A panoramic tribute to a world that is “all going away,” CONEY presents a diverse cast of twelve characters spanning in age from 13 to 73, including carnival barkers and freakshow stars eking out a living; working class friends looking back at a lifetime of courtships on the boardwalk; and a young couple with an obsession for “The Warriors.” Sometimes timing is everything, and after the battering New York has taken from Hurricane Sandy and an unseasonable early snowstorm, David Johnston’s lovingly sunny “Coney” is a welcome theatrical tonic. — Andy Propst, Backstage Read the Backstage review here.
