‘Other Desert Cities’ Review: Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Smashing Debut – The New York Times
Julia Louis-Dreyfus makes her Broadway debut in Jon Robin Baitz’s “Other Desert Cities,” earning strong reviews. The New York Times calls it a “smashing debut,” while The Guardian praises her and Ed Harris in a timely revival. Deadline notes she gets “seriously funny,” and People.com highlights her “effortless” transition to the stage. However, Vulture offers a dissenting view, saying the play “has dried up and blown away.” The production centers on a family reunion disrupted by a memoir revealing long-buried secrets.
