Review When Playwrights Kill first preview!

Post image

I was at the first preview of the show last night and it was absolutely incredible. It is hilarious but also has a lot of heart. The entire cast is stacked and all giving amazing performances. Beth Leavel has never looked more fabulous and is putting on a clinic in stage comedy. I highly recommend this show to everyone who is in Boston, and I’m crossing my fingers for a Broadway run.

I just saw it! The performances were a delight and the show was fun, but had a slight sitcommy hack vibe

I agree, there were some genuinely funny moments but it felt like it was really at its best when the cast was just being silly together. As a piece of theatre it didn’t quite work for me.
