Broadway Review: SMASH (Imperial Theatre)
MAKING THE IMPLAUSABLE APPLAUSEABLE, SMASH IS A WILD, WACKY, WONDERFUL WOW “S” is for “splashy”; “M” is for “Marilyn Monroe”; “A” is for “audience-pleasing”; “S” is for “snarky”; “H” is for “hilarious.” Put ’em all together and that’s Smash, the broad Broadway musical comedy and the story of the Broadway musical comedy within that Broadway…

Theater Review: HER PORTMANTEAU (Central Square Theater and Front Porch Arts Collaborative in Cambridge, MA)
THE THINGS THEY CARRIED The fourth episode in Mfoniso Udofia’s ambitious nine-episode Ufot Family Cycle, Her Portmanteau, takes us deeper into the fascinating story of a very specific Nigerian-American family whose struggles remain universal. Gripping performances by Patrice Jean-Baptiste, Jade Guerra, and Lorraine Victoria Kanyike create an immersive and emotionally charged one-act play that kept…

Cabaret Review: SONGBOOK SUNDAYS: RODGERS & HART (Nikki Renée Daniels, Debby Boone & Charles Turner at Dizzy’s)
You probably did not attend the opening of a Broadway revue called Garrick Gaieties, since this year of 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of that show. It presented the first Broadway production for which a certain pair of talented songwriters had contributed the full score. They’d go on to much success, creating many standards that…
-
Dance Review: AMOUR, ACIDE ET NOIX (Daniel Léveillé Dance at NYU Skirball)
THE NAKED TRUTH In Amour, Acide et Noix, Canadian choreographer Daniel Léveillé presents a stark and unflinching meditation on the human form—one that reduces dance to its most essential components. Staged on a bare black floor under austere white lighting, the 60-minute modern dance work is minimalist in both visual and choreographic design. Gone are…
-
Off-Broadway Review: SMILE (J2 Spotlight at AMT Theater)
GRINS, GOWNS, AND GRIT: A WINNING SMILE SASHAYS BACK ONSTAGE In the year 1919, the Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway featured an ode to female finery as a bevy of beauties graced the stage to the strains of the Irving Berlin song “A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody.” The next year, Congress ratified an amendment…
-
Theater Review: SHUCKED (National Tour)
IT DON’T GET MUCH CORNIER– AND THAT’S THE POINT In Shucked, the jokes fly fast as exploding kernels of popcorn in this Tony-award winning musical comedy—part Brigadoon, part Music Man, and wholly the old TV show Hee Haw (which I’ve never actually seen but instinctively recognize). Quinn VanAntwerp and Miki Abraham Jake Odmark and Mike Nappi Shucked is the…

WILL LEGENDS OF THE CONDOR USHER IN A NEW ERA OF WUXIA MOVIES?
The release of Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants early in 2025 was a huge success, as it quickly became the highest-grossing movie in the history of the wuxia genre. While this type of movie has seen significant global success in the past, could this new movie trigger a new wave of action films…

Concert Review: AN EVENING WITH T BONE BURNETT (The Town Hall in New York City)
T Bone Burnett’s intimate concert Saturday night at Town Hall was a terrific tutorial in storytelling. With T Bone’s anecdotes and voice, both nostalgic and timeless, and the musicians playing with such empathy and energy, this was an event more than a concert, with a narrative woven through the tapestry of Americana, blues, and folk. A…
-
Dance Review: VAN MANEN: DUTCH GRANDMASTER (San Francisco Ballet)
At 92, Hans van Manen remains a towering figure in European choreography—a master of form, musicality, and provocation. Van Manen: Dutch Grandmaster, San Francisco Ballet’s four-part tribute to the Dutch icon, is more than a retrospective; it’s a sensual and cerebral immersion into a choreographer whose style is at once spare and lush, abstract and…

BRINGING PERFORMERS AND FANS CLOSER: THE ROLE OF VIDEO CHAT PLATFORMS
The relationship between performers and fans has changed dramatically in recent years. What was once limited to live concerts, autograph signings, and social media interactions has now expanded into real-time, face-to-face communication. Video chat platforms have emerged as powerful tools that bridge the gap between artists and their audiences, allowing for more meaningful, interactive, and…

The Martha Graham Dance Company is back at The Joyce for its 99th season with a new dance concert titled Dances of the Mind, featuring 11 works across three programs through April 13, 2025.

Cabaret Review: MARILYN MAYE (NYC’s 54 Below)
THE NONPAREIL NONAGENARIAN REMAINS A NON-STOP WHIRLWIND OF TALENT There’s a problem with singer Marilyn Maye’s appearances. And it’s this: For reviewers, all the positive adjectives have been used up, repeated, and now seem inadequate. The one in the alliterative title of her first RCA album in the 1960s—Meet Marvelous Marilyn Maye—stuck and still applies….

Theater Review: BUTTERCUP (Intercontinental Drift at Marin Shakespeare)
A RIOTOUS ROMP Audiences are often drawn to a theatre by curiosity when an unknown play opens, particularly when the description is “The sacred, the profane, and side-splitting hilarity unite mother and daughter.” What on earth does that mean? Gianna Digregorio Inspired by Guy de Maupassant’s 1880 short story “Boule de Suif” (which translates into…

Theater Review: ARISTOTLE/ALEXANDER (Company of Angels)
Teenagers these days are out of control. They eat like pigs, they are disrespectful of adults, they interrupt and contradict their parents, and they terrorize their teachers. — Aristotle When you have endless arts options to choose from every day, you eventually develop simple, blunt, sometimes arbitrary, rules to help decide what to see. One…
-
Theater Review: HAMLET (A.C.T.’s Strand Theatre)
A rare and exhilarating theatrical event is unfolding at American Conservatory Theater’s Strand Theater: Suzy Eddie Izzard’s one-person performance of Hamlet. This is no ordinary production. It’s a singular encounter with Shakespeare’s masterpiece, filtered through the mind, wit, and boundless energy of a celebrated British comedian, actor, and self-described “action transvestite” who now goes by…
-
Theater Review: THE HEART SELLERS (TheatreWorks)
With just two actors onstage for 90 minutes, The Heart Sellers relies entirely on the chemistry, charisma, and emotional intelligence of its performers—and in TheatreWorks’s production, Nicole Javier as Luna and Narea Kang as Jane more than rise to the occasion. Under the fluid direction of Jennifer Chang, their performances are vivid, honest, and remarkably…
-
Concert Review: THE SONGS OF SIMON AND GARFUNKEL (“What Makes It Great” with Rob Kapilow; Jordan Hall in Boston)
UNPACKING THE MUSIC OF OLD FRIENDS AND ADVERSARIES Celebrity conductor and music educator Rob Kapilow provided an entertaining evening of commentary and explication in his exploration of the music of the songwriting-and-singing duo of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel last night in Jordan Hall as part of Boston’s Celebrity Series. Kapilow’s signature approach of providing…

Concert Review: CELEBRATING JOHN WILLIAMS (LA Phil)
Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic’s Celebrating John Williams concerto on April 5, 2025, as not so much a concert as it was a cultural séance in which John Williams’ scores, so deeply embedded in the American psyche, were summoned and reanimated with startling freshness. The program, filled entirely with Williams’ most iconic works, could…
