"I thought that the hospital scenes were depressing. This would be hard on theater goers who might have a loved one with leukemia."

Not What I expected
"This is quite a bit darker than rom/com it is billed as. There was some humor, but felt despair was also big. Juliana Margulies, Peter Gallagher, and support staff were all very good in their roles."

A romantic comedy derailed by illness
"I was expecting something lighthearted and cheerful. A disclaimer might be in order, warning people who suffered a similar loss of spouse to cancer. Had I known in advance, I would not have picked this show. On a brighter note, the cast was amazing and engaging!"

not a romantic comedy
"Love the Ephron sisters, but was hoping for something more comedic than tragic."

This is not a play - it's an excerpt from a book
"I have to say, the reason for our negative experience is because we literally saw a matinee (on the same day) of "Hills of California" which is one of the Best and Most Magical Productions of a show that We've seen in many years. We were floating on cloud nine after that show. We had tickets to the 8:00pm show of Tenth afterwards and (I know it's still in previews but...) we were very disappointed. It almost felt like it was a rehearsal in pre-pre production. Although there were a few moments that had spark, the overall production didn't work.We almost felt like it would have been more enjoyable to see a book reading from the author instead of this show. On an up note, Mr. Gallagher was delightful and authentic and brought star power to an otherwise lackluster production. Sorry, no one wanted to enjoy it more than us but in the end we were really disappointed. "

About Left on Tenth

Left on Tenth is a true story about love, hope, and the wonder of second chances. When she least expects it, Delia Ephron, best-selling novelist and screenwriter of You've Got Mail, makes a surprising connection with a man from her past and falls into her own romantic comedy. As their immediate spark blossoms into a love story that seems to defy all odds, Delia’s life takes an unexpected turn. Left on Tenth tells the messy, beautiful truth about getting older while feeling young, as it celebrates two people with the courage to rewrite their futures and open their hearts again.
