Absolutely phenomenal!!

"We saw Mariska perform this role so beautifully, so fully, that I forgot about her prior characters or anything else. I was enraptured the whole show and was never bored. Highly recommend. "

Mariska Hargitay is a Brilliant Thing

"I had no idea what to expect, what the show was about, what the setting would be like. Nothing. From her first words, Mariska Hargitay was like a bolt of lightning. She moved the audience from rapt attention, to laughter, to tears and back during the most energetic 2 hour+ performance I've ever seen. The premise is brilliant, and at the performance I saw, the audience members who participated were outstanding. A completely engulfing, unexpected pleasure that still lingers. Don't miss her brilliance."

Every Brilliant Thing doesn’t disappoint

"I was absolutely blown away by the whole experience of Every Brilliant Thing. The story itself was captivating from the first line. The tough content of the effects of depression & suicide was handled in ways to try to bring very real subjects to the forefront of our minds & raise awareness of such matters. Mariska was phenomenal in this role & shined as the brilliant actor she truly is! "

Renita F from Beattyville on Jun 1, 2026

Amazingly touching!

"Mariska was fabulous! It was a serious subject that was written phenomenally, it kept it light and funny with a strong message. I walked away knowing that 'you will not always feel the way you are feeling' when things get tough. She was warm and comedic and pulled it off brilliantly! Great job, Mariska! xo"

Lisa V from New Milford on Jun 1, 2026

Absolutely exhilarating

"I can't say enough about this play. From the time I purchased the ticket to the time I made plans to travel from Bristol Pa. to New York to see it on the 30th of May 2026. I never been so excited about seeing a play as much as I was to see Every Brilliant Thing. I was so impressed by the staff and the people who put it all together. I got there a half hour early and there was a long line. Let me just say the doors open and it was if there weren't any line. Loved it. The service was awesome and the staff was superb. Now, for the show and the performance. It was absolutely phenomenal I never felt so many emotions that filled my heart with so much, joy, laughter, sadness and even an abundance of love. The seating was beyond my imagination; I was very pleased and overwhelmed with so much joy and happiness. It was the most amazing and remarkable time I ever had in a long time. I'm still thinking about my experience today. All, I can do is keep smiling and wishing I were still there, wishing it wasn't over. I couldn't wait to tell my friends and family all about it and hope to get to see it again before it leaves the theater. All I can say is, it's absolutely remarkable. I applaud the writers, the staff and most of all the cast who made it all come together in an unforgettable way. Love It!!"

"I though this show was wonderful! The interaction with the audience and the very poignant way Mariska Hargitay told the character’s story pulled at my heart strings throughout the whole show. "

Christine G from Yonkers on May 31, 2026

Mariska Hargitay was amazing!

"I loved that the audience was involved. Mariska was so professional, filled with all kinds of emotions, and I heard every word she said! We loved the play. We loved the way the play was presented on a very difficult topic, but with a great way to try to resolve that conflict."

...

Broadway.com Customer on May 29, 2026

Mariska SHINES on Stage!!

"This show is truly an example of a one-of-a-kind; a recipe for the soul; an exquisitely unifying connection among strangers who leave the theater feeling connected and valued - and Mariska shined with a warmth and a powerfully relatable normalcy that only a soul-artist can do! "

...

Megan C from Wilmington on May 29, 2026

10/10 show!!

"I can’t think of one negative thing to say about this show. The script will move you, make you laugh, tear up and get you in the feels. Mariska did an absolute INCREDIBLE job!!! It was so good that I saw it twice and might see it another time too. It’s just so so good!! I’ve never connected so much to a show like this before, love love love!"
