The Visitor ***1/2
By: Paulanne Simmons December 6, 2021: The Visitor, The Public Theater's new musical by Kwame Kwei-Armah (book), Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics) and Tom Kitt (music), based on Thomas McCarthy's 2008 film, has been roundly dismissed by theater critics. Reviewers have found fault with "the clunkiest exposition" or "Tom Kitt's middling score" or even the direction of a veteran favorite, Daniel Sullivan.Â
