REVIEW: DF on The Hills of California at the Broadhurst Theatre

Jez Butterworth’s play wants to both shine a harsh light on nostalgia, and to bask in it.

Missy Mazzoli’s gorgeous score is the major takeaway here: a dazzling success in every way.

It’s a joy to see this great playwright equally at home as a screenwriter and director.

Lucy Kirkwood’s riveting and unsettling play is both fresh and a welcome return to old-school playmaking.

Opera took center stage on the final weekend of the Philadelphia Orchestra season.

This is the show that this season captured theater cognoscenti like no other.

This superb production by Curtis Opera Theatre would be a credit to any opera company anywhere.

Each successive version pushed the envelope further… and was less effective.

Eleanor Burgess’s insightful, moving play explores how the gospel should be spread.

This production delivers an intriguing mix of conceptual ideas that sometimes scores powerfully.
