‘The Performance’ Review: Jeremy Piven Taps Into A Career-Best Role In Chilling Drama Set In Nazi Germany
A review of 'The Performance' with Jeremy Piven as a frustrated tap dancer who gets the opportunity of his life but a moral crisis at the same time
That it has taken this long to get made turns out to be oddly a blessing as The Performance emerges on to the scene in a time of rising white supremacy and anti-semitism around the globe and in America, making this unique story even more relevant than when Miller wrote it. Their initial meeting backstage after Fugler sees the troupe’s energetic tap routines is wonderfully performed by Piven and Carlyle and makes this proposition seem quite credible. Jeremy Piven looks like he was born to play this role, and he is firing on all cylinders as a man putting his own moral conscience on the back burner in order to pursue a golden opportunity at what he sees as fame and fortune, at least to some degree.
