What the press had to say.....

"Very imbalanced revival." & "Unfortunately no one else in this revival approaches Mr. Daniels’s level of complexity, including Ms. Linney, a wonderful actress who has been shoehorned into a part out of her natural range and is perceptibly pinched."
Ben Brantley
New York Times

"Director Rufus Norris ("Festen") keeps the intricate plot lines flowing, and his smart use of music (servants double as singers) adds texture and commentary. Though the story gets sluggish in the long first act, it gains momentum in the second half."
Joe Dziemianowicz
New York Daily News

"What is there not to like in "Les Liaisons Dangereuses"? As revived last night by the Roundabout, Christopher Hampton's play is sensual, oddly naughty and totally, impassively immoral."
Clive Barnes
New York Post

"The swank production that opened yesterday at the American Airlines Theatre presents a delectable adults-only treat."
Michael Sommers
Star-Ledger

"This Liaisons provides naughty, provocative fun."
Elysa Gardner
USA Today

"Too much ice and not enough warmth — eventually proves numbing."
Eric Grode
NY Sun

"The current New York revival, starring Laura Linney and Britain's Ben Daniels, allows this great dark flower of evil to almost fully bloom."
John Simon
Bloomberg

"Your appetite for decadence will govern your response to 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses.'" & "If you don't worry too much about holding onto the plot through all its twists and turns, you may enjoy this bath of French decadence, as seen through British eyes."
Jacques LeSourd
The Journal News

"'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' is a terrifically intelligent and powerful play, and this superb production allows the audience to experience it in its full dramatic glory."
Robert Feldberg
The Record

"Enormously entertaining production."
Michael Kuchwara
Associated Press

"The production well deserves an extension beyond its planned July closing date."
Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter

"In Roundabout's stylish Broadway revival, Hampton's pungent brew of aristocratic mores, salacious scandal, high culture and low innuendo proves resilient -- despite some heavy-handed directorial choices and one crucial piece of miscasting."
David Rooney
