Highly Recommended Cabaret: MEOW MEOW: FELINE FESTIVE HOLIDAY (The Wallis, Beverly Hills, & Stanford U)
SANTA’S FUR IS GONNA FLY WITH MEOW MEOW’S FELINE FESTIVE HOLIDAY When you hear the words “performance art,” do you envision a motionless Marina Abramović allowing a 10-foot boa constrictor to wrap itself around her head?

Highly Recommended Cabaret: MARVELOUS: AN EVENING WITH MARILYN MAYE (Hollywood’s Catalina Bar & Grill, Palm Springs’ The Purple Room, NYC’s Birdland)
Adore, adore, adore her. You have to believe me — at 95, the great Marilyn Maye simply enchants, and holds the room in the palm of her hand. Very, very few cabaret performers have this ability (my top three are Eartha Kitt, Elaine Stritch and Ms. Maye). She recently had a sold-out show at Carnegie…

Off-Broadway Review: LIFE AND TRUST (Emursive in Conwell Tower, Manhattan’s Financial District)
PUT YOUR LIFE AND TRUST INTO THE HANDS OF LIFE AND TRUST There is a daunting immersive theater experience in Manhattan’s Financial District that is also somehow prophetic.

Theater Review: HENRY IV, PARTS 1 and 2 (The Porters of Hellsgate in North Hollywood)
THE PORTERS SHARE WITH US IN GLORY HENRY IV There is a danger of critical indulgence when considering a company like the Porters of Hellsgate; their ambition to produce all of Shakespeare’s canon (which they’ve nearly accomplished – four plays remain) is laudable and exceptional, such that there is a temptation to simply approve each…

Dance Review: COMPLEXIONS CONTEMPORARY BALLET 30TH CELEBRATION (Program B at The Joyce)
I’M NOT SAYING I’M OUT FOR BLOOD, BUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD… As four spry dancers emerged through the hazy illumination, I wanted to believe their forms could transport me into their dusty hollow desert.

Theater Review: GALILEO’S DAUGHTER (Central Square Theater and WAM Theatre in Cambridge, MA
