RECENTLY OPENED:

Macbeth

"[Director John] Doyle has smartly shaved down the script to an essential 100 minutes, with the action of each scene bleeding into the next so there is no dead air onstage…Rather than being the most modern figure onstage, Macbeth actually feels like the last man standing in the way of the steamroller of progress."

Mare Winningham

"A night being sung to by Mare Winningham is a salve for the soul — not to mention a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear Nirvana's 'All Apologies' arranged for dulcimer. And they say you can't make folk cool." Read Hayley Levitt's full review here.

Molly Sweeney

"…[Q]uietly powerful…[Pamela] Sabaugh's Molly…convey[s] a sense of wilting defeat in her face as she shows a desire to retreat into the sightless world that she once knew and retrieve the rich, fulfilling experiences that her other senses rewarded her with all along."

Seared

"Even if you know nothing about the restaurant business, you'll recognize the characters [playwright Theresa] Rebeck is putting onstage. In her blunt, entertaining, thoroughly hilarious way, she makes one thing clear: Not one of them is irreplaceable." Read Zachary Stewart's full review here.

CLOSING SOON:

Queen of Hearts

"Featuring a seemingly endless cavalcade of classy burlesque acts and scandalous comedy routines that will appeal to adults of every sexual persuasion, Queen of Hearts is the best date-night show in New York City right now." Read Pete Hempstead's full review here.
