LIVING ON LOVE Reviews

Today is Monday, April 20, marking the official OPENING NIGHT of Joe DiPietro's new comedy LIVING ON LOVE, at the Longacre, following previews that begin on April 1.

The cast of the new comedy, previously seen at Williamstown, features the Broadway debut of opera superstar Renée Fleming as Raquel De Angelis with Tony Award nominee Douglas Sills as Vito De Angelis, Jerry O'Connell as Robert Samson, two-time Emmy Award nominee Anna Chlumsky as Iris Peabody, Blake Hammond as Bruce and Scott Robertson as Eric, all under the direction of Kathleen Marshall.

"The world’s most famous opera singer Renée Fleming plays the world’s most famous opera singer in this hilarious new screwball comedy," according to press notes. "When her larger-than-life maestro husband (Sills) becomes enamored with the lovely young lady (Chlumsky) hired to ghostwrite his largely fictional autobiography, the diva retaliates by hiring her own handsome, young scribe (O'Connell) to chronicle her life as an opera star. Sparks fly, silverware is thrown, and romance blossoms in the most unexpected ways."

AMNY is Negative (2 Stars)

"'Living on Love' might have been enjoyable were it not for the complete emptiness of the piece itself. Although reminiscent of the screwball film comedies of the 1930s, it never moves beyond a simple, static scenario."

So far 3 for 3 All bad.

Renée Fleming Hits a High Note with "Living on Love"

Very POSITIVE!! He loved the cast especially Fleming and Sills!!

You're digging yourself quite the hole with this absurd and unfounded assertion that critics only like deep shows.

Ive been seeing more advertisements for this show. Ive also been seeing people post things like "seeing the show in june." Maybe they are selling better in the coming months.

Are you hearing something about May 3?

Philly, just because someone says they are seeing a given show in June doesn't mean that it's going to make it till then. Hell, even if telecharge or ticketmaster is selling that far out also means nothing. If a show, such as Living on Love, isn't making money despite being a limited run, they will pull the plug. Period, end of story. They would scrap tickets being sold online and give folks a full refund for those who bought them before the show closed.
