"…Hercules…makes a great musical… The best part is that the show has a sense of humor about itself, something that you can't always say for Disney musicals, which generally seem to take themselves extremely seriously." Read David Gordon's full review here.

"At its worst, a bio-musical…can feel like a self-serving memoir attempting to whitewash the human failings of its subject. At its best, it explores those human failings and attempts to show how they informed the music. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical…undeniably falls into the latter group."

"Telling the story of a small Canadian town that took in 38 diverted planes and their passengers after the FAA shut down American airspace, Come From Away is a beguiling portrayal of human kindness in the face of the worst horror imaginable — and a show that everybody needs to see." Read David Gordon's full review here.

"Despite valiant attempts by [Tom] Sturridge, Sea Wall is almost completely mirthless, which makes sense considering its subject matter. Thankfully, A Life has plenty of laughs — and [Jake] Gyllenhaal knows how to deliver them." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.
