E.L. Doctorow’s portrait of turn-of-the-century America is heavy, but Lear deBessonet handles the material with a welcome restraint. Joshua Henry commands the stage as Coalhouse Walker Jr., bringing a necessary gravity to a score that often threatens to drown in its own earnestness. The revival avoids the bloated spectacle that usually plagues these transfers, keeping the focus on the friction between the three families at the center of the story. It is a long night at the theater, and the pacing occasionally drags, but the performances justify the trek up to 65th Street. Go for the cast; stay because it is a rare piece of theater that actually has something to say.

Our verdict
Lincoln Center's revival of the great American megamusical lands like a gut-punch and a hymn at once — a New York Times Critic's Pick with 11 Tony nominations and a 96% audience score to match. Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, and Brandon Uranowitz lead a flawless cast through a score that still interrogates the American soul. Stirring, timely, and close to perfect. The revival of the season.
