"TOM STOPPARD'S MASTERPIECE. AN EXQUISITE REVIVAL."
Scott Brown, New York Magazine
"FEEL THE HEAT RISING. Arcadia is propelled by genuine, panting passion. A TRULY WONDERFUL, DEEPLY FELT PLAY. SEE IT."
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA is now playing on Broadway for a limited engagement following a sold-out run in London. Directed by five-time Tony Award® nominee David Leveaux, ARCADIA is a masterpiece of misunderstanding and quest for knowledge resonating across centuries that John Lahr of The New Yorker calls "ONE OF THE GREAT PLAYS OF MY THEATERGOING LIFE."
"A TIME TRAVELING MASTERWORK. A RAVISHING ROMANCE.
DAVID LEVEAUX'S celebrated revival is emotionally exuberant."
Linda Winer, Newsday
"In revealing and celebrating the wanting in all of us, ARCADIA offers as thrilling and offers as thrilling and fulfilling a theatergoing experience as you'll likely have this season."
Elysa Gardner, USA Today
"ARCADIA STANDS TO LIVE FOREVER."
Marilyn Stasio, Variety

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Arcadia
An Exquisite Revival of Arcadia Could Use a Wee Bit More
8 / 10
Sex hangs over Arcadia like a fine English fog, and personally, I’d have preferred it even thicker. Nothing sets off Stoppard’s crystalline intellect like a nice, rude intrusion of carnality and folly. But Leveaux has directed his cast members to turn inward, and perhaps that’s ultimately the better choice. I admit to being a little flummoxed by Crudup’s Bernard; he’s playing a character more or less alien to American audiences, the flibbertigibbet rake, and he bridges the gap with doses of downcast American irony and tics that sometimes come close to clowning. But his approach won me over by Act Two, when Bernard’s limitations as a person and a character come into fuller view. Ditto Williams’ chilly Hannah and Powley’s avid child-prodigy Thomasina — they seem immovable in their typologies until late in the play, when the clockwork clicks into place.
When Good Enough Just Isn't Enough
5 / 10
Enough about 'Spider-Man' already—Tom Stoppard is back on Broadway! Only time will tell whether 'Arcadia' is Mr. Stoppard's masterpiece, but it isn't premature to call it one of the key English-language plays of the postwar era, and even in a staging that is less than satisfactory, it makes a rich and affecting impression. Now for the bad news: David Leveaux's revival of 'Arcadia,' which was originally mounted in London two years ago with a different cast, isn't much better than adequate. When you're talking about a high-profile revival of a great play, good enough won't cut it.
