DENZEL is always in a class by himself.
Appreciated the labor and hard work he
provided. It was appreciated. He can bring
life to any character. Denzel played a
character but a little of him shined through.
Great mix. Great job DENZEL. That being
said. The female characters did not add any
value to the play what-so-ever. The other
male characters did a great job but it was
difficult to understand the exaggerated
language. The only person I understood was
DENZEL. The play is way too long. When you
are waiting to see Denzel time seems to stand
still because the other scenes are not meaty
or entertaining enough to keep my interest. A
good play should be no longer than 2 1/2
hours. The theatre is intimate but
uncomfortable. Make no mistake, Denzel is
the reason for a sold out show. Not to single
anyone out but I think Denzel should have
come out one last time to greet his audience.

SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS
Eugene ONeill doesnt kid around. He dares to show the poverty, misery and hopelessness
of that era. Life is as it is pointless and always fails but to see the characters and their
struggle with their dreams and how even though poor and alcoholic find solace in their
community of others and life keeps going, day after day, is moving to say the least. Until
Denzel in a powerful, explosive, dynamite, performance awakens them to their fears and
traumas and they all momentarily see their traumas but these are too harsh to grapple
with, therefore, drinking it is. Denzel, however, faced his traumas, and he was forced to
take action which has repercussions. Dilemma still exists, to be or not to be. And how to
be. Acting is superb by most of the actors. Take a snack with you and get water in the
theater before you start because lines are too long in the intermission and there is no
time to serve everyone. Prepare for a an emotional roller coaster which will send you high!

MAN, A LOT OF IDIOTS GO TO THE THEATER TO SEE MOVIE STARS
And miss one of the greatest plays ever written.
I was excited to see Denzel, but just as much to see Morse,
Meany, Irwin, and the others, and frankly, my impression was
that most of them were more seasoned stage actors than Mr.
Washington, who had some problems projecting. But he
delivered big with the famous lengthy monologue at the end.
Not as great as Jason Robards (who I saw play Hickey in '85),
but he beat Kevin Spacey hands down.
Wolfe's staging is quietly innovative. There are points where
it's a bit rushed, because of the play's length--often a problem
with Iceman.
Contrary to what the idiots say, people were laughing at all
the right parts, and never at the wrong ones. The entire cast
got a standing ovation from the packed house at the end,
well-merited.
I really don't know what to say to somebody so vapid who
would see this brilliant production about the delusions and
vanities of humankind and think only "Why didn't Denzel stick
around to sign my Playbill?"

DENZEL THE SAVIOR
Otherwise a go to sleep depressing
performance. And the Theatre is a fire
Trap....very claustrophobic...Thankfully I never
had a chance to spend $8 for a bottle of water
as lines were too long because waiting area
too small.... however it is getting five stars
because Denzel delivered as expected and is a
force whether on stage or behind the screen!!!

DEMANDING PLAY; BAD VENUE
CONS:
- I am 5'8" and if I didn't have an aisle seat to
occassionally stretch my legs I do not think I
would have made it through the entire 4
hour play. Seats are TIGHT.
- Acoustics are shockingly bad making it very
difficult to understand some dialogue. There
are headphones to rent, though.
PPL: Turn off your phones, including text
message beeps, please. Do not take photos.
Act like you have been to a theater before.
PROS:
- Acting was superb. His name escapes me
but the actor playing the former anarchist
(the older one from St Elsewhere) was very
good as was the father from The Fighter. I
think the ensemble as a whole was
spectacular. Very good acting. I enjoyed Mr.
Washington immensely although I got a
"Training Day" vibe in a couple of scenes
which didn't really fit.
Stephen Bishop from Chicago, IL
A MOST EXCELLENT ENSEMBLE
A very nice evening of fine acting. Absolutely loved the ensemble's character work. Each actor had it all carved out nicely. Honestly, I was not impressed with Denzel so much. I felt he really missed a pivotal character transition in the truth scene. He just seemed to skim over it, or just ran out of steam or interest. It's a difficult role, but I don't think he has the chops to play it. Otherwise, the others brought the play home on their shoulders. Make sure you eat at Sangria 46 before or after. Fabulous eats.

GREAT SHOW
My Husband and I saw the show on 3/26..I
didn't have any of the problems the previous
reviews had.. Denzel was amazing. The rest
of the cast was awesome..It is long but I
knew that going in...Great Show..

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.
Dianne Fox from New York, New York
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!
Mike from New York, New York
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!!
C McGivney from New York, New York
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.
Donna Philcox from New York, New York
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.
Judy Lassek from East Islip, New York
AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL.
So very disappointed in this production. It was like
watching a high school play. Repeatitive dialogue,
terrible audio and much too long. Theater personnel
acted like they were doing you a favor. Not very
friendly. The icing on the cake was that Mr.
Washington never came out to greet his fans. Would
not recommend to anyone!
Denzel is superb... – brilliant, captivating, and undeniably committed to this energy-sapping role!
Woes and whiskey have always been good friends, proven by the misfits in Eugene O'Neill's play The Iceman Cometh. As these men wallow at the bottom of the barrel in Harry Hope's bar they reminisce about the days gone by and dream hopefully of a better t
