Dance Review: OSCAR (The Australian Ballet at New York City Center)
A KISS, A SIGH, BUT WHERE’S THE DANCE? Christopher Wheeldon’s Oscar Wilde ballet offers a moving story and striking imagery, but too little of the athletic movement that makes ballet thrilling Ah, the biopic ballet. This time, it’s Oscar, the story of the life of Oscar Wilde, performed by The Australian Ballet on tour this…

Theater Review: I AM THE WIND (Theatre Y)
BLOWN AWAY Jon Fosse’s haunting meditation on life, companionship, and depression becomes an extraordinary theatrical experience in the hands of two remarkable actors In a misty space, two roughly hewn planks of wood swing from the ceiling, suspended by nautical ropes. Flanking the planks are wide swaths of white cloth stretching from ceiling to floor….

Theater Review: ALL MY SONS (Lyric Stage, Boston)
WHAT’S BIGGER THAN THE FAMILY? Lyric Stage’s intimate production of Arthur Miller’s classic asks how far our responsibility extends beyond those we call our own Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is a haunting psychological American drama that takes place in 1947, capturing the postwar tension. The play is, first and foremost, a study of human…

Theater Review: PETER PAN GOES WRONG (San Francisco Playhouse)
PETER PAN GOES WRONG GOES VERY, VERY WRONG A two-hour farcical flight to Neverland that you may wish had never taken off San Francisco Playhouse’s current fall offering is Peter Pan Goes Wrong, a comedy that, for me, produces considerably more aggravation than laughter. It’s brought to you by the same people who produced 2024’s…

Theater Review: THIS IS GOVERNMENT (Moxie Theatre / San Diego)
A CAPITOL IDEA FOR A PLAY Nina Kissinger finds laughs, humanity, and uncomfortable questions in the people trying to keep government working from behind the scenes At Moxie Theatre, Nina Kissinger’s dramedy, This Is Government, opens with three congressional staffers who find themselves navigating the peculiar realities of working on Capitol Hill. Kaz (Kailey Madoka Agpaoa),…

DEALING WITH THE HAND THEY WERE GIVEN Suzan-Lori Parks stacks the deck against two brothers whose love, rivalry, and hunger for a better life turn one rigged game into another There are only two actors onstage in Suzan-Lori Parks’ Topdog/Underdog, but there is nothing small about the world they create. Now playing at The Old…

Off-Broadway Review: SLAM FRANK (Orpheum)
FRANKLY, IT’S A SLAM An outrageous Afro-Latin hip-hop reinvention of Anne Frank goes gleefully where you can’t believe it dares to go Wait, what? Slam Frank, which opened at the Orpheum Theatre on October 4, is an “Anne-Frank Afro-Latin Hip-Hop Musical”? Its logo is the silhouette of a young girl wearing the yellow Jewish star,…

Theater Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT (National Tour / CIBC Theatre / Chicago)
DEAD MAN WALKING—STRAIGHT INTO THE THIRD REICH A corpse, a preposterous plan, and five tireless performers make this British spy caper an enormously funny exercise in controlled chaos Monty Python’s influence is all over Operation Mincemeat, the smash-hit musical making the first stop of its North American tour at the CIBC Theatre in Chicago, after…
-
Theater Review: A BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO (La Jolla Playhouse / San Diego)
A RARE BIRD WORTH WAITING FOR Mat Smart’s warm, funny new play finds that what we’re searching for may matter less than what we fail to see along the way You don’t need to know a warbler from a woodpecker to get hooked by A Black-billed Cuckoo, Mat Smart’s funny, warm, and surprisingly sharp new…
-
Theater Review: COVENANT (SpeakEasy Stage Company / Boston)
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS Strong performances and eerie stage effects cannot entirely clarify a mystery that depends on carefully controlled deception A terrific performance by Crystin Gilmore as the stern, Bible-thumping, yet guilt-ridden Mama, along with evocative special effects, makes Covenant, a Southern Gothic about the battle between good and evil, a riveting…
-
Theater Review: KAIJU (The Road & BroadStage / North Hollywood)
MONSTERING THE ARTS Giant monsters and theatrical pretensions collide in Dan Caffrey’s gleefully unhinged new play Has the spark seemed to have left the LA theater scene? Does a night at the theater mean a choice between commercial dreck or heavy messaging? Are you weary of your thoughts being provoked yet again? Well, consider adding…
-
Theater Review: WICKED (National Tour)
SOMETHING WICKED GOOD THIS WAY COMES The national tour lands in Boston with enough brains, heart, and theatrical magic to remind us why this musical continues to defy gravity It’s appropriate that the national tour of Wicked has returned to Boston—it’s the home territory for author Gregory Maguire, whose novel is the foundation for one of…
-
Theater Review: OH, MARY! (First National Tour)
THE WAR BETWEEN ABRAHAM AND MARY IS ANYTHING BUT CIVIL Cole Escola’s gleefully unhinged historical farce gives Alaska Thunderfuck ample opportunity to make a spectacular fool of the First Lady Historians tend to agree that Abraham Lincoln did care deeply for his wife, Mary Todd, and was emotionally attached to her, though their complex 23-year…
-
Theater Review: TOPDOG/UNDERDOG (Steppenwolf Theatre Company / Chicago)
THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS Kenny Leon finds new layers in Suzan-Lori Parks’s riveting battle between two brothers trapped by history, rivalry, and the roles they perform Topdog/Underdog by Suzan-Lori Parks is lauded as one of the greatest American plays of the 21st century, and it’s earned that label through blistering and rhythmic language, tension so…

FROM LAST TRAIN TO FIRST LIGHT: USING SEEDANCE 3.0 TO ENVISION STAGE LIGHTING
A bench, a station clock and a doorway would be enough for the scene I have in mind. The last train has gone. Nobody enters, but somewhere beyond the door the night begins to lift. I would want the audience to notice the empty seat differently by the end, even though no furniture has moved….

FLIGHT, FLAIR, AND FIRE Three strikingly different ballets showcase Dance Theatre of Harlem’s range, from classical precision to Caribbean splendor and R&B exuberance Dance Theatre of Harlem’s performance in Washington, D.C., co-presented by Washington Performing Arts, was an exhilarating celebration of artistry, culture, music, and movement.

BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP Jocelyn Bioh gives the familiar mean-girl story a funny, painful twist in a terrific Broadway production The “mean girls” trope, that group of popular girls usually led by a demanding, beautiful, powerful yet damaged girl, is at the center of many a successful entertainment.
