Mia Farrow & Patti LuPone In ‘The Roommate’: Odd Couple, Odder Play – Broadway Review
Deadline review of Broadway 'The Roommate' starring Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone.
If the play’s moods were consistent – if Silverman had leaned more confidently into dark absurdism, say, or, settled more comfortably into Neil Simon formulaic sentiment – details about landlines and music eras wouldn’t stick out so much, but she doesn’t and so they do. In fact, the delightful Farrow is so thoroughly invested in her characterization that she almost manages to pull off an ending that’s so slap-in-the-face unbelievable, so bizarrely amoral that it careens from the walk on the wild side to a breaking bad trip to bountiful. Title: The Roommate Venue: Broadway’s Booth Theatre Written By: Jen Silverman Directed By: Jack O’Brien Cast: Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone Running time: 1 hr 40 min (no intermission)
