THEATER REVIEW: 11th Hour’s Lizzie Takes a Fresh Whack at a Legendary Story

Some effective moments and good performances here, but not much new insight into Lizzie Borden

Laughs are plentiful in the Walnut Street production. But is it really funny?

What the diva does in this mixed-bag revival is star-lit and memorable. But is it acting?

In a kitchen in Rhinebeck, ordinary and extraordinary life transpires in Richard Nelson’s magnificent trilogy.

This high-budget, high-energy production is entertaining but rarely more. Why not?

After the battering year we’ve had, the sweet hopefulness of the show could not be more welcome.

In Josie Rourke’s entertaining revival, archness is the peril that lies ahead.

This high-energy musical at PTC has appealing moments alongside off-putting ones.

You will see no more delightful show, nor a better lesson in stagecraft, this season.

This over-devised adaptation of The Brothers Karamazov sinks under its own weight.
