Left on Tenth is a true story about love, hope, and the wonder of second chances. When she least expects it, Delia Ephron, best-selling novelist and screenwriter of You've Got Mail, makes a surprising connection with a man from her past and falls into her own romantic comedy. As their immediate spark blossoms into a love story that seems to defy all odds, Delia’s life takes an unexpected turn. Left on Tenth tells the messy, beautiful truth about getting older while feeling young, as it celebrates two people with the courage to rewrite their futures and open their hearts again.
"The acting was good. It was kind of a romantic comedy with definite dramatic elements. Some of the writing is a bit typical for a romantic comedy, a bit cutesy for my taste. It was nice to see some of Hollywood’s finest actors still holding up well and doing the best they could with the author’s work."

Loved Julianna and Peter in Left on Tenth- story of Hope
"As a wife of a BMT survivor, I know too much...but, I do appreciate the hope, the sense of the whirlwind speed of treatment, and mostly the details of this new treatment for hard to find 100% donor matches...Love that you did a Broadway show in the city where MSK cured my husband from AML. Sad for Delia's sister- love Nora and Delia's writing. "

Charming with a dose of giggles
"I hadn’t read the memoir but enjoyed the themes of love after loss…resilience through challenges…and vibrancy in middle age and beyond.
I enjoyed Peter Gallagher’s very natural performance — it felt like he was living the script. Julianna Margulies’ felt a bit less so even though much of the production had her engaging directly w the audience. The delivery felt much more scripted rather than (what I think) was intended to be a conversation.
The supporting cast was phenomenal — multiple characters, accents, and affectations can’t be easy.
Generally a very enjoyable and heart-warming production. Always a pleasure to see actors from film and television practicing their craft in front of of a live audience."

Second act love story doesn’t disappoint
"Really enjoyed this second act love story based on her true story. Heart breaking and hopeful at the same time. We were in the upper level and would recommend sitting in the lower level since the actors speak directly to the audience.we felt a kit removed sitting up there. Otherwise would totally recommend. "

Good Acting. Thin script

Love the actors
"Loved the actors, the set and the first part. Hospital part was a bit too long. Would recommend to New Yorkers but if an out of towner is coming to nyc and only has one show to see I’d probably not recommend "

Love the acting, scenery backdrops and moving story.
"Loved the charming and funny first half. Thought the last half when she was ill and hospitalized was moving, well done but a bit too long."

Seats were so uncomfortable that it was hard to enjoy the show
"The show was 100 minutes long without any intermission. The whole time we waited for the play to start, the annoying Verizon customer service “please hold messages” were being played. It was fine a few times but got really annoying.
The seats in the mezzanine were among the worst I’ve ever endured and really distracted from what was otherwise a nice play. I will never return to that theater for any play.
The sets were wonderful and we liked the transitions between scenes. The two actors who played all of the non-lead parts were really impressive. The music was great. "

It was unbalanced
"I was attracted to the play. I love Peter Gallagher, I remember him from Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I was unprepared for Delia's cancer. It jolted me. I went through treatment for triple negative breast cancer in 2017 and the play hit too close to home."

Great acting, play not so great.
"We thought the acting and staging were great, the main and supporting actors.
We’re fans of Julianna and Peter and they did not disappoint.
The play turned very maudlin with the later health scenes. We felt that they were too drawn out and detracted, rather than added, from the play.
Staging was very creative and effective.
Enjoyed the breaking into singing and dancing, that added to our enjoyment,"

Misleading
"I thought the play would be more pleasant but then again I did not read the book.
A little tired of plays with sickness both physical and mental and although the patient lived and the performances were good,this audience member wasn't uplifted even though our heroine survived"
