Reviews are appearing for William Shatner<\/strong>‘s Shatner’s World: We All Just Live in It<\/em>,” and while some critics enjoyed the trek into the world of Shatner, others were less than impressed.<\/p>\n Shatner’s World: We All Just Live in It<\/em> runs through March 4 at Broadway’s Music Box Theater after which it will be seen in fifteen U.S. cities, finishing up in Detroit on April 19.<\/p>\n “Despite the lack of dish about Star Trek<\/em>,” said Time Out New York’s<\/a> David Cote<\/strong>, “you can bet that Trekkies will flock to the show like Tribbles on a starship bridge. Still, Shatner is genteel, funny and an amusing storyteller; there\u2019s even a little something for the non-Trekkie.”<\/p>\n The New York Daily News’s<\/a> Joe Dziemianowicz<\/strong> was less than impressed with Shatner’s show. “All solo bios involve some self-promotion,” he said. “But at their best they also take you on a journey, with stops for an insight or takeaway or two. World just feels like an extended sales pitch for Shatner as an icon. Broadway is a way to expand the brand.”<\/p>\n Frank Scheck<\/strong> of The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> found Shatner to be “witty.”<\/p>\n “The octogenarian actor\u2014here making his first Broadway appearance in a half-century–is such an engagingly hammy and funny raconteur that only the most curmudgeonly will begrudge him this celebration of his life and career,” said Scheck. “That\u2019s not to say that being a fan isn’t a prerequisite for fully enjoying this breezy one-hundred-minute evening that features anecdotes, hoary jokes, film clips, philosophizing, and yes, a demonstration of his singing talent or lack thereof. But between the Trekkies and viewers of T.J. Hooker<\/em> and Boston Legal<\/em>, among others, the theater should be reasonably filled during this limited run.”<\/p>\n Entertainment Weekly’s<\/a> Darren Franich<\/strong> admits that Shatner’s one-man show was “undeniably fun,” but “the most telling moments of the show come when the lights dim, and the on-stage video screen plays Shatner’s greatest hits: a Star Trek<\/em> soliloquy, his Comedy Central<\/em> roast, the final sequence of Boston Legal<\/em>. In the corner of the stage, you can see Shatner watching Shatner, grinning from ear to ear. He’s his own best audience. It’s Shatner’s show: We’re just living through it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reviews are appearing for William Shatner‘s Shatner’s World: We All Just Live in It,” and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2421],"tags":[4087,2414,4084],"class_list":["post-15142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-tos","tag-broadway","tag-shatner","tag-shatners-world-we-all-just-live-in-it"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a> Star Trek: TOS<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: TOS","comment_count":"3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15154,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15142\/revisions\/15154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
