‘Left On Tenth’ Broadway Review: Julianna Margulies Beguiles In Sickness And Health


Deadline's Broadway review of Delia Ephron's 'Left on Tenth!'

Based on Delia’s bestselling 2022 memoir of the same name, the title Left on Tenth refers to the Greenwich Village location of the writer’s beloved apartment where she spent many happy years with the husband who dies not long before Ephron is diagnosed with leukemia. Certainly, Ephron’s memoir lacks the visceral sadness, gut-punching grief that Didion chronicled so intrepidly and with such gravitas, but the authors do share a pile-up of mid-life bad news: Delia’s beloved sister Nora dies in 2012 and her doting husband in 2015. A lovely whirlwind romance ensues, but in keeping with the haste that seems to mark so much of Delia’s life of late, a routine medical exam – she’s been having her bone marrow checked regularly since the death of her sister to a leukemia-related illness – brings bad news.
