"Doubt is Broadway's most satisfying drama since Copenhagen, a terrific entertainment that challenges and comforts at the same time.

And yet… John Patrick Shanley's intelligent potboiler has grown since its Manhattan Theatre Club run, and not always in a good way. From the very first moments, where Father Flynn (Brìan F. O'Byrne) greets his parish with a newly protracted silence, director Doug Hughes asks us to chew a bit longer on the lessons being offered. Just because these lessons are worth savoring doesn't mean the play benefits from such elongation."

"
With the opening of Doubt on Broadway, it's time to revisit the
most tantalizing question of the season: Did he or didn't he?

For audiences who see the show now at the Walter Kerr, as was the case for
so many who saw it Off-Broadway at the Manhattan Theatre Club earlier this
season, simply asking the question isn't enough. Painstakingly examining
facial expressions, watching every nervous tic, and analyzing line
deliveries for any hint of nuance are a major part of the experience. When
is the last time such minute details seemed of such crucial importance? For
that matter, when is the last time a new play encouraged so much honest,
vocal, public discussion of its mysteries? . . ."
