NYT Critic's Pick from Laura Collins-Hughes
Review: ‘For Colored Girls’ Returns, Leading With Joy
Camille A. Brown’s revival of Ntozake Shange’s 1976 Broadway landmark brings exuberant life to a play that celebrates Black women’s solidarity in the face of pain.

Theatrely is positive on the material, mixed on the production:
"This first Broadway revival, at the same Booth Theatre in which it premiered half a century ago, is nominally a transfer from the Public Theatre’s excellent 2019 production. In losing Leah C. Gardiner as its director and having choreographer Camille A. Brown step up for double duty, however, it also loses the simple conversational spark that made their collaboration such an electrifying, sanctified experience."

Johnny's review in the Post is...a choice. Did he really spend (almost) the whole review waxing about how the experiences of the black women depicted in the piece are no longer relevant? Ok, my dude.

Olenski was hired for his "conservative" opinions. It could have been worse.
