus hours without intermission.)
8 / 10
To be a Jew in 'Leopoldstadt' is unmitigated bad news, an identity to shed in good times and shun in bad ones. Mr. Stoppard's play delivers little of the joy of Jewish life, and plenty of its travails. It is a serious and old-fashioned play, admirable in its refusal to universalize, in its adamantine insistence that Jewish pain of 1942 matters in 2022. In telling his own tale, Mr. Stoppard, a lion in winter, proves that he still can create work that bites.
Leopoldstadt, winner of the 2023 Tony Award for Best Play, welcomed a few more special guests before wrapping up its Broadway run. See photos of the cast visiting with President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, their daughter Chelsea Clinton and filmmaker Ben Stiller in photos from backstage!

A limited series adaptation of Leopoldstadt is in the works. Discussions to bring the acclaimed play to the small screen began discreetly before the Writers Guild of America strike began. No deals for the series have been made and it will most likely not land until after the strike is over.
Just close your eyes at the Longacre Theatre and you will be transported from the heart of New York City to 20th century Vienna. That is thanks to the maticuous work of Adam Cork, who acted as Sound Designer and created original music for Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt.
