The Understudy Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
It's all sharp, well-performed stuff until things go from darkly comic to just plain dark, derailing -- and dragging out -- the otherwise absorbing story. Still, this one's a cut above.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
"The Understudy" isn't abysmal, though it certainly is off target.
Village Voice
Andrew Schenker
Seems at times to aspire to being an edgy look at the transgressions a would-be Broadway star will commit to land the big role. Other times, it seems unsure of what it wants to be at all.
