☆ ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Review: Alicia Keys’s Musical Coming of Age
  + stars: | 2023-11-23 | by ( Charles Isherwood | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Chris Lee and Maleah Joi Moon Photo: Joan MarcusNew York‘This girl is on fire,” sings the ensemble in a jubilant high point of “Hell’s Kitchen,” a new musical drawing on the catalog of the R&B singer-songwriter Alicia Keys . The song celebrates a turning point in the life of the heroine, a 17-year-old based on the younger Ms. Keys. But the lyrics might equally apply to Maleah Joi Moon , whose incandescent performance in the central role of Ali, as the Keys character is called, provides the show with a blazing heart—and a voice with its own thrilling firepower, virtually an equal of Ms. Keys’s own superlative instrument.

☆ ‘I Need That’ Review: Danny DeVito in Denial

Danny DeVito Photo: Joan MarcusThe national pastime—I refer not to baseball, but to the acquisition of too much stuff and the refusal to get rid of a single dog-eared book, worn pair of shoes or old Playbill, as if life weren’t worth living without each—comes under sympathetic scrutiny in “I Need That,” a modest but likable, sentiment-spritzed comedy by Theresa Rebeck , on Broadway in a Roundabout Theatre Company production.

☆ ‘New York, New York’ Review: A Musical of City Striving
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Charles Isherwood | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The company of ‘New York, New York’ Photo: Paul KolnikThe Broadway musical “New York, New York,” set in the heady days after the end of World War II, is an unabashedly rhapsodic love letter to the city. It embraces with a big bear hug—one that contemporary dwellers would probably recoil from, speaking literally—the image of New York as the fabled dream-chasing capital of the world, a notion immortalized in the title song. New York, New York St. James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St., New York $59-$279, 888-985-9421The show is very loosely based on the stylized 1977 Martin Scorsese movie of the same title. The looser the better. The movie is turgid and almost unwatchable today, primarily due to the repellent behavior of Robert De Niro ’s character—he’s basically a saxophone-playing Travis Bickle from “Taxi Driver,” minus the charm.
☆ ‘Life of Pi’ Review: Bringing the Sea to Broadway
  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Charles Isherwood | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New YorkYann Martel ’s much-cherished novel “Life of Pi” might appear impossible to bring to the stage, or at least to present herculean challenges. With its fantastical tale of a teenage boy adrift at sea for more than 200 days, his only company an injured zebra, an orangutan and, more dangerously, a hyena and a tiger, the novel would seem to elude the embrace of stagecraft. Film, with its arsenal of special effects, makes a more natural medium for such a book’s translation, and Ang Lee has already made a popular movie version of it.
☆ ‘Sweeney Todd’ Review: Josh Groban’s Boyish Demon Barber
  + stars: | 2023-03-27 | by ( Charles Isherwood | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
New YorkThe new Broadway revival of “Sweeney Todd,” the ghoulish marvel of a musical comedy that may represent the greatest achievement of composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim , reaches a deliriously mad peak just when it should, as the bloodlust of the title character, played by the pop phenomenon Josh Groban , unites with the desperate pragmatism of the pie-making Mrs. Lovett, embodied with hilarious zest by Annaleigh Ashford .

☆ ‘This Beautiful Future’ Review: A Troubling World War II Romance
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Charles Isherwood | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
What at first blush appears to be a swoony World War II romance about a soldier and a civilian grasping for a last chance at pleasure quickly evolves into something darker and stranger in “This Beautiful Future,” a drama by Rita Kalnejais that has returned for a limited run at the Cherry Lane Theatre after its New York debut earlier this year.
