| 13
13 is a smart, fun look at the joys and agonies of growing up. It should provide plenty of employment for kids both on Broadway and on tour.

| The Seagull
Unfortunately, Peter Sarsgaard, an American addition to the cast, seems bored by both the stunning Kristin Scott Thomas and Carey Mulligan's enchanting Nina.
|
|
| Equus
How wrong-headed it would be for this brooding, marvelous play and this revival's gifted lead actors to be viewed on anything but their own well-deserved terms.
| |
|
| A Tale of Two Cities
If you somehow missed Les Misérables during either its original 16-year Broadway run or recent revival engagement, you need look no further than Jill Santoriello's syrupy musical version of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

| Wig Out!
What a glamfest! Fashion, passion, and excitement illuminate the catwalk during the drag ball scenes of Tarell Alvin McCraney's Wig Out!.

|
| Room to Panic
Federico Restrepo's Room to Panic is a swirling, often melancholy look at assimilation. I enjoyed the puppets, but found the production lacking.

Richard III
As portrayed by Anatol Yusef for the Frog & Peach Theatre Company, Shakespeare's Richard III is not only a malevolent schemer but also a superlative actor.

I Come for Love
When an alien lands in Roswell, the first thing it does is throw its arms around a flat-footed, lovelorn adolescent. This is the effect of much of I Come for Love.

The Fancy Boys Follies
David Pevsner, author of most of The Fancy Boys Follies, starred in Howard Crabtree's When Pigs Fly, an award-winning gay revue from 1996.

Eureka!
If you're up to huddling, hugging and generally intermingling with actors and fellow audience members, the show provides a poetic, energized exploration of the universe.

|
| Cyclone and the Pig-Faced Lady
Any musical that rhymes coup d'état with Wonderbra has something going for it, but this fantasy works better as a live-action cartoon.
