Anna Christie enters demanding not just a drink, but one made on her own terms, to her own liking. With that entrance, Eugene O’Neill cracked open a new age of modern drama, putting vibrant, smart, and independent women on stage, and centering a whole story around their dreams and difficulties.

Michelle Williams is no stranger to the American stage: she's won raves playing unique women in other revivals, including *Blackbird* and *Cabaret* in New York and *Uncle Vanya* at Williamstown.

St. Ann's Warehouse is known for its audacious premieres and revivals; a few seasons back, it launched *Oklahoma!* to Broadway, completely turning that story on its head. Now, a new version of a beloved classic takes its stage with a star-studded cast.

## What to watch for
- Other stars who have played Anna include Celeste Holm and Natasha Richardson.
- Icons have also taken on the role of Mat, Mike Faist's role, including Liam Neeson, Jude Law, and John Lithgow.
- Paul Tazewell, who won an Oscar for his work on *Wicked*, provides the costumes.
- Thomas Kail has also directed the television series *Fosse/Verdon*, which starred Michelle Williams.

*Anna Christie* is the classic story of a former prostitute who falls in love, but runs into difficulty in turning her life around.

Get *Anna Christie* tickets on New York Theatre Guide to see Michelle Williams take on one of the theatre's greatest roles. Coming to New York for a limited time this fall and winter, *Anna Christie* plays at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, co-starring Tony Award nominees Tom Sturridge and Brian d'Arcy James. A story of one singular woman's journey through love and hardship, *Anna Christie* is Eugene O'Neill's instant classic.

When Anna first enters, she demands what she wants in one of theatre's most iconic lines: “Gimme a whiskey — ginger ale on the side. And don’t be stingy, baby.” 

And with that, O'Neill painted one of the art form's most spectacular characters in a play that went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In *Anna Christie* off Broadway, audiences will get to see Williams take on a role that has been played by legends, including Natasha Richardson, Celeste Holm, and Ruth Wilson. 

In the play, Anna, long separated from her father (James), reunites with him in adulthood. Not realizing that she has become a prostitute, her sentimental father comes to blows with a seaman (Sturridge) who has been smitten by her. From there, their journeys set sail in ways that will forever change the course of their lives.

Thomas Kail, the director of *[Hamilton](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets)*, reunites with Williams here: the two, married, previously worked on the hit TV show *Fosse/Verdon*. Get tickets to *Anna Christie* in New York now.

Turns out, the same expression was plastered on my face for almost three hours during this take on the late-1980s fairytale musical by composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim and writer James Lapine.Direct from a deservedly much-ballyhooed run in May at New York City Center Encores!, this star-packed and polished Into the Woods is currently slated to run for eight weeks. It's Broadway's giant summer blockbuster. What a stellar way to launch the 2022-23 Broadway season.Credit director Lear deBessonet for assembling a Broadway dream team (there have been changes since City Center) as well as her clear-eyed and uncluttered staging.

Hamilton on Broadway - NYC [384]

Hamilton on Broadway

Hamilton on Broadway [384] Product Media

I saw *Hamilton* Wednesday last at the Richard Rogers Theatre. Last night I went to bed with *Hamilton*. I had Lin-Manuel Miranda's script all to myself and devoured it. There is so much information, not to mention plain old smarts, that is packed into this show that reading the text is an exercise in pure pleasure. And once again I came away with the same conclusion. This is a story ABOUT Alexander Hamilton while at the same time it is the story OF Aaron Burr.

Burr (Leslie Odom, Jr.) welcomes us to the evening almost purring:

How does a b*st*rd, orphan, son of a wh*re And a Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In the Caribbean, by Providence impoverished, to squalor Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Who did this immigrant Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) think he was? Burr was the son of money. Hamilton was the son of chance and fortune. Burr was willing to wait for his just rewards; Hamilton preferred the direct route.

... I'm just like my country I'm young, scrappy and hungry And I'm not throwing away my shot

Hamilton arrives from Nevis in the Bahamas just as the country is splintering into a new incarnation. He lands in New York, the center of everything, and works his way up the revolutionary ladder. He sits at the right hand of God in the person of George Washington (Christopher Jackson) and pines for a command that is denied him until there is no other option.

Hamilton did not live in a vacuum, however. Events and people were moving around him like a hurricane. The women in his life were a match in every way to the men. "The Schuyler Sisters," Angelica (Renée Elise Goldsberry), Eliza (Phillipa Soo), and Peggy (Alysha Deslorieux on the night I was there), are the center of New York's solar system. While Washington in planning battle, there is a social life to be created. Angelica is looking for a mind at work, and when both she and her sister, Eliza, are smitten by Hamilton, she steps aside in a scene that is tragic and gallant.

As each element is added to the story, the tapestry becomes richer and more dense. Family brings new responsibility but does not alter Hamilton's trajectory. As the new country is formed, he stays in the inner circle, annoying Thomas Jefferson (Daveed Diggs) who was in France for most of the war, and drives Burr just a little mad. Burr's thirst for the power that Hamilton has is palpable, and as his frustration explodes in the second act with "The Room Where It Happens," the experience is visceral for us all and becomes a showstopper.

Over and over again we see the tragedy that is coming. The rules of dueling are spelled out more than one time. The future is seen as a place where these folks may not walk but in which they will be remembered. The tension and terror of the time fill the theatre. This is balanced by Miranda's eye for the absurd, the ridiculous and the insidious which evoke belly laughs, winces and mental high-fives. He gives a generous nod to King George (Jonathan Groff, who is the only white person playing a main character) who smiles and winks through three pop numbers that remind us in the nicest possible way that the little people are just that:

Cus when push comes to shove I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love

Hamilton was smart and driven - and he was a writer. It was his pen that got him out of his home, and it would be his pen that brought him to the side of Washington. Today he would have been tweeting (as is Miranda) several times a day. If the telegraph had been around he would have been tapping until the machine melted in his hands. But these were the days of longhand, quills, ink, and parchment. And delivery was by foot or, if you were lucky, horseback. Still, what Hamilton managed to crank out was not only impressive, it was world-altering. His accomplishments are listed like it was an awards banquet. He crafted a financial system. Created the national debt to save the country. Wrote *The Federalist Papers*. He wrote as if he were running out of time. And he was.

The last moments of Hamilton's life are perhaps the most delicately crafted. "I imagine death so much it seems like a memory," Hamilton sings as the bullet travels through time and relationships to reach him. And when it does, we hear the lament of Aaron Burr, still at the center of the tale, who didn't realize the world was wide enough for them both, and the chorus that delivers us back into our seats singing and asking us, "Who lives? Who dies? Who tells your story?"

Hamilton is a magnificent tapestry where all the elements of theatre are called upon to be their very best. The choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler is nothing short of mesmerizing. His work makes the entire piece pulse. Alex Lacamoire's musical direction and orchestration lifts us into the stratosphere. The scenic design by David Korins, costumes by Paul Tazewell, and lights by Howard Binkley are seamlessly integrated and a visual feast. Finally, Thomas Kail's direction is impeccable. Under his guidance this show has been pieced together into a living, breathing entity. *Hamilton* is not just a show, it is an experience - which is always the goal of art. This is not a show that you sit and watch. It is a show that takes you by the hand and pulls you into its embrace.

The end result is something much more than the story of one man. It is the story of how we each create our destiny and our mark on the world. You leave the theater thinking about what you would like to do that you have not done. You leave the theatre filled with possibility.

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses," wrote Ernest Dowson in an 1896 poem that later lent the phrase to a [1958 teleplay, 1962 film](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/guide-to-the-days-of-wine-and-roses-musical-on-broadway), and now, their [Broadway musical adaptation](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27504-days-of-wine-and-roses-tickets). Translation: Life's best times are fleeting. A case in point is the 16-week stint when the talents of actors [Kelli O'Hara](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/kelli-ohara) and [Brian d'Arcy James](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/brian-darcy-james) (both multi-Tony nominees giving career-best performances) and writers Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas (premiering their first new Broadway show since 2005's *The Light in the Piazza*) are all on one stage.

Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2023, the *Days of Wine and Roses* musical, featuring largely the [same company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/kelli-ohara-and-brian-darcy-james-team-up-in-days-of-wine-and-roses), has aged like, well, wine. The story begins light and sweet before quickly revealing heavier notes: Kirsten loves Joe; Joe loves Kirsten. Joe also loves liquor. Before long, former teetotaler Kirsten loves liquor, too, in part because she grows to believe Joe will only love her if she does.

The gut-wrenching tragedy of *Days of Wine and Roses* is watching that dynamic slowly reverse: When Joe finally manages to claw his way up onto the wagon, Kirsten seeks to pull him back down to drown with her at the bottom of the bottle.

Water imagery is constant in the musical, showing how completely drink engulfs Joe and Kirsten's lives. (Notably, the house of Kirsten's father, a reliably sobering presence as played by Byron Jennings, is the one place absent of the motif — the couple and their daughter, Lila, regularly visit there as a sort of rehab.) No metaphor is better than that of the standout song "As the Water Loves the Stone," a sweet ballad until you remember that the caress of water erodes stone. The implication is clear: Joe and Kirsten are eating away at each other drop by drop.

In less skilled hands, these flawed characters could push the audience away or else flatten into scapegoats. But James and O'Hara don't let that happen for a second. O'Hara's Kirsten contains multitudes beneath a sheltered, sunny air, including a zeal for what her favorite books describe as "the human desire penetrate the unknown" — like the world of booze. James's Joe is magnetic such that when he trades his drunken aggressiveness for tenderness, we immediately root for him again. James and O'Hara's sparkling chemistry is effortless, entirely convincing us of their deep love even in their darkest moments — and those moments become all the more arresting as a result.

The perfect pair also saves the show from its weak spots; namely, Guettel's lyrics that wash over the ears and leave little aftertaste, more than once failing to convince that they express emotions big enough for song. As a result, though, I was more closely attuned to Lucas's book, economical but quietly well-crafted, and Guettel's score, lilting and (in keeping with the water theme) regularly nautical.

While *Days* certainly doesn't go down easy, it's energizing to see a Broadway show, including director Michael Greif, handle a mature theme like alcoholism with precision and compassion. Cheers to that.
