EVERYTHING TO GAINES AND NOTHING TO LOSE No, he doesn’t sing “My Funny Valentine” in his entertaining show called Love Is in the Air on the night before Valentine’s Day at Green Room 42 (repeated on the holiday itself). Nor does Davis Gaines revisit any numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, a musical in…

Theater Review: FOOL FOR LOVE (Steppenwolf Theatre)
A BRILLIANTLY BRACING LOOK AT LOVE’S OTHER SIDE Romantic love is rarely easy.

Since its 1983 debut in San Francisco, Sam Shepard’s hour-long one-act Fool for Love, written after a difficult divorce, has become a template for…

Off-Broadway Review: EMILIO’S A MILLION CHAMELEONS (SoHo Playhouse’s International Fringe Encore Theater Series)
A COLORFUL, KINETIC AND PUPPET-FILLED POW Emilio’s A Million Chameleons at Soho Playhouse offers family-friendly, fabulously frenzied fun. Like many offerings aimed at, or at least semi-targeted, to kids, it’s brief—just under an hour—but packed with energy. And that’s an understatement. But the frantic, almost unrelenting, race and pace is justified, not only catering to…
-

Theater Review: EXOTIC DEADLY: OR THE MSG PLAY (San Francisco Playhouse)
WELL-SEASONED THEATER IS LOADED WITH FLAVOR Welcome to 1999, a time of hysteria over the impending Y2K crisis, widespread fear of monosodium glutamate (MSG), crude video games and crude popular culture.

LEARNING HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE DESERT Jon Robin Baitz‘s Other Desert Cities—which opened at Cygnet Theatre last weekend—portrays about 24 hours in the upscale home of the Wyeth home in Palm Springs, California, and it’s an emotional stunner.

Theater Review: MY FAIR LADY (Palm Canyon Theatre)
THIS CLASSIC MUSICAL STILL SPARKLES By and large, I don’t understand why people are so eager to return to familiar musicals. We know that Curly and Laurie are going to get hitched and that Annie is going to enjoy a plush life with Daddy Warbucks. For that reason, I have avoided My Fair Lady for…

Theater Review: SPACE (Central Square Theater and Brit d’Arbeloff Women in Science in Cambridge, MA
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO WOMAN HAS GONE BEFORE After seeing SPACE at Central Square Theater, the line that haunted me came from Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel into space: “Rockets leave behind the thing that got them up there—their fuel tanks.” Like those fuel tanks, the first group of courageous and…
