      Neil Genzlinger New York Times "The Understudy" isn't abysmal, though it certainly is off target. Rated: 2/5 Nov 1, 2012 Full Review Andrew Schenker Village Voice Seems at times to aspire to being an edgy look at the transgressions a would-be Broadway star will commit to land the big role. Other times, it seems unsure of what it wants to be at all. Nov 1, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times It's all sharp, well-performed stuff until things go from darkly comic to just plain dark, derailing -- and dragging out -- the otherwise absorbing story. Still, this one's a cut above. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 16, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
