Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test

The Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test is our personal and highly opinionated Commuter's Guide to New York theater and cultural events, with an emphasis on Broadway and Off-Broadway theatrical productions. The test is simple: is an event worth the always expensive, time consuming, and too often horrendous struggle to commute to New York City from New Jersey, Long Island, Upstate New York or Connecticut? Only truly great or near-great performances and productions may meet this stiff challenge!

The Break of Noon, a play by Neil LaBute at the Lucile Lortel Theatre. We never miss a Neil LaBute play, they're always well cast, well written, and well played. The Break of Noon is an intriguing examination on what happens if a heel gets religion after a tragedy. Two great performances by David Duchovny who is astoundingly good, and by Tracee Chimo who rises to tremendous heights in an emotional scene. The beautiful Amanda Peet is excellent in two roles as is John Earl Jelks. This is a thought provoking play that grows in memory. Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test Grade B+
