The Humans Reviews
- The finest new play of the Broadway season so far -- by a long shot -- Mr. Karam's drama has been beautifully transferred from Off Broadway...with the production's prized virtues intact: a peerless cast, whose members all inhabit their characters as if they've been living in their itchy skins forever...
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
- There is so much love, dread, tenderness and brutality in The Humans that it is hard to believe just 90 minutes pass through Stephen Karam's deeply-felt family tragicomedy thriller...
- Linda Winer, Newsday
- The Humans is just as funny, just as moving and just as sneakily unsettling in its new Broadway incarnation, and retains its essential intimacy...
- Adam Feldman, Time Out NY
Summary
“The Humans” is the winner of 4 Tony Awards including BEST PLAY, BEST FEATURED ACTOR (Reed Birney) and BEST FEATURED ACTRESS (Jayne Houdyshell). Charles Isherwood of The New York Times cheers, “Stephen Karam’s play is a major discovery — blisteringly funny, bruisingly sad, and altogether wonderful; it’s the best play of the year.” New York Magazine raves, “‘The Humans’ is not just a play for now, but for all time. It’s the best play of the year.” It’s “hilarious, heartbreaking and unforgettable — the best play of the year,” says Entertainment Weekly.
The Chicago Tribune cheers, “Few writers of Stephen Karam’s generation have achieved anything like ‘The Humans.’ Inestimably kind, rich and beautiful; it’s the best play of the year, and the best new play in years.” It’s “a play of uncommon strengths: fresh, funny, piercing and perceptive” (Daily News). The Hollywood Reporter calls it “infectiously joyful, unimpeachably honest, and tremendously moving — the best play of the year,” and Peter Marks of The Washington Post writes, “It’s the best play of the year. This is what Broadway needs more of: extraordinary ‘Humans.’”
