REVIEW: Speaking to a Missed Opportunity — Greater Clements at Lincoln Center (for Parterre Box)

Judith Ivey offers a performance of raw, unflinching honesty across the story’s increasingly bleak three hours.

This musical is as manicured as the kind of Stepfordian society the material supposedly rails against.

A conceptual misstep frustratingly dilutes and distracts from an often rewarding musical performance.

Don’t miss this superb show, which returns for a run this December!

The great Amanda Schoonover makes the ordinary extraordinary.

It’s not difficult to make an audience weep. But artists have a responsibility to not overuse that power.

They came, saw, and conquered… and I hope they return soon.

The Berta (mezzo-soprano Emily Damasco) runs away with the show.

Seen here, this dated piece of earnest but intolerant realism seems almost a parody of itself.

After seven decades in show business, the legendary actress and comedienne still knows her way around a joke.
