DOUBT Reviews — Page 2

I would give Turner the Tony on the strength of her third act opening soliloquoy alone.

Cherry is brilliant in DOUBT. She is giving a layered, textured performance performance, as is Kathleen. I'm seeing STREETCAR tonight, so I'll be able to form my opinion of Natasha. I think that the other two spots will go to Jessica Lange and Phylicia Rashad, who were both very good.

She got mixed reviews, but I figured she would get a nod on name value. I actually liked her performance very much.

I believe that they will consider Uggams a Featured Actress. I saw the show in DC and she didn't do anything for me.

I agree, Priest. I loved Turner but I was SMASHED by Jones.

Time Out New York takes a second look at Doubt in the current issue. They don't have reviews on their website, but here are some highlights from critic Adam Feldman's review:

"These days, it is rare for a Broadway play to make you think even once; to make you think twice is an accomplishment of substance. Many plays burn brightly onstage and extinguish themselves in the process, but the shadow of Doubt follows you home from the theatre."

...

"After my first encounter with Doubt, I came to a firm conclusion about Father Flynn’s guilt; at the Walter Kerr, my opinion was almost reversed. Yet this apparently central question is of secondary importance. Shanley is less concerned with factual certainty than with moral certitude; his eloquent writing weaves the play’s complex considerations - faith and modernity, truth and consequences - into a terribly fine and human brocade. If you haven’t seen Doubt yet, see it. And if you have, see it again."
