The Crucible NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if Enjoy suspense and tragedy. Excellent acting

Don't see it if Want to see a musical with singing and dancing

See it if You read the play in high school but didn't get the point of it. This production is strikingly relevant and modern without changing a word
