“Timely, sharp, and powerfully relevant female empowerment”
Audiences are raving about this revival of Wendy Wasserstein's classic, praising its remarkable relevance to today's conversations about women in politics and society. The stellar cast delivers outsta...
While there were several wonderful performances, I could not get past the lead actress's distractingly bad performance. It was somehow both over and under acted, and just overall unnatural to how an actual person is. Most of the rest of the cast was wonderful and the set design was very fun to look at.
It’s a relevant and interesting story with mostly capable actors. Unfortunately the leading lady is not up to the challenge of her role and the production suffers because of it. Piel & Dakin are stand-outs.
The first act was good, second seemed rushed and like a rough draft. Mics weren’t great and it was difficult to hear sometimes
