FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Shatner's World: We Just Live In It
William Shatner boldly tackles death on Broadway
7 / 10
The crowd on one preview night seemed game to just let Shatner be Shatner. None wore 'Star Trek' tunics or spoke Vulcan. They were happy simply to watch him boldly go. ... Perhaps it's the fact that he's approaching his 81st birthday, but Shatner seems to be dwelling a lot on mortality these days. 'Death is the final frontier,' he says at one point, a twist on the opening monologue of 'Star Trek.' There's actually a lot of death in the show. ... Yet the show somehow avoids becoming overly maudlin. 'Love is the difference between the cold light of the universe and the warmth of the human spirit,' Shatner says. 'And life doesn't have to end when love is present.' ... Shatner closes the show by performing his only song of the night — 'Real' from his 2007 album 'Has Been.' It is very much like Shatner himself, a little out of date, a little bizarre, but endearing nonetheless.
A Shakespearean Who Soared to Space Keeps Enjoying the Long Trip Back
7 / 10
If you’re going to have the chutzpah to call your show “Shatner’s World: We Just Live In It ...,” it is probably wise to enter joking. William Shatner, who does not need an introduction to anyone who has made it to the second sentence of this review, does precisely that in the chatty, digressive and often amusing tour of his unusual acting career, which opened Thursday night at the Music Box Theater for a brief Broadway run. Despite the absurdly (joshingly?) self-aggrandizing title, Mr. Shatner shows a welcome tendency to poke fun at himself that anyone who has seen his commercials for the travel Web site Priceline.com will probably recognize.
