Critic reviews

The performances in this touring show (the second) are first rate.

“Always & Forever” returns in all its boomer-era wonderfulness to the Illusion Theater

A two-hour volley of easy jokes at easy targets.

Provokes enough laughter to argue that if these crises don’t drive us mad, society might still have a chance.

For fans of jukebox musicals, this is surefire entertainment.

A wonderfully enjoyable production that makes for a fine afternoon in the great outdoors.

Really strong performances help keep this insubstantial piffle bubbling along...[with] fresh choreography and musical sharpness.

Reviving an obscure musical such as this one from 1989 is risky, but this production is smart and tuneful.

Soul and R&B music wrap terrifically around a story of four men at a barber shop who talk about the ups and downs of love.

Akin to a pageant, rather than an intensely personal look at the men, director Susan Stroman finds the right sensibility...
