News Desk, October 26th, 2018Now playing At The John Golden Theater
Elaine May makes her first Broadway return since her debut in 1960 in John Lonergan's The Waverly Gallery. With a cast that also features Michael Cera and Lucas Hedge's, what did the critics think?
Deadline was full of praise calling The Waverly Gallery 'A vital comic drama that dares us to laugh before delivering the gut punch'. Time Out was full of praise for star of the show, May, saying 'She is funny and warm and she's familiar'.
The Chicago Tribue were full of praise for the production saying 'One of the most beautiful things you'll ever see in a Broadway theater and one of the most profoundly sad'. The Washington Post mirrored the sentiment saying, 'Longergan's ear for the crosscurrents of love and recrimination is as fine as that of any American dramatist. His skill gets a useful workout in 'The Waverly Gallery', which may be his richest play, emotionally speaking'.
The Waverly Gallery stars Elaine May, Lucas Hedges, Michael Cera, Joan Allen and David Cromer.
The Waverly Gallery is now playing at the John Golden Theater through to January 27.
