Customer Reviews for The Lehman Trilogy

Winner takes all, and all are winners!
This is the work of theatre lovers FOR theatre lovers. The three actors are superb, and the audience is the biggest winner. It’s a marathon three and a half hours and not a dull moment. With the workout these Iron Men breeze through, it’s no wonder one of the understudies had to step in for a regular. Even with book in hand for only the third act, the performances made overlooking it easy to do. Gorgeous use of the space and sound elevated an experience you should not miss.
Compelling night of theater
It’s just a three-man show, but the performances are terrific, especially by old Shakespeare favorite Ed Gero. Three hours (with two intermission's) is a long evening, but it’s compelling throughout, and the script is very well written. Stimulating contemporary drama with messages that resonate after the show. One of the best external shows imported by Simon Godwin.
Wonderful
The time flew by. Thought provoking with humor and incredible character development. The 3 talented actors seamlessly shift from role to role as you travel through the generations with them from immigrant story to fulfillment of the American dream to the collapse of an empire. Saw it opening night. Go get your tickets now.
Exceptional
It was an outstanding production. The play was so captivating that the 3 hour 20 minute run time flew by. You could not even pick which of the three actors was the best. All three were exceptional. You will not be disappointed.
3 hours lost
Sorry not really a review just my reaction. Boring production. Zero stage craft, flat performances. I would have preferred the audiobook. I was so looking forward to this. What a disappointment.
Boring - More like a narriation than play
Three actors play multiple roles of this production. Mostly speaking directly to the audience rather than each other. Wasn't all that entertaining. Couple next to us left after the first act. We left, along with several others, after the second act. I would recommend you skip this performance.
