Red - 2010 - Broadway History , Info & More

From the Donmar Warehouse in London - which brought you Frost/Nixon, Mary Stuart and this season's Hamlet with Jude Law - comes the thrilling new American play, Red. This critically acclaimed, 90-minute drama comes direct from a sold-out run in London, starring two-time Tony Award nominee Alfred Molina and breakthrough British star Eddie Redmayne.



Master American expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art. But when his young assistant gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, with ground-breaking performances, Red is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.



Written by Academy Award nominee John Logan (The Aviator, Gladiator) and directed by Olivier winner and Tony Award nominee Michael Grandage (Frost/Nixon, Hamlet), Red is an award-winning production coming direct to Broadway, offering a moving and compelling account of an artist's struggle for integrity amidst fame and self-doubt.

Review - 13: The Tired Businessman Musical for Middle-Schoolers
by Kristin Salaky - October 13, 2008


While riding the uptown Broadway local train from Times Square around 1am on Saturday night after enjoying post-A Man For All Seasons cocktails with my Tudor-geek friend who vigorously detailed all the play's historical inaccuracies for me (more on that one later in the week) I found myself in a car nearby a group of adolescents having a loud and just as vigorous discussion about how all boys were dogs.

Review - A Catered Affair: Very Inviting
by Kristin Salaky - April 29, 2008


Every so often a musical comes to town that we're told, 'Breaks all the rules!,' and 'Changes Broadway Forever!' That's nice. Usually this has something to do with having rock music, weak story-telling and an advertising campaign that convinces you that it's like nothing else Broadway has ever seen.

Review - In Paradise/ She Plundered Him & Tales of an Urban Indian
by Kristin Salaky - March 4, 2009


I don't know how far along set and lighting designer Maruti Evans was with his work for INTAR's double bill of Eduardo Machado's In Paradise and Nick Norman's She Plundered Him when the company lost its home due to the sudden closing of the Zipper Theatre and its season was rescued by the availability of the much smaller studio space at the Cherry Lane Theatre, but I imagine the switch necessitated some drastic changes in his view of the two pieces. In any case, the end result is perhaps the most memorable and effective part of the evening.

Review - One of BroadwayWorld's Own Honored For Playwrighting
by Kristin Salaky - September 9, 2008


Congratulations to BroadwayWorld theatre critic Duncan Pflaster, whose latest playwrighting effort, Prince Trevor Amongst The Elephants, took home three awards at this year's Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival, including Outstanding Overall Production of a New Comedy Play and Outstanding Playwriting for a New Script, Play or Book of a Musical. We can't review Duncan's plays here on BroadwayWorld (ethics, ya know), though they're being produced more and more frequently around New York, but we can raise a proverbial glass when his talent is honored.

Review - Take Me Along - Flora, The Red Menace - Fabulous Divas of Broadway
by Michael Dale - March 3, 2008


1959 was a heck of a good year for Broadway overtures.  The majestic trumpet fanfare and lowdown bump and grind of Gypsy's is generally regarded as the best in musical theatre, but there was also the rousingly rhythmic curtain-raiser to Fiorello! and, my personal favorite, Philip J. Lang's beautiful interpretation of Bob Merrill's music for Take Me Along, which touches on so many moods of the show while continually building the toe-tapping climax of The catchy title tune.
