NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATRE FESTIVAL

at various venues

WE HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE AND...

A rundown of the glorious hits and misses at this season's NYMF.

Reviewed by: SANDY MACDONALD

FINIAN'S RAINBOW

at the St. James

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?

This revived musical sparkles and glistens with the same magic it had 60 years ago, if not more.

Reviewed by: MERVYN ROTHSTEIN

BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS

at the Nederlander

PORTRAIT OF THE WRITER AS A YOUNG MAN

This revival of Brighton Beach Memoirs is not very theatrical, certainly not diverting or very involving.

Reviewed by: JOANNE KAUFMAN

MEMPHIS

at the Shubert

A LONG TIME COMING...SO WHAT

Memphis throws the kitchen sink, and it lands with a dull thud.

AFTER MISS JULIE

at American Airlines Theatre

BELOW THE SALT

This update builds on the strength of the original, adding contemporary language and sexual politics.

Reviewed by: PATRICK LEE

BYE BYE BIRDIE

at Henry Miller’s Theatre

PUT ON A HAPPY FACE...PLEASE

There are a number of pluses to this revival of Bye Bye Birdie. It has a bright look that suits the musical's upbeat spiirit. And the songs still sound peppy. Too bad a couple of misguided casting choices put a damper on the evening.

OLEANNA

at the Golden Theatre

HE SAID, SHE SAID

This Mamet two-hander thrives on speed, intensity, and psychological subtlety.

Reviewed by: MATT WINDMAN

HAMLET

at the Broadhurst

SLINGS AND ARROWS

Jude Law gives an impressive performance in the title role. Too bad, that can't be said of the performers surrounding him.

Reviewed by: STUART MILLER

THE ROYAL FAMILY

at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

The play may drag at times, but the radiant cast provides plenty of moments of good-old Broadway pizazz.

Reviewed by: BILL STEVENSON

THE BREATH OF LIFE

at the Westport Country Playhouse

BIG TALK, ALL TALK

If you have tickets for The Breath of Life, be ready for some dialogue.
