Reviews for Top Dog/Underdog at Broadway’s Golden Theatre:
New York Times (Jesse Green): Among the most thrilling and jarring gambits in modern theater…is the scene that opens Suzan-Lori Parks’s Topdog/Underdog with a bang. In a seedy rooming house apartment, as one man rehearses his three-card monte spiel — “watch me close, watch me close now” — Abraham Lincoln arrives with Chinese takeout… Her skittering silverfish of a play…glints with meaning that refuses to stay put… How wonderful to experience again, in the hilarious, harrowing and superbly acted Broadway revival, Parks’s fearlessness… she generates themes that her play will not so much corral as set free…
Daily News (Chris Jones): …a phenomenal two-brother drama, every bit as intense and rich as anything by Sam Shepard and, frankly, as good an American play as most anything written during the last quarter century. And on Broadway, the director Kenny Leon has put this 2001 masterpiece back on a fresh, vital pedestal. The experience…as Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Corey Hawkins smash each other into psychological pieces is at once retro and prescient… what makes Leon’s new staging notable is how he resists the temptation to bog down his production with the symbolism of Abraham Lincoln mythology, and any other such arcane academia, and focuses instead on making sure we believe that these vulnerable bros truly exist…
Variety (Naveen Kumar): It is a testament to the acuity of Suzan-Lori Parks’ imagination and powers of perception that Topdog/Underdog feels as vital and electric today as it did 20 years ago. The first Broadway revival…crackles like a live wire — an American fable with its finger shoved in a socket. Throw in career-high performances from Corey Hawkins and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and it is a theatrical event in the most essential sense, in that it demands to be seen here and now… It’s also loose-limbed and funny and magnetically entertaining, a slow-burning display of dramatic fireworks… Under the direction of Kenny Leon, this production fills them with swagger and heart.
Theatermania (David Gordon): Even by today’s “seen it all” standards, the premise of Suzan-Lori Parks’s Pulitzer-winning Topdog/Underdog is audacious… this 21-year-old drama proves once again to be one of the most original plays ever to be seen on old Broadway. What a thrill it is to be in the presence of Kenny Leon’s new revival at the Golden Theatre, where two exciting actors — Corey Hawkins and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II — are picking up the cards and giving us a singular night of theater… a play that’s all about rhythm. Parks’s exceptional text ebbs and flows like a piece of music… The evening is dominated by Hawkins, delivering a titanic performance and really the best he’s ever been…

RIP: Lucy Simon, the third woman in history to compose a Broadway musical, passed away after an extended battle with breast cancer Oct. 20. She was 82.
Raised on the music of Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, and Benny Goodman, she wrote her first song at 14 to memorize Eugene Field’s poem “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod”. In 1964, she recorded the song “Winkin’, Blinkin’ and Nod” with her sister Carly, reaching number 73 on the Billboard Charts. Carly would later find immense success in the popular music world, while Ms. Simon would leave the live music circuit to attend nursing school.
Ms. Simon initially acquired the rights to adapt the children’s classic Little House On The Prairie for the stage, but she and lyricist Susan Birkenhead later abandoned the project. Her next attempt, 1991’s The Secret Garden, would prove far more fruitful. Ms. Simon was paired with book writer and lyricist Marsha Norman for that project, adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 novel.
In 2015, Ms. Simon returned to the Broadway stage with Doctor Zhivago, a passion project inspired by her love of poetry. Ms. Simon worked on the piece for nearly 20 years before the Broadway run, and it has since had successful productions in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Korea. A concert version starring Ramin Karimloo will be presented by The Palladium in London on May 9, 2023.
Prior to her passing, Ms. Simon had been working with Susan Birkenhead and Emily Maan on a musical adaptation of Our Souls At Night, now called On Cedar Street. Ms. Simon had to bow out of the project as her cancer progressed, but her music will be retained as the project moves forward. The project is expected to be directed by Tony winner Victoria Clark.
