SHUFFLIN' OFF TO BUFFALO
BUFFALO GAL
at Primary Stages at 59E59 Theaters

SHUFFLIN' OFF TO BUFFALO
A.R Gurney's Buffalo Gal offers up a "juicy role" for Susan Sullivan, but the other characters in this Chekhovian lookalike are not very interesting .

WHAT A PIECE OF WORK...
HAIR
at Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte

WHAT A PIECE OF WORK...
While the physical elements of Hair -the long hair and flower-power costumes-may come across as dated, it's antiwar message resonates with all the power it did in the Vietnam era.

LONG HOT SUMMER
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
at the Music Box

LONG HOT SUMMER
The award-winning August: Osage County has some new players, including Estelle Parsons and Frank Wood.  But audiences needn't worry:  the show doesn't miss a beat.

MORE TIME NEEDED
THE UNDERSTUDY
at Williamstown Theatre Festival

MORE TIME NEEDED
Theresa Rebeck's latest project, touching on the theatre world's lowest form of life, could use some retooling still, it's a hoot.

A SHOW ABOUT A SHOW ABOUT...
[TITLE OF SHOW]
at the Lyceum

A SHOW ABOUT A SHOW ABOUT...
[title of show] is just the kind of show Broadway needs. It's real and bursting with serious ambition.

 THE TIES THAT BIND CUT DEEPLY
THE MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO
at the Laura Pels Theatre

THE TIES THAT BIND CUT DEEPLY
Christopher Durang's The Marriage of Bette and Boo is one of the bleakest theatrical portraits of marriage. It's also a sharp-edged black comedy.

SPARKLING BUBBLES
GIGI
at Open Air-Regents Park

SPARKLING BUBBLES

In case one forgot, there's more to Lerner and Loewe than just My Fair Lady and Brigadoon. Take Gigi , for example-here presented in a well-done production at the Open Air.

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME..?
THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES
at Vaudeville

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME..?

The pros and cons of feminism are given a too thorough going over in Joanna Murray-Smith's The Female of the Species. There's a strong whiff of desperation as the play plods along.

SKULL DOINGS
THE REVENGERS TRAGEDY
at the National Theatre (Olivier)

SKULL DOINGS

The Revengers Tragedy ( Thomas Middleton's gory Jacobean story) comes across as an extravagantly over-staged production. It operates on the principle that nothing succeeds like excess.

WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR, MOMMY?
MARGUERITE
at the Haymarket

WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR, MOMMY?

Marguerite is a real mess. It's one thing to remove the comedy from musical-comedy. But the creative team hasn't found anything to replace it with.
