New Casts Enliven ‘God of Carnage’ and ‘39 Steps’

NYTimes.com: "As that great cultural arbiter “American Idol” likes to remind us, there’s more than one way to sing a song.

And with these latest casts, interpretations that might have been merely dutiful or imitative have instead a sprightly freshness that makes you smile both at what’s familiar and what’s new."
