Marvelous play. Janet McTeer gave best performance on stage I have ever seen. Absolutely sublime

Bernhardt, ...not so much. Janet McTeer shakes the four walls. A "study" more than a Broadway "Show." Try it; you could like it.

McTeer! McTeer! McTeer! BRAVA!!!

Want a post-graduate course in acting for the price of a ticket to a Broadway show? Want to see brilliance on the boards? Want to be dazzled by one of the greatest talents on the English-speaking stage? Run don't walk to see Janet McTeer in Bernhardt/Hamlet. You'll wish she had a more substantive vehicle and a director who paid more attention to the supporting cast....in fact, you'll probably wish you could see Janet McTeer as Hamlet! There are moments in this production when McTeer virtually becomes Hamlet and they are priceless - you'll press them in your theatrical memory book. The rest of the time, she IS the Divine Sarah, and that, too, will leave you breathless and grateful and, please note, LAUGHING! It's a small theater and we sat in the orchestra - don't know if there are bad seats in this house, but guarantee you there's great acting here!

McTeer's The Jewel in the Crown..scene 2

Janet McTeer CARRIES the entire weight of this 2 hour-long show. She has to prance and buckle and swash and prance and pretend to be a woman portraying a woman portraying a Prince of 500 years ago. A top tier actress ... she could accomplish that feat with great staging ... A ONE Wo MAN SHOW could be billed and performed as A ONE WoMAN SHOW. NOTEs: I saw Ham/Bern on Sept. 2 It may have got wiser... My seating in Mezz had perfect view of stage. Theater is lovely. 42nd St. is always lively, cheapy and yucky (for locals as we must nowadays deem ourselves). And I am 75 yrs old ... i have great hopes for Ms Hamlet/Bernhardt..

It's McTeers Show!

McTeer is AMAZING! Should be up for a Tony. The play so much. Could easily cut 1/2 hour from the 2 hours and 15 minutes. It's repetitive and pedantic at times. Wanted to love this one, but didn't.

...but the Crown lacks Lustre... Rostand, brilliant and dashing in life-- appears attired as an accountant (and acts like one as well). please... a scarf, a sequin, ...he could embrace her with one arm and steal her rapier ...step back and tease her as in a Cyrano parody... "Jeune homme..." This is Broadway into the 21st Century! please ...some BRIO ! Yorick could cough a plume of ash and speak, "...Ah,once beautiful Boy, a perfect Prince, we gamboled (..etc.) "NOW BECOME A MAN." We're playing at PLAYING Shakespeare here! Still ...as the woman in line at the bar said to me, "I could buy a ticket to hear McTeer read the phonebook." TouchE
