The Iceman Cometh Reviews

UNEVEN PERFORMANCE

Poor acoustics in the theater made it difficult to hear at times. Cast was very good overall, and Washington was terrific—however, it was clear that many in the audience were only interested in seeing him, as they talked loudly (and used their phones) when he was offstage and even left once his part was over.

LONG

The theater was terrible, it's a old theater and lots of steps, the seats are small and tight and they did not try to accommodated you if you were taller than 5 feet or if you had a little weight to you. I am 5 feet and I had No leg room, my leg cramped because I could not stretch. Left the show 2 hours in was unable to endure any more. The actors were all over the place many times unable to understand them. I was almost like they were acting for themselves because I could not hear them and they seem to not be able to project. If you are tall or have a little size to you don't bother you will be uncomfortable , seats are too close together and no leg room at all. Lots of steps to bathroom. Staff not helpful or friendly.

A MADE FOR TV PRODUCTION

I saw Jason Robards do this play many years ago and it was terrific. This production seems to be directed as a TV movie of the week with bright colorful costumes and cute hookers...not at all what O'Neill imagined. Denzel does a great job depite all of this.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

The theater is very uncomfortable. Not good since this play is almost 4 hours long! The actors are hard to understand. Bad acoustics? Period language is difficult to comprehend. Many actors spoke very quickly. I thought it was boring and it did not hold my attention. I noticed many people sleeping in the audience. Many more left during the first intermission. Mr. Washington looked terrible and could not salvage this production for me. I was very disappointed, overall. Sorry I spent big bucks on a play that did not deliver, even given its 3 hour 50 minute running time to do so! WAY too long!! I would not recommend this play. However, if you buy tickets, avoid side seats in the orchestra. My view of the stage was poor given my angle. Also, two large people sat in front of me. They obstructed my view, considerably. I was very upset given the price I paid. I was in row D, seat 6 in the side orchestra. Seats are very narrow. Too bad such a great cast is wasted in this production!

GREAT CAST WASTED ON A POOR PRODUCTION.

In a nutshell too long, repetitive dialog, lack luster set and well, just boring. What a waste of a great cast. Using Denzel to attract an audience and than force feeding them a poor ass production is what you get here. All the silk hats in the world wont dress up this pig. Stay home don't waste your time. Oh, and probably the worst customer experience i have ever had at a Broadway show. Theater personnel just plain rude and the theater is jut ill equipped to handle the four hours of boredom that was created by the production. Are refunds available!! LOL!!

WORST PLAY EVER!

The cast rushed their lines making the dialogue incomprehensible. There was no life to the performance . Denzil was fine but could not save an otherwise just plain awful show. Strong words yes, but I am telling you DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I left after the first intermission.

ICEMAN COMETH

My friend and I went 3/23. Most of the dialog was not too clear the only one who spoke clearly was Denzel, he was great. The discussions were all over the place, again most of it gobbled, It was tooo long and three int6ermissions, ridiculous.
