Review:  Girl, Interrupted - There are techniques one can get away with in a 168 p. memoir that are trickier to pull off in a 2-hour musical. https://t.co/3LusOxqWf0

Review:  "The People Versus Lenny Bruce"  Disorder in the court. https://t.co/PhHsWeAmED

Review: Specimen. In space, no one can hear you scream. But with this cast it's not for lack of trying. https://t.co/rH7pfDlXlG

[Stanford Friedman @BroadwayCrit]

Review: Calf Scramble. The animalism of humans jumbled with the humanity of animals. If, at times, Carr lays on the symbolism with a heavy hoof, one must remember that the play is set in Texas, where everything is bigger, including the metaphors. https://t.co/pYaet6M5Ri

Review: Gruesome Playground Injuries: a slice-of-life one-act with the emphasis on slice   https://t.co/38LIKFRVh6

Review: The Seat of Our Pants. Like an optometrist switching between lenses, Wilder/Lipton, test the audience’s vision by continually widening and narrowing the play’s apocalyptic focus. https://t.co/zvLeQBEgHp

[Stanford Friedman @BroadwayCrit]

Review: The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire. Can a solid cast hold together a play which is built to come apart? https://t.co/ffpiI9qJv4

Review: Confident productions succeed by taking risks. BEAU: THE MUSICAL, an energetic, often touching one-act is a case in point. https://t.co/qStSLPhFt0
