"An outstanding production of a mighty play. Grand, poetic, profoundly human and beautifully acted. It is a sight to behold." - Dennis Cunningham WCBS-TV

"Kevin Spacey hits the stage like a string of firecrackers going off. He was, in short, born to play Hickey, and the intelligence he brings to the role is breathtaking. Around 11PM, at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, silence descends ... the resounding soundlessness of a crowd of hundreds scarcely daring to breathe, much less cough or whisper. When was the last time you heard that kind of a hush in a theater? That this occurs four hours into the performance is a testament both to the abiding potency of Eugene O'Neill's great play and the hypnotic pull of this production." - Ben Brantley, New York Times

"Under Howard Davies' superb direction, a miracle occurs. This Iceman sings. This humorous, energetic, absorbing, even jaunty adaptation galvanizes the viewer, and reaffirms why Kevin Spacey is one of the most watchable men on the planet." - Georgette Gouveia, Gannett Newspapers

"Kevin Spacey's Hickey gives what can only be described as a shattering, enthralling, terrifying, and ultimately gut wrenching performance."
The play we have all been waiting for since the start of the season, THE ICEMAN COMETH, is finally here and it opened last night at the Brooks Atkinson. It's absolutely terrific and if you can get any seat in any location, go and enjoy this humorous evening with the marvelous Kevin Spacey and his gang of barroom drunks. See The ICEMAN COMETH if you can. It's not only a wonderful show about pipe dreams but it's a real dream of a show. - David F. Richardson, WOR Radio

"Iceman makes theater history. No admirer of the great American play should miss this "Iceman" for the ages. Four stars (out of four)." - David Patrick Steams, USA Today

"A production of the ages. So overwhelming - you will be devastated." - Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV
"The Iceman Cometh," which opened last week to ecstatic reviews, is extending its run until July 17. As part of the three-week extension, producers will sell about 100 more $20 student tickets per night. (The show's regular top ticket price is $100.) Spacey said, "We're determined to give this show to as many people as we can."
