What the press had to say.....
"A well-acted revival." & "It’s the commitment and enthusiasm of Mr. Macdonald’s cast that continue to hold your attention. How often, after all, do you get to watch this many actresses at this level of talent sharing a single stage, a meaty subject and the chance to flex underused theatrical muscles?"
Ben Brantley
New York Times
"Though the play is overly talky and circuitous, incisive performances by seven actresses in the Manhattan Theatre Club production make it a fine final entry to the 2007-08 Broadway season."
Joe Dziemianowicz
New York Daily News
"It's a provocative play, one that - 26 years later - makes one think and think again."
Clive Barnes
New York Post
"Mostly tackling several roles, expert players spark the drama with striking performances." & "Still. Something vital is missing from James Macdonald's production, which gets flat toward the conclusion. Possibly the message's impact has lessened over 25 years. Maybe the relatively intimate piece doesn't suit a Broadway house."
Michael Sommers
Star-Ledger
"Other than briefly in the first act, which goes on too long, "Top Girls" is never boring. Its style trumps its substance."
Robert Feldberg
The Record
"A top-notch company of actresses for its compelling revival of what is one of Churchill's most intellectually bracing plays."
Michael Kuchwara
Associated Press
"It's a mark of the spiky brilliance of "Top Girls" that regardless of having previously seen or read the 1982 play, deciphering its cryptographic mosaic of narrative, themes, structure and style is still a bracing challenge." & "while the play remains inextricably keyed into the zeitgeist of Thatcher's Britain, its originality is undiminished in MTC's incisively acted Broadway production."
