Twenty-plus years after its New York debut, the Suzan-Lori Parks drama “Venus” gets a daring revival as part of the playwright’s residency at Signature Center.

The CSC’s lean, politically relevant revival asks audiences to question the merits of isolationism versus globalization.

“Hamilton” choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler guides the two rising Broadway stars in a swing-infused musical about a World War II vet who connects with the widow of a fallen soldier. Patriotic and sincere.

It’s 1990 all over again in a period-faithful revival of the John Guare play based on real events, about a clever con artist who convinces an Upper East Side couple that he’s the son of Sidney Poitier.

Christian Borle makes for a fine Willy Wonka in a new musical from the creators of “Hairspray.” But a score and set that fail to wow, and adult “kids” sketched out as ugly stereotypes ultimately sour matters.

The Divine Miss M finally puts her stamp on the matchmaker role made famous by Carol Channing. A revival that strikes a sumptuous balance between realism and misty nostalgia.

Andy Karl shines in a musical adaptation of the 1993 film, from the creators of Broadway’s “Matilda.” Funny, edgy and entertaining.

The Tony Winners play rival cosmetics titans Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden in a new musical that — sorry! — isn’t a cat fight between so-called divas, but rather a smart portrayal of the obstacles faced by two of America’s earliest female entrepreneurs. Mostly, it’s bliss and makeup.

The “Hamilton” Tony nominee returns to Broadway as the insouciant French gamine in a genial, but uninspiring musical adaptation of the kooky 2001 French film.

The Oscar winner plays ladies’ man Garry Essendine, who’s trying to plan a tour of Africa, but can’t get a moment’s peace. The best performances come from Kate Burton and Kristine Nielsen.
