Floyd and Clea Under the Western Sky
Review by Robert Simonson

If you find Nashville's musical output largely maudlin, schematic, clichéd or just plain dull, you'll probably find many of the same qualities in this affectionate but rote work.

The Vertical Hour
Review by Adam Feldman

If Moore is less onstage, Hare is partly to blame.

Two Trains Running
Review by Adam Feldman

There is music, unmistakably, throughout Two Trains Running. It's there in the rhythm and blues of Wilson's language, especially in the longer speeches: spoken-word arias of anger, compassio…

The Atheist
Review by Helen Shaw

What should be a delicious plunge into a fame whore's dark heart winds up as a mere paddle in a shallow slush of sin.

Gutenberg! The Musical!
Review by Raven Snook

Sincerity in Gutenberg! is played strictly for laughs--and lots of them.

Leslie Kritzer Is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches

Bill W. and Dr. Bob
Review by Raven Snook

The title characters' journeys are reduced to a series of broad, melodramatic episodes, like a drunk remembering snippets of his life in between blackouts.

Dying City
Review by David Cote

Christopher Shinn's fragile and slow-boiling study of wartime grief and nonclosure comes to Lincoln Center like a shrapnel wound to the fat, old belly of that institution.

Howard Katz
Review by David Cote

As Marber shows again in Howard Katz, his bland depiction of the male midlife crisis, he's just a garden-variety slinger of bile and bitchiness.

The Attic
Review by Adam Feldman

Sakate deserves credit for thinking both about and outside of the boxes he examines.

an oak tree - review by Adam Feldman

His hour-long riff on transubstantiation is a playful, imaginative and unexpectedly lovely tribute to the power of suggestion.

The Coast of Utopia - Part Two: Shipwreck
Review by David Cote

Apparently the law of trilogies is as true for Tom Stoppard as it was for George Lucas and Peter Jackson: Second parts kick butt.

Operation Ajax
Review by Adam Feldman

Alternately amusing and chilling, the play serves as an appropriately barbed newswire.

Becoming Adele
Review by Robert Simonson

One of the hard-luck hoofers in A Chorus Line could sum up this '70s-style, I'm-okay-you're-okay story in five minutes flat, with a few tap steps thrown in.

Particularly in the Heartland
Review by Helen Shaw

Simultaneously intelligent, rueful, celebratory, delightful and devastatingly sad, the show actually lives up to its ambitions.

Los Angeles
Review by Jeff Lewonczyk

Against the odds, the creative team manages to scribble out its own graffiti on the looming Hollywood sign of legend.

The Romance of Magno Rubio
Review by Adam Feldman

Carter's writing, peppered with Tagalog and mostly written in spry rhyming couplets, draws dramatic energy from specific Filipino history and cultural traditions.

The Eaten Heart
Review by David Cote

Bos and Thureen's coy, fragmentary approach can be drolly evocative, but after an hour it does grow a bit frustrating.

Biography
Review by Adam Feldman

Biography is essentially comfort theater: a boulevard comedy pleasantly staged in the middle of the road.

Mother Load
Review by Raven Snook

Wilson is a funny lady, able to wring humor out of a very thin show that rags on an easy target: the new breed of Uggs-wearing, Bugaboo-pushin', Cookie magazine­readin' mamas.

Grey Gardens - review by Adam Feldman
