Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Some of theater's marquee names have arrived on Broadway in recent weeks in shows that share Southern sensibilities. The new musical "Big Fish," starring two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz, takes place in Alabama when it's not riding on a cloud of imagination. And Zachary Quinto makes an auspicious Broadway debut in "The Glass Menagerie," which also stars fellow Carnegie Mellon alum Cherry Jones. The play is confined to an apartment in St. Louis, but the fierce matriarch Amanda Wingfield is a Southern belle of the first order.

I saw this show when it was at the ART and this review matched my own opinions about it. Personally, I was enthralled by the show, and found myself lost in the world of this little family and their apartment life. The "pitch-black sea," as Sharon Ebertson calls it, was my favorite part of the set. I couldn't tell whether it was water, a glass mirror, or another thick liquid. The set captured my attention and worked as another character in the world of the show. Zachary Quinto was spot-on in terms of character development and timing, portraying Tom as accurately as anyone could.
