When a tunesmith has a highly personal style, the potential exists for the songs to begin to sound alike after the fifth or sixth or even the third or fourth ones.

Review: Kicking a Dead Horse By Matt Windman (**)

The Violet Hour

This literate, funny yet poignant play has enough going for it even without the surprise element.

Shadow Lawn Stage offers a neatly acted 'Odd Couple' by Peter Filichia

Zorro the Musical

What this musical has first and foremost, is action: magical disappearances and witty exchanges.

The Female of the Species
Review By DAVID BENEDICT

Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith's comedy ingredients are certainly bold, but the satirical farce meal she serves up is less than satisfying.

East 14th: True Tales of a Reluctant Player
Review By MARK BLANKENSHIP

Plays don't work like TV shows or standup routines, so why didn't Don Reed get some help?

Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh
Review By SAM THIELMAN

"Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh" returns to the Gotham stage after a well-reviewed first run last year, but it still needs the help of a dramaturg who's not afraid to employ the guillotine.

Ain't Misbehavin' - Reviewed by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY

Harlem Rep makes clear its association with the City College of New York's Department of Theatre and Speech but still purports to be a professional theatre. On the basis of this production, despite flashes of p…

Dog Day Afternoon - Reviewed by HARRY FORBES

One can't help but admire how resourcefully this 16-person ensemble dramatizes the events - character-heavy and action-packed as they are - of the famous 1975 film, even as it inevitably falls short of its clas…

The Time of Mendel's Trouble - Reviewed by ANDY PROPST

Anything would be better than this amateurish mess of paranoid political satire, which is the theatrical equivalent of a punishment from God.

Eh Joe / I'll Go On

Liam Neeson and Barry McGovern give indelible portraits in Lincoln Center Festival's productions of these Samuel Beckett works.

GO ON AND SEE BECKETT By FRANK SCHECK (*** 1/2)

I'll Go On
Review By SAM THIELMAN

"I'll Go On" is about as good as it gets, with McGovern wringing laughs from some of Samuel Beckett's bleakest passages.

Gate/Beckett: I'll Go On - Reviewed by ADAM R. PERLMAN

Barry McGovern is a masterful Beckett interpreter whose one-man show "I'll Go On" blends Beckett's words with George Carlin's comic timing. The laugh-till-you-hurt/hurt-till-you-laugh result is something either…

Around the World in 80 Days

Director Michael Evan Haney has five capable actors playing more than thirty roles in the globe-trotting yarn, as compactly adapted by Mark Brown at the Irish Rep.

Around the World in 80 Days - Reviewed by GWEN OREL

"Around the World in 80 Days" matches form and content brilliantly as five actors playing 39 roles perform Mark Brown's adaptation of Jules Verne's adventure story of a race against time around the globe. The s…

Courting Mae West - Reviewed by RONNI REICH

Courting Mae West would not be without its excitement, nor is LindaAnn Loschiavo's play of the same name. Yet though it has all the witty banter and innuendo that's expected, too many storylines, too much repet…

10-Speed Revolution - Reviewed by MARC MILLER

The cast has energy to spare, but John Heimbuch's violent, nihilistic comedy suffers from a bad case of ADD.

Interning - Reviewed by PAUL MENARD

The cast members do the best they can with the material, but Owusu's muddy script falls flat, especially under Rye Mullis' cartoonish direction.

"The Higher Education of Khalid Amir" takes off with a series of hilarious scenes and characters.

Scandal in Manhattan - Reviewed by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY

When broad comedy fails to catch fire, it can be hard to assess the reasons, but in this case a flaccid script and sloppy direction leave the cast adrift, forcing them to fill in unmotivated behavior and nonsen…

Those Whistling Lads!: The Poetry and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker - Reviewed by HARRY FORBES

Though the show is a little heavy on the exposition, Dorothy Parker's surefire material and an adept cast help the play, under Bricken Sparacino's direction, flow well, some rough patches notwithstanding.
