Time Out New York

"Timely and provocative. John Lithgow is superb, fearsome – a master thespian."

Time Out New York

Adam Feldman

The New York Times

"I found Lithgow’s performance a fascinating study in monstrosity. I found myself engaged by the conversations I’ve had since seeing Giant: They are the necessary third act to this two-act play."

The best of Broadway
"The acting is fantastic. John Lithgow is of course one of the best in acting and. He is as great as ever in Giant. The other performers are most talented too . The topic is important and timely today as ever. Dahl should be discussed always. Nothing could be better on Broadway!!!"

Fascinating and disturbing
"Not much more I can add - Lithgow won the Tony. IT's a great play. Maybe don't see it if you ever want to read James and the Giant Peach again!"

Late, but loved it
"My friend and I were so looking forward to seeing Giant, and specifically John Lithgow. Unfortunately, I live in a different time zone and when in NYC it showed up with a start time an hour later than the actual start time. When we arrived late we thought about leaving, but decided to stay. Even with missing the first 45 minutes it was spell binding. John Lithgow was fantastic, and all as a matter of fact, ALL of the cast were brilliant! Highly recommend!!"

Stunning & Spellbinding
"The story line is so timely the play could have been written sometime more recently. John Lithgow’s performance was nothing short of amazing but so was that of the entire cast. Aya Cash and Elliot Levey were superb. I saw this on June 17 and if weren’t on vacation the next two weeks I’d see it again (and again) before it closes the end of June. I was left speechless !"

First Class Performances!
"The actors’ performances were extraordinary. Though we had great seats (1st row mezzanine), it took a few minutes at the start to be able to pick up Lithgow’s dialogue as he was looking down at this desk. I mention this not as a complaint but to encourage audience patience as the sound quality improved greatly within minutes. Overall, a terrific experience, though due to difficult, nuanced and sophisticated subject matter, I would not recommend for pre-teens. "

10000 stars! An extraordinary experience
"Just saw GIANT. Still can’t breathe properly. It is shattering. Lithgow is a giant! The most astonishing, powerful performance. I’ve seen him dozens of times. It’s this script. It’s searing. I’ll be processing for a long time. I think the script should be shared - it’s so compelling. The oldest hatred is the greatest understatement ever "
