Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"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, very imbalanced revival at the American Airlines Theater. Making a sensational Broadway debut in Rufus Norris’s production, which also stars an uncomfortably cast Laura Linney, this London actor seems at all times pulled, pummeled and shaped by the prospect of physical pleasure."

NEWSDAY REVIEW:
"Les Liaisons Dangereuses, so exquisitely unrepentant and sophisticated when the Royal Shakespeare Company brought it to Broadway in 1987, feels long-winded and a little dowdy and self-consciously naughty in the good-looking but erratic revival that opened last night at the Roundabout Theatre Company."

USA TODAY REVIEW:
"Love is a many splendored thing — except when it isn't. In the Roundabout Theatre Company's new production of Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses, the characters played by Laura Linney and Ben Daniels at first seem resolutely unromantic. Anti-romantic, you might even say."

VARIETY REVIEW:
"In Roundabout's stylish Broadway revival, Hampton's pungent brew of aristocratic mores, salacious scandal, high culture and low innuendo proves resilient -- despite some heavy-handed directorial choices and one crucial piece of miscasting."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"The carnal conspirators are back in the sturdy and stylish revival of Christopher Hampton's "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," first seen on Broadway in 1987."

THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"Vice and depravity wrapped up like a box of bonbons, costumes to die for, a dashing swordfight - and while virtue isn't rewarded, at least the wages of sin are ironically paid. What is there not to like in Les Liaisons Dangereuses?"

AMNY REVIEW:
"Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a total anomaly in modern dramatic literature."

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"No argument is likely to flare up when I say that Laura Linney as La Marquise de Merteuil in the Roundabout Theatre's accomplished revival of Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses is more exquisite than anyone else currently on Broadway."
