REVIEWS: Red Velvet at STNJ

Early Reviews for David in “Henry VIII”

Reviews, Theatre,
Last week marked the opening weekend for the rarely-produced "Henry VIII" at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (directed by Paul Mullins), where David Foubert plays the title role of the infamous King Henry VIII. Some of the early buzz: Simon Saltzmann, CurtainUp New Jersey (October 20, 2014) "I am obliged to add: If the current Shakespeare Theatre production of Henry VIII doesn't end up on your must see list then you are likely going to miss one of the highlights of the New Jersey theatre season. ...The costumes may be [an] eye-filling treat, but I suspect you will be keeping…
