Score: 98%. "It is a celebration of the human spirit, an irresistible, eloquent, raunchy, bawdy, knee-slapping, uproarious, hell of a good time!"

"Meticulously transformed into Elizabeth Warren….Some of this activist Molly reportedly hews closer to the real Molly Brown - a Molly of her age for our age. But for all the gut renovation, the surface of 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' remains an old fashioned musical."

"The show offers a truly dynamite central performance by the fiery Beth Malone, some first-rate choreography by director Kathleen Marshall and a tuneful-enough score to create a diverting entertainment."

"The new book devotes so much time to dialogue scenes that the show often gives the impression of being a play with songs instead of a traditional musical…Lots of glowing ore to mine…but…too much plotting, an excess of obvious wokeness, and a heaviness where ebullience is required."
