WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Roundabout Theatre Company presents a new Broadway production of Pal Joey, featuring music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart. This production features a new book by Richard Greenberg, based on the original book by John O'Hara, with music direction by Paul Gemignani, and choreography by Graciela Daniele. Joe Mantello directs.
Set in Chicago in the late 1930s, Pal Joey is the story of Joey Evans, a brash, scheming song and dance man with dreams of owning his own nightclub. Joey abandons his wholesome girlfriend Linda English, to charm a rich, married older woman, Vera Simpson, in the hope that she'll set him up in business.
The score includes such classic songs as "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," "I Could Write a Book," "You Mustn't Kick It Around," and "Zip," among others. The new production also features "I'm Talking to My Pal," a song that had been dropped from the score during its out-of-town tryout, and will be heard on Broadway for the first time.

Pal Joey is Terrible
A boring, miscast mess. Even the beautiful music doesnt save it.

Pal Joey
I went in thinking it was going to be really good, but I was disappointed. I wouldnt call it bad, but it definitely wasnt good. I was expecting it to be more like the movie, which it wasnt at all. I found Joey to be a very unlikeable character and I was waiting the whole show to hear "The Lady is a Tramp" and they didnt do it.

If anyone is putting a song across better on Broadway right now than Stockard Channing as she explores the tarnished heart of the great Lorenz Hart-Richard Rodgers number "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," in the Roundabout's Theatre Company's highly entertaining revival of Pal Joey at Studio 54, I don't know about it. This moment of musical-comedy bravura occurs late in the first act when rich, bored Vera Simpson -- whom Channing embodies with Vogue-cover chic in William Ivey Long's stunning costumes -- wakes up next to the title heel that she's taken into her bed and is coming to understand why. It's a moment you won't forget.
Despite her adequate but not overwhelming voice, Channing'[...]
