FEATURED REVIEWS FOR High

'High,' 'War Horse' and 'Wonderland' Strike Out, but 'Being Harold Pinter' Strikes Gold
1 / 10

Thank God for Kathleen Turner. I say this not just because she plays a woman of God, a foulmouthed nun, in her new star vehicle High. No, I thank God for Ms. Turner because without her measured, commanding and utterly compelling performance as Sister Jamison Connelly in this melodrama about addiction, religion and redemption, sitting through High would be like sitting through an ABC After School Special.

Kathleen Turner’s Swearing Nun Helps 'High' Hustler
1 / 10

Lombardo, a recovering addict, has written an imitation of a play, and not a very good one. Kunken is petulant as Father Delpapp. Jonigkeit plays Cody with such incoherent gruffness suggesting he never gave up dope long enough even to get into the center. Under Rob Ruggiero's overwrought direction, 'High' plays more like an early workshop than a polished Broadway production.
