Thurgood is a riveting one-hander about Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American to serve on the Supreme Court. Lawrence Fishbourne gives a towering performance as the powerful justice.

The gamesmanship of love is given a full workout in this splendid revival of Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

The actors are the reason to see The New Century, namely Linda Lavin (shown), Peter Bartlett and Jayne Houdyshell, in this bit of fluff by Paul Rudnick.

Paul Rudnick's The New Century is a warm, witty comedy...that celebrates those forebears that made contemporary urban gay life possible.

Cry-Baby may not be another Hairspray, but it's still fun. Credit some good songs, a winning cast and sexy choreography for the spell it weaves.

The Walworth Farce is utterly original and nearly always unpredictable. The play is alternately funny and frightening.

Smart casting has NYCO audiences humming the values of this production of Candide.

Jenny Schwartz's God's Ear makes arresting use of language. It's definitely inventive, if at times irritating.

In its move to Broadway ( from BAM), Macbeth has lost none of its power and grandeur. If possible, Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood, have gotten even better.
