FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Shatner's World: We Just Live In It
It's ‘Shatner's World: We Just Live in It’
8 / 10
Shatner's World is equal parts endearing and funny - a mixture of two worlds, really: everyday and rarefied. The show is a must for Shatner fans, but you needn't be all that familiar with his work to understand a lot about him through his stories, which travel from his roots in Montreal through college there at McGill University, and jobs that grew more challenging with each 'yes.' ... Shatner's appetite for new challenges pushes him to constantly redefine himself; he has been America's captain of Star Trek on TV and in the movies. He's been T.J. Hooker on the so-named TV show, host of TV's early reality-based Rescue 911, then oddball lawyer Denny Crane on Boston Legal and The Practice. And more. If you want a glimpse of him as himself, catch him interviewing celebs on Bio's Shatner's Raw Nerve. If you want to watch him build a character without saying a word or moving, click Priceline on the Web. If you're looking for Shatner the raconteur, you'll find him on Broadway.
William Shatner boldly tackles death on Broadway
7 / 10
The crowd on one preview night seemed game to just let Shatner be Shatner. None wore 'Star Trek' tunics or spoke Vulcan. They were happy simply to watch him boldly go. ... Perhaps it's the fact that he's approaching his 81st birthday, but Shatner seems to be dwelling a lot on mortality these days. 'Death is the final frontier,' he says at one point, a twist on the opening monologue of 'Star Trek.' There's actually a lot of death in the show. ... Yet the show somehow avoids becoming overly maudlin. 'Love is the difference between the cold light of the universe and the warmth of the human spirit,' Shatner says. 'And life doesn't have to end when love is present.' ... Shatner closes the show by performing his only song of the night — 'Real' from his 2007 album 'Has Been.' It is very much like Shatner himself, a little out of date, a little bizarre, but endearing nonetheless.
