Glory Days Broadway

 

May 10, 2008: Though it is set in an era of speakeasies and bathtub gin, the 1920s musical “No, No, Nanette” makes only fleeting reference to cocktails. Bootleg hooch is clearly not the . . . .

Glory Days Broadway

 

May 8, 2008: It seems safe to say that no New York restaurant, not even Michael’s or the Four Seasons, has seen a power meal to match the one that so exhilaratingly begins . . .

Glory Days Broadway

 

May 7, 2008: The new musical Glory Days may be the youngest-feeling show about being young ever to land on Broadway. Granted, this callow portrait of four friends on the cusp of manhood . . .

Boeing Boeing Broadway

 

May 5, 2008: Boeing Boeing, a creaky French comedy that has been given the makeover of the season by the director Matthew Warchus, has no earthly right to be as funny as it is . . .

Les Liasons Dangereuses Broadway

 

May 2, 2008: Hedonism becomes a gravitational force in Ben Daniels’s compelling turn as an 18th-century libertine in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which opened Thursday night in an eye-filling . . .

Thurgood Broadway

 

May 1, 2008: It’s a safe bet that Thurgood is the only play on Broadway at which the announcement of a famous legal verdict is greeted by a burst of heartfelt applause . . .

Sound and the Fury Broadway

 

April 30, 2008: For the record, Elevator Repair Service’s Sound and the Fury (April Seventh, 1928) lasts over two and a half hours, counting intermission . . .

Country Girl Broadway

 

April 27, 2008: A single breath of suspense, as faint as a half-stifled sigh, occasionally stirs the inert revival of Clifford Odets’s Country Girl, which opened on Sunday night . . .

Cry Baby Broadway
 

April 24, 2008: Brace yourself for a shock, gentle theatergoer. There’s no delicate way of putting this. Cry-Baby, the latest Broadway musical based on a John Waters movie, is . . . tasteless . . .
