Broadway's Celebrity Autobiography Lacks Laughs, Despite Starry Cast

Deadline's Broadway review finds the concept—celebrities reading other stars' memoirs—interesting in theory but underwhelming in execution: even with a strong lineup (Adsit, Cantone, Hiller, Hoffman, Jackson, Martin, Vardalos, Wilson), the show feels bare-bones and too small for a Broadway venue, delivering few laughs despite moments like standout impressions; running time is 1 hour 30 minutes and tickets range from $49 to $329.

Corn Puddin’ Sparks Broadway Schmigadoon! Revival

Deadline’s Schmigadoon! Broadway review finds a bright, crowd-pleasing pastiche of Golden Age musicals—lavish costumes, high-energy numbers, and playful nods to Carousel, The Music Man, and more—anchored by Ana Gasteyer and a lively ensemble; while Alex Brightman’s Josh is less engaged, the show’s corn-puddin’ humor and nostalgic riffing keep the Nederlander Theatre production buoyant and entertaining.

'Peter Pan Goes Wrong' Takes Broadway by Storm with High-Flying Chaos

Peter Pan Goes Wrong, a British farce created by the Mischief Theatre company, is now playing on Broadway. The play is based on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan and follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's attempt to stage the classic tale. The humor is broad and full of grievous injuries, but the action moves quickly and the show has a gentle moral tilt. The cast's bonks and mishaps will make you cringe and laugh at the same time.
