The Hunt starring Tobias Menzies

I saw it today - fantastic! The entire cast is strong, but Menzies is absolutely magnetic. The pacing is tight - it's 1:40, with no intermission, and the staging was great. I highly, highly recommend it.

Forget Broadway, a show like this is why I love living near NYC: a world-class transfer from London that will likely never be seen anywhere else in the world. I loved it.

These are, in fact, the kind of presentations Broadway urgently needs."

Broadway also needed the brilliant t London production of Let The Right One In” that was stunning

Anyone able to report what the rush seats are?

That Vulture review is pretty negative, and as to be expected from Holdren, has some great lines.

Vincentelli in NYT praises the production design (the set is "the production’s single most fascinating element, and it is used devilishly well in conjunction with Neil Austin’s lighting and Adam Cork’s sound design and composition.") and not much else, calling it out for being heavy-handed: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/theater/the-hunt-review.html

Theatermania praises the play and uses its review to criticize the #metoo movement, which may affect one's perspective: https://www.theatermania.com/news/review-in-the-hunt-tobias-menzies-plays-a-man-falsely-accused_1731154/

Theaterly is negative: THE HUNT Misses Its Target — Review

Broadway Flash said: "Makes me think they hired him for diversityrather than his talent."

Another day, another wildly offensive comment from this trollstain.

He is especially terrible, but all the critics these days I can't connect to. Ben Brantley was absolutely perfect. We had it so good with him.

I think this is my first time in stark disagreement with Holden, yet her writing remains just as admirable. I thought The Hunt was magnificent.

I also agree that Ramirez is a pretty terrible critic - but it's not because he is may be considered a "diversity hire".Most things he writes are completely incorrect to me -and his experience in theater, criticism seem limited seeking to elevate his name with negativity. in most cases, he is opposite the majority - purposefully.HIs taste is also not for me and others I know."

Theres nothing wrong with liking/disliking any critic, or actor, or singer, etc. Stating that someone you dont like must have gotten their job as a "diversity hire" is bigoted and ignorant beyond measure. Broadway Flash keeps showing their own ass--almost daily!--without an iota of self-awareness. Its almost art.

I saw this in London and thought it was excellent, not flashy, just a proper well-written, thoughtful and well-acted play.



Incidentally I went on press night and the dog actually attended the press night after party and loads of random British celebs were queuing up to take selfies with it. Very cute. The dog seemed to enjoy the attention.

thanks for reupping this thread, providing a fresh reminder re your disgusting, unrepentant racism earlier in it.
