I found Mother Play very evocative I found this play very evocative. The acting was superb. The story was much more serious and intense than I expected. Some scenes brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend this play. The seats, even in the mezzanine, are excellent for visual and audio ability. My only negative was that the seats are a bit cramped.

If you're looking for a light uplifting musical, don't see this play. My wife and I decided to see a serious drama this time around, and this play certainly didn't disappoint. All three actors were superb. The script had an excellent mix of emotional dialogue and sardonic humor. We are in our 70s so we saw the issues from the mother's point of view and in light ot the era of the play. Although we didn't agree with the mother's viewpoint, it was pretty typical of parents of that era. I've seen some reviewers who were disappointed in the ending, but we both thought it was perfect. Essentially, three lives being seriously damaged by the bitter experiences of the mother. We both came away thanking our lucky stars that our family experience has been the total opposite of what was portrayed in the play. A serious, thought provoking, drama superbly acted.

Jessica Lange is absolutely incredible Jessica Lange is absolutely incredible. It is worth seeing for her performance alone, but the other two cast members hold their own too and the story is engaging. Lots of great one-liners, some laughs, though mostly serious subject matter. I highly recommend it.

I loved the storyline of Hell’s… I loved the storyline of Hell’s Kitchen. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. The music lyrics fit each scenario perfectly and the dancing was amazing too. Great job and major kudos to Alicia Keys.

Jeremy Strong is a force of nature Jeremy Strong is a force of nature. His range is wide, but he plays those edgy, neurotic types so well! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the interactive “break”. Very impressed with Michael Imperioli’s Broadway debut. But Strong stole the show.
