 Wonderful..., Sep 25, 2010 |
| reviewer: M. Piazza from Brooklyn, NY |
| Wow. Um...I...couldn't disagree more with the reviews thus far on this page. Stellar performances, smart production and direction...so much better than the original production. The play itself is fantastic; the best play / performances / production I've seen on Broadway in a long time. If your coming to see celebs, than yes you are wasting your time, money, hotel room. However, if you're coming to see famous people on broadway, perhaps you should stick around to the end of the play and absorb its message into your thick skulls, and then (maybe) we'd have less garbage calling itself theater on broadway. |

Simply brilliant, Oct 03, 2010 |
| reviewer: Eric from Melbourne Australia |
| Yes, you have to like theatre to like this show. No, if you are there to see the TV stars do something familiar, or have an all-singing all-dancing special effects spectacular, you won't be happy. So that's fine, go see Cats again. Really: to those reviewers who didn't like this, I say: you didn't get it. Honestly, complaining about a lack of set changes...? Not all Broadway is Wicked you know. Rylance is one of the finest actors of his generation and here is in virtuoso form, and the others do a fine job of providing things for him to bounce off, the verse dialogue is ingenious and brilliantly delivered, and if I'd been in New York three more nights I would have seen it three more times. So: if you love theatre, rather than Broadway, you will love this play. If you want cheese and helicopters, there's always Miss Saigon. |

Excellent, thoughtful, smart, Sep 30, 2010 |
| reviewer: April black from NYC |
| I just got home from seing this play. It was enjoyable and so entertaining. All of the performances were excellent, especially that of Mark Rylance, so natural and flowing and the way the play is written to rhyme is great & surprisingly easy to follow. Great message too. |

MARK RYLANCE!!!, Oct 01, 2010 |
| reviewer: SOLEDAD from Germany |
| La Bête is an absolute rarity: an american comedy a la Moliere, playing in 1654 in France, and in verse. The play is a true festival of geniousity and talent and is profounder as it seems. Mixing extrem vulgarity with extrem rafinesse. Rylance brights in all Valere´s registers: an excessive character, egotistical, vulgar, pompous, showy and insensitiv beast: La bete It was worth to be one week in NYC only to see him! |
