 If you are used to a polite audience, AVOID this play, Apr 25, 2010 |
| reviewer: Claire from NY, NY |
| I was seated next to a woman who commented outloud after almost every sentence of the play. Finally, at the beginning of he intermission, I asked her politely to refrain from doing so. She responded, "Did you buy my ticket? I can do whatever I want." Then she called me an ---hole. At that point, I went to find an usher, then spoke to the "Theatre Manager," Joseph Traina. He OFFERED and promised to move this woman and her companion to different seats, for which I was grateful. However, at the very last minute, this couple returned to the seats next to me. I went back to see the theater manager, who then said he would move US to different seats (there were no good available seats -- mind you, we had paid premium for our tickets!) The woman said she talks "like this all the time during church" and the play "isn't an opera!" I followed up the next day with Mr. Traina's supervisor, Mary B. @ Shubert, which runs the theater. They do not care & will not remedy the problem. |

 OMG!!! Loved it, loved it, loved it!!, May 06, 2010 |
| reviewer: Tracey Boyd from West Orange, NJ |
| Exceptional performance by Denzel Washington and Ms. Viola Davis was right on his heels. Denzel you are just a gift from God. God has given you a talent and you have truly multiplied it. Ms. Davis it seems no matter what role you play, your presence is so strong that we take notice. Mykelti Williamson you were magnificent as "Gabe" looking forward to seeing you on stage as well as the movies. Stephen McKinley Henderson, you played such a familiar character, I thought you were one of my uncles. LOL Be blessed!!! |

Denzel Is Fantastic, Apr 18, 2010 |
| reviewer: Raymond Emmett Rice from Queens, NY |
| I saw the play, and Denzel brought me to tears. I am so glad that we have such an amazing American actor in Denzel Washington. Russell Hornsby, Mykelti Williamson, and the other actor were simply fantastic! __________________ |

Wonderful, Apr 18, 2010 |
| reviewer: Marilyn from NYC, USA |
| I saw Fences today and I was absolutely blown away. Denzel is such a great actor. I enjoyed the story line very much. Viola Davis was very good as well. The whole cast was excellent. I am glad that were getting a chance to see Denzel live; it is one thing to see him on the Big Screen. But it is just great to get to see his talent live and in person. I am so sorry that we did not get a whole lot of plays by August Wilson. He was such a great play writer. And the era that he takes you to is great. I love the 1950’s time frame. This is a must see play. |
