“‘Between Riverside and Crazy’ review: A titanic stage performance” The riveting play “Between Riverside and Crazy,” which opened Monday night on Broadway, begins with a yuletide bait-and-switch: In one of the rooms of a sprawling apartment, we see a Christmas tree. But there are no carols, gifts and cocoa to match the mirth outside right…
“a lovable and intimate revival” The late composer Stephen Sondheim’s biggest career flop has turned out to be one of the best musicals of the theater season — a mere 41 years after it first premiered. Downtown at New York Theatre Workshop, the lovable and intimate revival of his “Merrily We Roll Along” that opened…
“Broadway’s latest drag musical is tepid” Gentlemen prefer … the movie. The wobbly quality of the new Broadway musical “Some Like It Hot,” which opened Sunday night at the Shubert Theatre, is made much more obvious by the indisputable greatness of its source material.

“Fun songs, but plot is Bard to love” The new Broadway musical “& Juliet” is “Six” minus five. Like that latter original pop-music-packed show did with the sextet of spurned wives of Henry VIII, this jukebox Pixie Stick, which opened Thursday night, has one of William Shakespeare’s ingenues, Juliet Capulet, reclaim her tragic story from…
“Shocking ‘Downstate’ is the season’s best play so far” It will be hard to top the play “Downstate,” which opened Tuesday night at Playwrights Horizons, for controversy this season.

“‘Almost Famous’ Broadway review: Musical doesn’t rock” At the start of “Almost Famous,” which opened Thursday night on Broadway, the frontman of the fictional rock band Stillwater, Jeff Bebe, barks backstage in San Diego that a young Rolling Stone reporter in their midst is “the enemy!” Theater review 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one…
“Stoppard play is too big and icy” A grandmother makes a depressing observation early on in Tom Stoppard’s latest play “Leopoldstadt,” which opened Sunday night on Broadway.
