THE BOSS NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW
Opening Night: November 24, 2012
Show
Did He Like It?*
Synopsis
In 1911, a bare-knuckles robber-baron has taken over the grain industry in a Great Lakes city, squeezing out all competition, crushing his workers, and turning a once proud city into his own fiefdom. A youthful idealist organizes a strike to fight back, and the Boss threatens to bankrupt the entire town. Perhaps the only real hope lies in the unlikeliest place: the heart of a ruthless man who has also fallen in love. One-half melodrama, one-half social protest, The Boss is a confrontation of corporate power, individual generosity, community values, and even a newly globalizing economy--all from 100 years ago.

"Sorry to disappoint the E Street Band fans out there: “The Boss” is not a play about Bruce Springsteen, though some of that Boss’s lyrical themes resonate in the revival of this 1911 melodrama about class and the American dream at the Metropolitan Playhouse."
