Last Friday, I saw “Reasons to be Pretty” by Neil LaBute, at the Lyceum. The best play I’ve seen all year. Wonderful to see such a strong new play. Young people really should go see it. It has a young cast, it’s not a revival, it tackles all the hard moments of being in love and staying in love. The language is fast paced, sharp, meaty. The four characters are very well fleshed out, they argue a lot, and at any given moment you see yourself in one or the other’s shoes, or say, oh yeah, I’ve done that, or yeah I’ve been there.
Really a great play – and one of the cheapest on Broadway this season.
