"Days of Wine and Roses" Broadway Review: A Romantic Musical Triumph

Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James star in the Broadway premiere of Adam Guettel's musical adaptation of "Days of Wine and Roses," a darkly adult affair that showcases their peak artistry but feels constrained by material that fails to fully accommodate their talents, despite their real chemistry. The show, directed by Michael Greif, explores the story of a couple's descent into alcoholism with a palpably personal touch, but its neatness and didacticism limit the impact of the characters' love and struggle.
