First, find out what is currently playing: (Note: it is helpful to know when the play opened.)

• Theater Mania
• New York Times, Theater Directory – Newspaper Room (3 West) or online
• Internet Broadway Database
• Broadway.com
• Curtain Up
• New Yorker - Displayed Periodicals (3 South) AP 2 .N6763
  

Then, look for a review

New York Times - The place to look for reviews for play running in NYC

Make sure that:

1. You know whether you have a review or a preview.
2. That the review is about the play you are looking for, not just a passing mention of the play.
3. That the play is on or off Broadway, not in some other city.
