Howard Miller takes a look at The Parisian Woman:
"In the land of sinners, the whore is Queen," observes an experienced political hand in Beau Willimon's The Parisian Woman, an old-fashioned melodrama about the interplay of sex, power, and unbridled ambition among Washington, D. C. insiders that opened tonight at the Hudson Theatre. Unfortunately, the production only occasionally rises above the temperature of tepid bath water, despite the playwright's bona fides as the creator of the popular and not dissimilar, if scandal-ridden, Netflix series "House of Cards," and the undeniable allure of Hollywood superstar Uma Thurman, who is making her Broadway debut. . . . |
