Broadway Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Yards and yards of patriotic bunting stun the senses as you enter the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater, where a revival of “Gore Vidal’s The Best Man” opened on Sunday night. Television monitors displaying black-and-white footage hang from boxes that frame the stage, and the usher handing you your program wears a festive boater with red, white and blue trim. The aim is to give the audience a sense of being present at a presidential nominating convention in Philadelphia in 1960, where the play is set."

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:
"Politics, the writer Gore Vidal once reminded us, is made up of two words: "`Poli,' which is Greek for `many,' and `tics,' which are bloodsucking insects." What was implied was also true — that those same darn pests turn up year after year."

USA TODAY REVIEW:
"William Russell has a lot to recommend him as a presidential candidate. A former secretary of State, he's smart as a whip, thoughtful and so fair-minded that he objects to slinging mud even at a ruthless opponent poised to tar him with distorted personal information."
