Dance Review: THE WINTER’S TALE (ABT at Segerstrom)
EXIT, PURSUED BY MOVEMENT THAT CUTS DEEP Jealousy doesn’t sneak in. It bursts. You can see it take hold of Leontes the second doubt flickers behind his eyes. His body folds in. Hands clutch at air. His spine locks. His stare slices across the room, scanning for proof that isn’t there. This isn’t some vague…

Theater Review: FAT HAM (San Francisco Playhouse)
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE…AND FUNNY Now playing at San Francisco Playhouse, Fat Ham is James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony-nominated riff on Hamlet—but this is no brooding royal revenge tale. Instead, it’s a vibrant, funny, and deeply human family drama set in a Southern backyard, where barbecue smoke and family secrets hang thick…
-
Off-Broadway Review: HUMPTY DUMPTY (Eric Bogosian New York Premiere at The Chain Theater)
LIFE IS LIKE A CARTON OF EGGS; YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO GET UNTIL YOU CRACK ONE OPEN How do we cope with the loss of control in a crisis? Imagine two couples (one from Manhattan, the other from Los Angeles) that meet for an idyllic winter vacation in a secluded cabin Upstate…

Broadway Review: BOOP! THE MUSICAL (Broadhurst Theatre)
HERE’S THE SCOOP ON BOOP! ENDEARINGLY CUTE, ASTUTE AND A HOOT Some things are meant to last. Cartoon character Betty Boop has been around for 95 years and has just been rejuvenated—as youthful, spirited, spunky, sprightly, spit-curled and curvy as ever. The new Broadway musical, simply called BOOP!—which opened last night at the Broadhurst Theatre—presents…

Film, Concert and Tour Review: RIGHT IN THE EYE (Alcoléa)
MOONSHOTS AND MUSICAL SAWS: MÉLIÈS GETS A MAKEOVER Georges Méliès wasn’t exactly Spielberg. He was cinema’s first mad scientist—half director, half magician, all-around agent of chaos. In the early 1900s, he wasn’t so much directing films as he was recording fever dreams: rocket ships crashing into eyeball moons, skeletons dancing Irish jigs, ghost houses with…

Theater Review: THE CAKE (The Bent, Palm Springs)
A SLICE OF LIFE WITH LAYERS OF ISSUES The Bent, Coachella Valley’s main theatre geared towards the queer community, is currently running The Cake, playwright Bekah Brunstetter’s take on the true news story about a bakery that refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. The Cake is a dramedy, with four actors generating…

FROM MONTE CARLO TO MACAO: THE FILMING LOCATIONS OF ICONIC CASINO SCENES

Theater Review: UNCLE VANYA (Shakespeare Theatre Company)
A BEAUTIFULLY SHABBY, STARKLY HUMAN TRIUMPH From the moment the house opens, Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Uncle Vanya, directed by Simon Godwin and starring Hugh Bonneville, signals that this is no ordinary Chekhov. The “pre-show” is a quietly brilliant touch: actors drift onstage, greet the audience, lace up their boots, and half-slip into character as if the…

Theater Review: CAROUSEL (Boston Lyric Opera)
A SPIRITED REVIVAL WITH DEPTH AND DISSONANCE Eighty years after Carousel had its final pre-Broadway preview at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, Boston Lyric Opera revives Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1945 classic with both nostalgia and an edge. Under the thoughtful direction of Anne Bogart and the sure baton of David Angus, this production revisits a golden-age musical…

Theater Review: SHOWSTOPPER (Gary Stockdale at Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks)
HIGH NOTES AND HARD KNOCKS: SHOWSTOPPER CHARTS THE SONGBOOK OF SURVIVAL Singer songwriter Gary Stockdale has a loyal but eclectic fan base. His long-term devotees date back to legendary TV producer Steven Bochco’s cutting-edge and sadly short-lived musical police drama Cop Rock, in which he played a drug dealer who stood before the bench and…

HARMONY OF FORTUNE: WHY GAMBLERS SHOULD TAKE A LESSON FROM FLAUTISTS?
It may seem like a stretch at first glance – the adrenaline-fueled world of the game versus the serene and disciplined art of the flute player. One thrives on chance and risk, the other on precise control and years of dedicated practice. Yet, beneath the surface, there lies a surprising number of parallels between these…

Theater Review: DON’T EAT THE MANGOS (Huntington Theatre Company at Calderwood Pavilion)
MURDER BY MANGO Ricardo Pérez González’s Don’t Eat the Mangos—a tragicomedy brimming with revelation, rage, and retribution—transforms the Calderwood stage into a site of reckoning. Directed by David Mendizábel, this gripping family drama unfurls within the walls of a Puerto Rican home, where three adult sisters contend with the burdens of caregiving, long-held grievances, and…

Concert Review: ALISA WEILERSTEIN, THOMAS LARCHER & SCHUMANN (NY Phil; Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, conductor)
A DREAM TURNS TO DARKNESS AND THEN INTO THE LIGHT At 11 AM on April 4, the NY Phil matinee cracked open with a live wire performance in a world premiere that left me breathless, if not a little rattled. Alisa Weilerstein is, without exaggeration, the most ferocious, almost feral, cellist I’ve ever seen live….

I CAN’T CAVE ENOUGH In 1917, Kentucky cave explorer Floyd Collins discovered Crystal Cave.
