Jerusalem is Exceptional Theatre, Apr 20, 2011 |
| reviewer: Michael Grant from Saratoga Springs, NY |
| Don't be confused by the title--it's not a play about Zionism. You'll find yourself lost for three crispy hours in an unwavering world of brutal and radiant humanity. Ian Rickson's direction feels natural and clean, but fully embedded with details and layers that made me want to see the show a second time and right away. The cheeky dialogue is cunning, hilarious and wrenching. Each moment of this play pulls at you, forcing you to question your own judgmental nature and moral compass while profound ideological battles rage. Mark Rylance attacks and embodies Byron with an astonishing ferociousness and sensitivity that will undoubtedly garner him further deserved awards. If the ten-minute standing ovation was any indication, this show will win a spate of Tony Awards and it will undoubtedly join the canons of unparalleled and memorable Broadway theater. Don't miss it.

Go NOW while you can still get tickets, Apr 24, 2011 |
| reviewer: C from New York |
| Rylance will win the Tony -- a truly unforgettable performance the likes of which you may not see again in your lifetime. The Music Box is a small house-- go NOW! |

You'll never see better!, Jun 07, 2011 |
| reviewer: Barbara from Rochester New York |
| Incredible theater experience (this comes from an old NY girl who went to school and worked in the city!) - Last minute first and second row seat, extreme right, for a party of six, turned out to be excellent. The performances, especially Mr. Rylance, were SUPERB! Memorable! Definitely not for kids. |

A Stellar Performance by Mark Rylance, Jun 06, 2011 |
| reviewer: Paul from Miami |
| Although some are apparently quibbling with the play itself, the performance by Mark Rylance is truly one for the ages, reminiscent of Olivier in The Entertainer. I don't know what the previous review was referencing, but at the matinee Saturday June 4th, the standing ovation was thunderous and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any serious theatre lover. |

Astonishing, Jun 22, 2011 |
| reviewer: Monilooch from New York |
| Francine is brain dead and doesn't belong in a theatre. Mark Rylance's artistry is beyond description. I have been very lucky to have seen the very finest the arts have to offer over the last 25 years and I have never ever heard or seen anything like the magic that man creates on stage. He is a force of nature and a true artistic genius. A word I never use unless is it absolutely warrented. DO NOT MISS IT. |
