"RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL FRESHNESS ABOUT AS WELL AS SUSHI": The Times' Ben Brantley weighs in on the new star-studded revival ofNeil Simon's Barefoot in the Park--and it ain't pretty.
On Amanda Peet: "Her Corie seems as madcap as Martha Stewart in a business meeting. You can sense that she's trying, really hard, to be funny and freewheeling, but it hurts her. Us, too."
On Tony Roberts: "The role of the Bohemian womanizer next door is one Mr. Roberts could glide through on automatic pilot. He does."
Everyone and everything from director Scott Elliot to Isaac Mizrahi's costumes gets the business in the review, save for comparably low-wattage Adam Sietz, who plays the minor role of a telephone repairman and whose previous acting jobs include voicing the role of Boots' father in an episode of Dora the Explorer.
