I'll buy Zoe Wanamaker as the strong-willed matriarch, but the overrated Mark Ruffalo is simply grating as the gigolo next door, and the estimable Ben Gazzara doesn't seem to have the energy to make much out of the Marxist grandpa. But expect to see at least some of them onstage on Tony night...

But letting them off too easily would be to expect nothing more of them than an unfeeling pursuit of the bottom line. Whether or not we are adequately serving our nation and world is not a question conclusively answered at the career fair; it’s a question that must be asked and answered every day in every career...
