Music Review: HOLIDAY SING-ALONG (LA Phil at Disney Hall)
A SING-ALONG WHERE WE DIDN’T SING ALONG WORKED OUT SWELL The matinee performance of LA Phil’s Holiday Sing-Along last Saturday was festive, kitschy and funny. Due to COVID, the concert’s annual sing-along format shifted into a fully presented performance. But truly, except for the returnee, one would ever know that it wasn’t normal that patrons…

Theater Review: TICK, TICK… BOOM! (Up Next Productions at the Thymele Arts Atlas Space)
SEASONS OF TICK, TICK… BOOM! One of the fortunate effects of the world spiraling into madness and postponing what was supposed to be Up Next Productions’ thirty-year anniversary tick, tick… BOOM!, slated for Spring 2020, is prodigious timing. The recent passing of Stephen Sondheim (a looming presence throughout the work), a year-and-change of having to…

Theater Review: THE BAND’S VISIT (National Tour)
LOST IN THE DESERT Winner of 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical of 2018, Itamar Moses’s The Band’s Visit is one of the most highly-awarded shows in musical theater history.

Review: THE NUTCRACKER SUITE (American Contemporary Ballet in Hollywood)
DON’T SEE THE NUTCRACKER SUITE — LIVE IT There are certain new concepts in theatre of which one has learned to become wary: “color-blind casting”, “gender-blind casting” and most frightening of all, “age-blind casting” are now accepted and inescapable, if often confusing for an audience attempting to discern family lineage. But as the list grows,…

Opera Review: HANSEL AND GRETEL (Pacific Opera Project)
HANSEL AND GRETEL GO POP Humperdinck began his career as an assistant to Richard Wagner; mercifully, this did not influence his composition of Hansel and Gretel, which is light and folksy throughout, and its unWagnerlike running time comes in at less than two hours.
