10 BEST REVIEWED BROADWAY SHOWS OF 2009:

*Listed by opening date

 

 

RAGTIME - 11/15/09

"An elegant, uplifting production. Warmly acted with a majestic set, Ragtime has moments of piercing sensitivity and an affecting human soul. Terrence McNally's script is a marvel of clarity." - Ben Brantley

FINIAN'S RAINBOW - 10/29/09

"All the comforting pleasures of the genre — infectious song, exuberant dancing, jokes both lovably corny and unexpectedly fresh, and of course the satisfying pairing of a him and a her — are on abundant display in this thoroughly winning production, a welcome picker-upper in an uneven Broadway season." - Charles Isherwood

WAITING FOR GODOT - 4/30/09

“Anthony Page’s smart, engaging production for the Roundabout Theater Company makes it clear that this greatest of 20th-century plays is also entertainment of a high order.” - Ben Brantley

NEXT TO NORMAL - 4/15/09

“No show on Broadway right now makes as direct a grab for the heart — or wrings it as thoroughly — as “Next to Normal ” does. This brave, breathtaking musical focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family, and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives.” - Ben Brantley

HAIR - 3/31/09

“This emotionally rich revival of “The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical” from 1967 delivers what Broadway otherwise hasn’t felt this season: the intense, unadulterated joy and anguish of that bi-polar state called youth.” - Ben Brantley

GOD OF CARNAGE - 3/22/09

“First class. A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play (which recently won the Olivier Award in London for best new comedy) is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment with an intellectual veneer.” - Ben Brantley

WEST SIDE STORY - 3/19/09

“This production is enthralling, electric and taken to a level of pure physical exhilaration. The irresistible score, gloriously rendered here, remains a ravishment, with some of the most gorgeous love songs ever. It’s hard not to melt into sweet agony.” - Ben Brantley

THE AMERICAN PLAN - 1/22/09

“Fear itself is something to fear in “The American Plan” by Richard Greenberg, an elegant and incisive 1990 play that has been given the revival it deserves by the Manhattan Theater Club. Subtle yet shimmeringly clear.” - Ben Brantley
