  A Shakespearean Who Soared to Space Keeps Enjoying the Long Trip Back

  Charles Isherwood

  February 16, 2012: 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.

  Shatner's World: We Just Live In It

  Frank Scheck

  February 16, 2012: To quote a famous Star Trek catchphrase, resistance is futile to William Shatner’s one-person show, Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It.

  Captain Kirk Back on Broadway

  Jonathan Mandell

  February 16, 2012: There is the William Shatner, long forgotten, who appeared with Spencer Tracy in “Judgment at Nuremberg” and replaced an ill Christopher Plummer as Henry V at the Stratford Festival. There is the familiar William Shatner of Captain Kirk in “Star Trek” and Denny Crane in “Boston Legal.” And then there is the William Shatner of “Shatner’s World: We Just Live In It,” the one-man show which marks his return to Broadway for the first time in 50 years.

  Shatner's World: We Just Live In It

  Matt Windman

  February 16, 2012: William Shatner's new one-man show is not the most challenging piece of theater you're likely to see this year. You've probably also seen more inspired one-person shows. But it does make for a fun evening of personal reminiscence, gossip, video clips and old-fashioned humor - along with one of his strange musical performances.
