THEATER REVIEW: In The Arsonists, Family Life from Fire to Embers

Jacqueline Goldfinger’s spellbinding new play honors centuries of theater in a voice that is distinctly her own.

There’s considerable accomplishment and comic virtuosity here in Marc Camoletti’s farce.

A fine cast, expert conducting, and beautiful designs are hallmarks of Opera Philadelphia’s production.

One of the three plot strands in Stef Smith’s sincere play is for the ages.

There are many wonderful things in Annie Baker’s new play, but it loses its way.

John Guare’s still-wonderful play deserves better than Trip Cullman’s glossy, shallow revival.

This amped-up version has its own rewards—especially in the marvelous Euan Morton.

What should be shocking and hilarious emerges here as kind of naughty and sort of funny.

One of the supreme classics of musical theater seen here in a brilliantly theatrical staging.

I would gladly have stayed on to see this gorgeous show a second time.
