'The Cherry Orchard' Off-Broadway review — an indie spin on a Chekhov classic | New York Theatre Guide
By Amelia Merrill Verified| New York Theatre Guide@ Benedict Andrews is the first to admit Anton Chekhov is having a moment. The adapter and director of The Cherry Orchard, first seen at London's Donmar Warehouse and now running at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, is competing with, among others, the Andrew Scott-led Vanya a few subway stops away.
'Glengarry Glen Ross' review — starry revival plays like an ordinary day at the office | New York Theatre Guide
By Amelia Merrill Verified| New York Theatre Guide@ In a star-studded Broadway revival, name recognition should be the key to success. Glengarry Glen Ross coasts by: It assumes you’ve heard of the play, you’ve heard of David Mamet, and you’ve seen the actors — Succession's Kieran Culkin, Breaking Bad's Bob Odenkirk, and comedian Bill Burr are the marquee stars — on your TV. Director Patrick Marber’s production, now running at the Palace Theatre, relies too obviously on such conceits to get you in the door and laughing along.
By Amelia Merrill Verified| New York Theatre Guide@ There is little separation of art from artist in theatre, which is fitting for Last Call, a new play by Peter Danish at New World Stages. No one seized on this phenomenon better than Leonard Bernstein, the virtuoso American conductor and composer whose achievements in classical music were matched by his in popular culture; perhaps no one understood the pitfalls quite like Herbert von Karajan, the Austrian conductor pilloried for his association with Nazism at the beginning of his career.
