‘Mary Jane’ Review: Rachel McAdams Makes a Solid Broadway Debut Depicting the Sacrifice of Motherhood
Rachel McAdams makes her Broadway debut in "Mary Jane" as a single mother grappling with the impossibility of her disabled child's well-being.
In “Mary Jane,” the 2017 play written by Amy Herzog and making its Broadway debut under Anne Kauffman’s direction, viewers witness both a young mother’s joy and her anguish as she works around the clock to keep her disabled toddler alive. Though Ruthie initially attempts to indulge Mary Jane, pity takes over, and the older woman instead begins to advise her tenant on the wonders of good sleep hygiene and self-care. Still, Susan Pourfar, playing two women in positions similar to Mary Jane, and Lily Santiago, as Sherry’s niece Amelia and music therapist Kat, have roles that showcase the actors’ wealth of talent and agility.
