Philadelphia

REVIEW: At Quintessence, Oliver!, Twisted

Director Alexander Burns’ sometimes imaginative rethinking cannot redeem Lionel Bart’s awful musical.

Singing doesn’t get better than this.

Ensemble coordination is this production’s greatest achievement, along with some fine individual contributions.

A mixed bag of a production, but some singing of significant promise.

This frantic, antic production doesn’t illuminate Anne Washburn’s poignant satire.

Yet Kenneth Lonergan’s often powerful play seems oblivious to its own sense of privilege.

Both play and production are honorable but flawed, though signs are positive for the Philadelphia Theatre Company.

Curio’s homerun production breathes new life into a turgid melodrama.

Dominique Morisseau’s meaty, thought-provoking play gets a terrific production at McCarter.

This tale of terminally unpopular British teenagers feels like a 22-minute sitcom stretched to two hours.
