| The National Theatre of Great Britain’s production was as dazzling as what I saw on Broadway in 1994. I vividly remembered the physical production and it was a thrill to revisit it. While all of the performances are superb in this production, I couldn't shake the memory of Jane Addams and Rosemary Harris in the 1994 production. The stand out in this production for me was Liam Brennan as Inspector Goole. The most significant change from my 1994 viewing is how this piece resonates in the era of Trump and social media. It's truly frightening. |

| Saw this tour in Beverly Hills a month or so ago. Had not seen the original. It must have been groundbreaking in the 90s, and the physical production still resonates strongly. I agree that Mr. Brennan stands out in a well-balanced and capable cast. Bill, in San Diego |

| I saw this in DC in December and posted about it then. I agree that the physical production is impressive. I wasn't enamored with all of the cast, but I think that Brennan was a standout. | |
