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…

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….

Highly Recommended Broadway: FLOYD COLLINS (Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center)
I CAN’T CAVE ENOUGH In 1917, Kentucky cave explorer Floyd Collins discovered Crystal Cave. Located in the same area as Mammoth Cave—the longest cave system known in the world—the site operated as a tourist attraction by his family. In 1925, while searching for a new entrance to the hundreds of miles of interconnected caves, Collins…

Opera Review: THE LISTENERS (Lyric Opera of Chicago)
LISTEN TO THE LISTENERS. DO YOU HEAR THE HUM? Perhaps the most contemporary opera ever to grace the Lyric stage, Missy Mazzoli’s The Listeners borrows heavily from reality television, social media, conspiracy theories and science fiction. Liberally sprinkled with f-bombs, Royce Vavrek’s edgy libretto is based on an original story by Jordan Tannahill (b. 1988)….

Broadway Review: GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (Palace Theatre)
SHARP AS EVER, BUT DOES IT CUT DEEP ENOUGH? OR, IF YOU WANT BIGGER SHARKS, YOU NEED MORE BLOOD IN THE WATER Glengarry Glen Ross is a testosterone-saturated 24 hours of five salesmen, some metaphorically dying like Willie Loman–others who go home at night and live, no doubt, in a shark tank. Their best sales…

Theater Review: #CHARLOTTESVILLE (Keegan Theatre in D.C.)
HAUNTING, URGENT, AND SPEAKS VOLUMES Priyanka Shetty’s #Charlottesville, currently running at the Keegan Theatre, is a searing and deeply personal exploration of one of the darkest moments in recent American history—the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Theater Review: THE WORLD GOES ‘ROUND (Lark Theater)
CELEBRATING KANDER & EBB: WHAT A LARK! In the heart of southern Marin County, Larkspur’s Lark Theater is a 1936 art deco movie house with a single screen. It required hard work, dedicated volunteers and plenty of donations from 2004 to 2007 to transform it into a state-of-the-art film and cultural center. Today, this historic…

Theater Review: SUBURBIA (Mojo Ensemble at Odyssey Theatre)
Suburbia is too close to the country to have anything real to do and too close to the city to admit you have nothing real to do. — American essayist Sloane Crosley First, I want to acknowledge the passing of Ron Sossi, Founding Artistic Director of the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, who made theatre in LA…

Theater Review: SISTER ACT (Ford’s Theater in D.C.)
BENEATH THE SCHMALTZ IS A JOYFUL NOISE Fun, uplifting, and yes, frivolous, Sister Act is a musical remake of the famously successful 1992 hit movie starring Whoopi Goldberg. The historic Ford’s Theater, which also houses a museum based on Abraham Lincoln’s legacy, is a tourist destination and is known for producing non-controversial shows for the…
