| There might be something to this: "But Broderick has the potential to be effective onstage. There’s something a little unsettling about his low-boil detachment, and you could imagine him playing one of those churchgoing men who turns out to be a psychopath. Too bad Broadway sees him only as a funnyman." (from her review of "Sylvia.") | |

| Not unlike the revival of NIGHT MUST FALL, which Broderick gave a creditable performance in. | |

| It was not so much a review of the show but a review of him. She has never been an admirable critic and this is, perhaps, her worst. | |

| Nobody should ever trust EV as a critic. She is not credible. Then again, Post readers rarely attend the theatre. J | |

| I am not commenting on her as a critic overall. "Sylvia" is probably never going to be a play that lends itself to in-depth criticism anyway. Her comments on the Broderick conundrum, which seems to hang over most reviews and discussions of any production he appears in these days, are intriguing. | |

| Here it is so people can judge for themselves. You have to wonder if this was all that made it into print of a longer piece. | |

| "A big problem is that he’s often miscast, as in the 2012 musical 'Nice Work If You Can Get It,' where he gave 'one of the most unappealing performances of the past few years.'" Why on earth is that last phrase in quotes? Whom is the critic quoting? Herself? Or maybe it's just a weird editing error? Not that I disagree with the quote, I'm just wondering.... | |

| Thanks. I think it's kinda weird that the quote suddenly appeared without attribution. | |

| In today's review, that quote is clearly indicated as a hyperlink. You click it, and the older review pops up. So the attribution is right there. | |

| Thanks. For some reason, when I first read the review, I didn't notice that the quote is a hyperlink. I just checked the print edition, and the review is not in there at all, so that answers that question. | |
