The Variety and THR reviews are spot on. Saw the play last night and was dazzled. It's a stunning piece of work. Besides the fabulous writing and wonderful acting, I have to say that the set design is impeccable, and it has some of the best lighting I've ever seen, allowing the paintings to come to life, rightfully establishing them as characters in the piece. Truly beautiful.

A few quibbles from Talkin's Broadway, but still "one of the season's most colorful successes." http://www.talkinbroadway.com/world/index.html

Keep the reviews comin'; after purposefully avoiding any "spoilers," except for my knowledge from my art major BFA days, I finally saw RED tonight and my God, it was exhilarating.

Red is for a very limited season only, yes?

Does anyone think with great notices they may extend?

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

"my God, it was exhilarating."

So scripps agrees with Scripps2.

I'd say that's a rave from the times.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Happy to see these positive responses and reviews. I saw the play the other day and was knocked out, particularly by Alfred Molina's performance - also loved the set and the way the lighting changed the colors and textures of the paintings. The play is dense and gives you a lot to think about. Melancholy and funny and moving and thought provoking - I'll take that from a play any time.
