‘The Imaginary Invalid’ Broadway Review: Molière Gets Clowned By A Winning Bill Irwin

The Broadway revival of Molière's The Imaginary Invalid has received contrasting critical responses. One review praises Bill Irwin for his ability to clown the audience in an enjoyable production, despite a leather recliner that clashes with the 17th Century French costumes. Conversely, another review describes the performance as unfunny, noting a lack of laughter from the audience at the Todd Haimes Theatre, suggesting the revival failed to deliver the expected comedic impact for some viewers.
