Assassins reviews

Broadway.com was kind enough to post this compendium of Assassins reviews; I'd say they're quite positive for the most part. Mandlebaum is worth reading in full - a thoughtful and intelligent assessment (that is to say: same as mine ). Brantley is thorough, but I didn't find his piece to be quite the rave I was told it was by friends who spotted it in Friday AM's Times. And I can't get over how often John Weidman gets slammed, if not dismissed with faint praise. The book's wild variety of tones is part of the esthetic strategy of the piece. Not a bug, but a feature! How hard is that to figure out?
