SEVEN DEADLY SINS: LIVE THEATER BEHIND GLASS

★★★☆☆ Moisés Kaufman directs seven vice-inspired one-acts, cleverly staged on the streets of the Meatpacking District

★★★★★ John Turturro and Paul Giamatti topline a stunning cast in Diane Paulus’s revival, hilarious and horrifying by turns

★★★★★ Daniel Sullivan directs with his standard skill, Raúl Esparza, Lily Rabe head superb cast

★★★☆☆ Jean Lichty plays the title role in this unevenly acted revival also featuring Montego Glover and Robert Sean Leonard

★★☆☆☆ The swift-tongued playwright takes on a flawed powerful woman, Sarna Lapine directs

★★★★☆ Replacing Jonathan Groff, the Broadway veteran delivers a stellar turn in the musical that merits a repeat viewing.

★★★★☆ Writer Bubba Weiler and director Jack Serio offer a tender drama of faith and friendship

★★★★★ Death really does become her, as the writer, composer and star - Jennifer Nettles - serves up a killer new musical.

★★★★☆ Politics underscore but don’t overpower the character-driven epic from Jonathan Spector

★★★★☆ Classy musicalization of a psychosexual cinethriller uses human and technical legerdemain to spellbind

★★★★★ Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalf and Christopher Abbott star in Joe Mantello's emotionally searing revival.
