The emotional impact of the story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan still comes through in this uneven Broadway revival.
Played Sinatra's niece in 'Some Came Running'
A disappointing revival of a play that deserves a slightly better fate.
This satirical comedy about a pair of married gossip columnists proves less satisfying than a blind item.

As anyone who's perused the Broadway Internet chat rooms already knows, the current revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music has already elicited wildly divergent reactions. This is no surprise for a Sondheim show; the composer's fans, and they are legion, have always been a highly vocal lot. Trevor Nunn's chamber-music style rendition, imported here after previous runs at London's Menier Chocolate Factory and the West End, is indeed a substantially different Night Music than audiences are accustomed to. But whatever its flaws, it's nonetheless a welcome return of a show that has inexplicably not received a Broadway revival since the original Hal Prince production in 1973.
Mamet's work is clearly meant to be an incendiary examination of racial and gender politics a la his Oleanna. Like that play, Race ultimately doesn't quite fulfill its thematic aspirations, but it is a far more entertaining effort that benefits from the playwright's trademark crackling dialogue.
"Nine" marks the number of terrific acting and singing talents poorly used in this flat rendition of the Broadway musical.
The Hollywood Reporter's Zorianna Kit sat down with friends and colleagues of the honorees and learned a few things about them that aren't wildly known.
Any staging of the musical Dreamgirls has a lot of history to contend with. Anyone who saw the now legendary original 1981 production so brilliantly directed by Michael Bennett will never forget it, and the 2006 movie version was no slouch either. The current revival, playing a limited run at the Apollo Theater before beginning a national tour and a possible return to Broadway, is unlikely to erase anyone's memories. But it generally gets the job done, and anyone approaching the show without too much baggage is likely to have a fine time.
An original and often witty play that says less than it wants to say in more words than it needs to use.
Although it would seem to hold the promise of being an extended dirty joke, Sarah Ruhl's In the Next Room or the vibrator play actually is a surprisingly funny and sensitive portrait of the eternal disconnect between men and women.
