13 stars of the New York theater scene who elevate every production.
Jonathan Groff
The rare musical theater man with the unstoppable drive of a diva, Groff, 41, sweats charisma, as audience members in ringside seats at Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver’s Broadway musical “Just in Time” (above, 2025) recently discovered. Giving you everything, he makes you want more.

Jesse greens review of the great Gatsby was SO dumb. Like I know he’s an idiot, but Jesus… specifically the part where he says that the show was too scared to lean into the tragedy and that at the end they brought a reprise of the opening to bring back the party? Which is just NOT true, the point of the reprise is to send a message about how everyone likes to ignore the ugly things in life in search of frivolous entertainment and stuff like that??? Like it’s so… idk grotesque the way the ensemble acts in that closing that I have no idea how Jesse missed that

Pundits have likened the president to Lear, to Hamlet, to Macbeth, to Coriolanus. That may have been four years of wishful thinking.
As we say farewell to President Trump, why is no one discussing Timon?
I don’t mean the loafing tan meerkat from “The Lion King,” though he might do. Rather, I refer to the title character of “Timon of Athens,” the Shakespeare tragedy in which a bankrupt businessman, deserted by his sycophants and bereft of power, renounces society with wild curses (“Matrons, turn incontinent!”) to take up a miserly life by the sea at Mar-a-Lago.
Wait, sorry, wrong sea — Timon’s is “outside the walls of Athens.”
...
Not that Shakespeare is a newcomer to the gratuitous allusion game. For decades if not centuries, he has been the go-to brand for instant gravitas. (More than one U.S. politician has been referred to as the “American Macbeth.”) But something about the Trump presidency, which comes to an end Wednesday, has from its start sent writers on a scavenger hunt through the First Folio.
...
Beyond that, the plays, with all their faults, have a profound and noble goal that Trump does not: to provide insight into life.
...
no made-up villain, even Iago, is as alarming as someone for whom all the world is truly a stage.
Still, there’s something to be said for the Iago comparison. His final line, as he is dragged off to justice, is “From this time forth I never will speak word” — a consummation devoutly to be wished.
