REVIEW: Laura Linney in “My Name is Lucy Barton”
Laura Linney stars in an unnecessary and poorly adapted stage version of Elizabeth Stout’s acclaimed 2016 novel, “My Name is Lucy Barton”. Despite a grounded and forthright performance from one of the greatest actors of her generation, the play never satisfactorily justifies its existence.
"Sing Street" will transfer to Broadway's Lyceum Theatre; "What to Send Up When it Goes Down" will return off-Broadway; "Trevor: The Musical" will play Stage 42; ABC will present "Young Frankenstein" live; the New York Musical Festival has shut down; Ciara Renée and McKenzie Kurtz will be the next Elsa and Anna in "Frozen"; Ben Cook departs "West Side Story"; Jake Gyllenhaal to produce and star in “Fun Home” movie; Laura Linney to record a "My Name is Lucy Barton" audiobook
Tony nominations and Drama Desk nominations; Laura Linney to star in "My Name is Lucy Barton"; "Oklahoma!", "What the Constitution Means to Me", and "Ink" extend; "To Kill a Mockingbird" recoups; "Bandstand" and "The Ferryman" to tour; "Rock of Ages" will return to New World Stages; New York Theatre Workshop season to include a stage version of the film "Sing Street"; "Beetlejuice" and “The Hello Girls” to record cast albums; Moliere in the Park; Rick Lyon's puppets from "Avenue Q" donated to the Smithsonian; Sarah Silverman's memoir "The Bedwetter" is being adapted as a stage musical; RIP Mark Medoff and Jo Loesser
