What is theatre for as seen on Broadway yet again
A critic weighs Broadway productions in a pointed review, arguing that Butley on Broadway fails to deliver a coherent dramatic lesson beyond Alan Bates’s superior performance, while Pippin remains slick yet hollow under Bob Fosse. LADY DAY at BAM offers uneven but moving moments despite libretto flaws, with strong performances from Roger Robinson and Cecilia Norfleet. The piece ends by musing on theatre’s purpose and art.
