Just returned from 5 days in NY for theater. Saw - Dangerous Liasons, Gypsy, In the Heights, South Pacific, The Country Girl, August; Osage County.
5 stars to South Pacific (perfectly cast, brillant set, a cast who can act and sing!), In the Heights (original, fun, high energy, happy, great for teens, excellent talent), and August; Osage County (seeing it for the second time, I still loved it - all 3.5 hours. Amazing acting all around!).
4 stars to Gypsy (great lead, otherwise somewhat weak)
3 stars to Dangerous Liasons (Laura Linney is quite uninspired in this role)
1 star to The Country Girl (very dated, walk-through performances by all except Peter Gallagher, but he has no help)
