Variety Review: “The portrayal of Galileo as an infinitely self-satisfied Renaissance cockerel — he appears to be dressed in Anita Yavitch — might have worked in a performer's hands and shown more humorous self-awareness. But Esparza's committed turn does not make these words sad.

Variety review: "This is, without a doubt, a technically flawless achievement. And no one complains about not knowing where they spent their ticket cash. But as stunning as it is, there's something faint about abandoning Rice and Lloyd Webber's most profound achievement for a thrill show."

Variety Review: "Oh, Mary!" It's comedic and complex at once, a bit of mania from broad sketch comedy, but also an unmistakably queer romp where the female characters are played by a trans woman and a non-binary actor, echoing fairly gay masculinity.

Synopsis: A musical about the Cuban artists behind "Buena Vista Social Club," an internationally acclaimed album of the country's most popular musical styles, opens on Broadway in March 2025.

Variety Review: "Entering 'Buena Vista Social Club' is like stepping into a thrilling world of sensuality, intense emotion, and passionate music and dancing. The social club was a real hangout for Havana locals in the '50s. Decades later, its music became the source of a Grammy-winning album and now showcases the most toxic album. Broadway Season
