This brilliantly acted small-stage revival of the Pulitzer Prize winner's Broadway play dives into the culture of machismo and finds answers elusive.

This musical-in-progress about a legendary New York City innovator and force of nature – who isn't Alexander Hamilton – shows a lot of promise.

Devised by playwright Patricia Lynn and director Geordie Broadwater, this hybrid or mutant entertainment is told in old-style cinematic fashion, but updated storywise to the present day, while hewing largely to the plot of the original novel. I found its curiosities just right for Halloween season.

Keen Company's production of the 'Rent' auteur's rarely-performed early musical is just plain great. An all-around skillful team does right by the show's simple, focussed story, letting its sincerity and real-life evocativeness shine.

Though flawed, this workshop production by New York Shakespeare Exchange of Kevin Brewer's new stage adaptation of Shakespeare's long poem offers extremely impressive writing, skillful direction by Cristina Lundy, and some superb performances.

Playwright David Stallings's potentially gimmicky concept, directed by Antonio Minino with equal parts gravitas and wit, flowers into a richly imagined garden of passions, philosophy, and humor.

Twenty years from now, where will you be? This beautifully rendered production's concision and acutely threaded authenticity are a breath of fresh air.

It's not the details of the preposterous plot that make it work; it's the skillful way Goldsmith wove them together and his sly, fluid way with dialogue. And it's not any of these fine performances individually that galvanize this revival; it's the brightly colored vision saddled up by the director and the gifted creative team, and the gusto with which the actors take the reins.

'Edith Piaf is unique, singular. If you try to imitate or mimic Piaf? It’s not possible. But if Anne tries to fulfill Edith Piaf with her soul, she can reach people because she is herself.'

Radiotheatre's rotating series featured "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Horror at the Museum" at last night's show.
