Description
Alan Bennett's 2004 smash play—about a select crop of academic rock stars in their final year of prep school—exudes charm from every pore, mainly due to the randy, fresh-faced octet of young male actors in Nick Bowling's Chicago premiere. If anything lacks in this otherwise terrific venture, it's the sexual undercurrent the material suggests should be there. Other than that, History Boys is a dream, albeit a dry one. —Christopher Piatt
