RECENTLY OPENED:

Bat Out Of Hell — The Musical

"…Bat Out Of Hell — The Musical is the most nutso, uninhibited, thoroughly over-the-top musical currently playing in New York. Do yourself a favor and see it while you still can — if only to bask in its improbable magnificence." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

Sea Wall / A Life

"Despite valiant attempts by [Tom] Sturridge, Sea Wall is almost completely mirthless, which makes sense considering its subject matter. Thankfully, A Life has plenty of laughs — and [Jake] Gyllenhaal knows how to deliver them." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

CLOSING SOON:

Broadway Bounty Hunter

"In a time of sound-alike new musicals chock-full of forgettable piano ballads, [composer] Joe Iconis stands out with his brassy, unapologetically melodic showtunes." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

The Cher Show

"With a book by Rick Elice (Jersey Boys) and direction by Jason Moore (Avenue Q), it doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does avoid some of the nastier potholes of the bio-musical form while driving home a sequin-studded spectacle." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow

"[Playwright Halley] Feiffer didn't have to change much to make [Anton Chekhov's] futility-fueled Three Sisters a comedy. With a firm grasp of the original play and a thrillingly rebellious spirit, Feiffer simply paints life (for everyone, not just depressed Russians) in the absurd light it deserves and makes the choice to laugh instead of cry."
