Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThe set of the new Broadway production of “American Buffalo” at Circle in the Square is choked with the unwanted artifacts of recent history. The show’s two acts take place in a junk shop glutted with relics, one whose barest gestures toward organization are just begging to be undone; the place is already sliding into disorder, so why not finish the job?It’s fitting in more ways than this production may anticipate.

Frank Rizzo Public and personal identities are constantly being examined, teased and tested in Richard Greenberg’s “Take Me Out,” his grand paean to baseball and ontological quandaries, which is receiving a starry and satisfying Second Stage revival at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway.It’s been 20 years since the play first stunned audiences with its rich writing, provocative themes and a locker room full of naked men. (And still an active major league player has yet to step up to the bat and come out as gay.)Directed by Scott Ellis, this revival, too, is a solid hit, despite a few grounding errors.

EXCLUSIVE: Christopher Denham (Being the Ricardos) and Josh Zuckerman (The Offer) have signed on for roles in Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer for Universal Pictures, which is currently in production.

Michael Appler On Monday evening in New York City, “Plaza Suite,” a Neil Simon comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, opened on Broadway with a comedic crash nearly three years in the making.Set in the late-1960s, “Plaza Suite” comprises three one act plays in which Broderick and Parker — married in real life — portray couples staying in a suite at the Plaza Hotel. In the final act — a grand farce in which the pair play parents whose bride-to-be daughter has barricaded herself in the bathroom — Broderick takes a slapstick run at the locked-shut door. On Monday, in front of a star-studded crowd including Mayor Eric Adams, Broderick busted right through the set in an opening night gaff for the Broadway books.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Plaza Suite” practically demands to be played straight.Neil Simon’s look at three romantic couples facing down the passage of time is sharp and knowing, but it is, crucially, earnest. Each character gives direct and explicit voice to what’s on their mind; relationship dynamics are explored with an openness of heart that isn’t remotely trying to be cool or distanced.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaLerner & Loewe’s “Camelot,” that oft-old story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, will return to Broadway featuring a new book by Aaron Sorkin. That creative change may mean that Lancelot and Queen Guinevere will be doing a lot more walk and talks than they did in the original 1960 production or the 1967 film version.The revival, the first since 1993, is being produced by Lincoln Center Theater and will reunite Sorkin with director Bartlett Sher, his collaborator on the mega-hit stage version of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Lincoln Center says the show has been “reimagined for the 21st century.” Presumably it will still boast the same swooning, soaring, irresistibly hummable music.

Surprisingly, Chris Rock wasn’t responsible for the night’s best joke (but he did deliver big on the night’s biggest shocker). Instead, the honors went to the three hosts and the inimitable Jane Campion. Here were the best jokes from the 2022 Oscars.

She couldn’t hold back the giggles! Jessica Chastain was seen bursting into laughter as 2022 Oscars host Amy Schumer roasted Leonardo DiCaprio.

this year's Oscars got a triple dose of comedic talent with hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. The trio took the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to kick off the star-studded awards show in style.As the ladies took to the stage — following Beyonce's larger-than-life performance of «Be Alive» — they got a brief intro from DJ Khaled who amped up the energy in the room and got everyone in the mood for the the hosts' monologue.«This year, the Academy hired three women to host,» Schumer shared, «because it's cheaper than hiring one man.»The trio also addressed the Oscars' decision to not broadcast a number of the more technical awards.«As many of you know, a decision was made to present some behind-the-scenes awards in the first hour,» Schumer shared.«It was a controversial and difficult decision but I think we've moved on,» Sykes said, as the lighting onstage flickered and buzzed before almost going out.

The Oscars welcomed three hosts this year in Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. But it was Schumer who got the first monologue of the night, and she roasted as many people in the room as she could.To start, the comedian threw a dig at the Oscars as a whole, joking that “The only place I could think of that would be better than this would be … home.” Schumer joked that home is where her family — and her pills — are, before turning her attention to more specific targets.Of course, not all of her subjects enjoyed Schumer’s targeting.
