What a gorgeous show- the acting is superb, the music is haunting, and I was deeply moved at the story. Puts the audience in the center of a problem that is mostly unseen or unheard in America. The staging was elegant and cool. Captures mood and deals with important issues. ... Read more

The Visitor @ Public Theater: A Must See
I saw the performance on opening night and found it to be one of the most moving and thoughtful theater experiences that I have ever had. The story line is compelling and as relevant (if not more so) than when the film was first produced post-9/11. The acting is superb, engaging, and emotionally moving. Finally, the music was a pure delight. I feel so fortunate to have seen this show and highly recommend it to everyone. ... Read more
