Jordan Tyson and John Cardoza in ‘The Notebook’ on Broadway Photo by Julieta Cervantes Reviews are in for The Notebook and critics were universally underwhelmed by the production despite its fine cast and creative team. Featuring repetitive music, actors in and out before you can connect with them, and a pared down script, nostalgic fans will still weep and love the new musical, but more for the story it’s telling than for its storytelling. New York Times Review of The Notebook Romantic musicals are as personal as romance itself. What makes you sigh and weep may leave the person next to you bo ..read more

Though Barry Manilow’s music is largely successful and the performances from Chip Zien and the young talent featured onstage are wonderful, Sussman’s thin story about these forgotten men doesn’t quite lift the show to the levels of those others. New York Times Review of Harmony But the version of “Harmony” that opened on Monday at the Ethel Barrymore Theat ..read more

Photo Credit: Sara Krulwich/The New York Times The reviews for Gutenberg! The Musical are mostly positive, thanks in no small part to the immeasurable talent of Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad, reunited on Broadway for the first time since Book of Mormon. The show itself is silly, the songs intentionally terrible, and the props and set dressed down as can be, but with these boys on board, who cares!? Grab your hat and enjoy this two-hander at the James Earl Jones Theatre while you can. New York Times Review of Gutenberg! The Musical I know we could all use a good laugh nowadays. But would you set ..read more
