THEATER REVIEW: Jack O’Brien’s The Front Page Is a Journey in Lost Style

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.

This darkly comic fable at Inis Nua packs an initial punch. Too bad it goes on too long.

Matthew Lopez’s middle-of-the-road comedy doesn’t get below the surface sparkle.

The Wilma Theater’s visually stunning production doesn’t always serve Andrew Bovell’s play.

InterAct’s elegant but bare-bones production rarely achieves lift-off.
