Theater Review: THE SAVIORS (Atlantic Theater Company / New York)
SACRED GROUND, SHIFTING FOOTING Bubba Weiler’s quietly affecting drama finds two boys questioning far more than their faith For generations, serving as an altar boy has been one of the most visible ways young Catholics participate in the life of the Church. Altar boys assist the priest by preparing for Mass, ringing bells, burning incense,…

Theater Commentary: BROADWAY IS ONE STOP, NOT THE DESTINATION, FOR THE MODERN AMERICAN MUSICAL
Two Chicago-born musicals are rewriting the conventional wisdom about what it means for a show to succeed.

Theater Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (Commonwealth Shakespeare Company / Boston)
SOME ENCHANTMENT REQUIRED Thirty years on, Commonwealth Shakespeare still knows how to charm a crowd A lot is unknown about William Shakespeare, including the order and dates in which he wrote Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. What is clear, however, is that the two plays serve as mirrors to one another: in…

Theater Review: URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL (Ray of Light Theatre / San Francisco)
WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A PAY TOILET This irreverent musical entertains while refusing to let its audience off the hook After more than 25 years of producing fun, hip musicals all over San Francisco, Ray of Light Theatre is still in its honeymoon phase of finally having its own theater, The Barbary Stage, downtown…

Off-Broadway Preview: A GHOST IN YOUR EAR (Audible Theater / New York)
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY SOUNDS Audible Theater’s immersive headphone horror transforms the oldest ghost story trick into a chilling theatrical experience Imagine listening to an audiobook through headphones when the story begins listening back.

THE RISE OF AMERICAN ANIME IN FILM AND TELEVISION
For decades, anime reached American viewers mainly as an import: dubbed television episodes, subtitled tapes and late-night programming that felt strikingly different from domestic cartoons. Today, the exchange runs in both directions. U.S. creators draw openly from anime’s visual language, while global studios, streaming platforms and international production teams blur the old boundaries between national…

THE UNDERDOG ARC: WHY SPORTS STORIES KEEP WINNING ON STAGE AND SCREEN
Sports movies rarely feature the best team on paper, and audiences keep buying tickets anyway because the story rewards someone who was never supposed to win. Theater found the same formula long before sports movies became a genre of their own, casting boxers, coaches, and bench players in productions built around a single turn of…

WHY PLANE MOVIES STILL KNOW HOW TO BUILD SUSPENSE
Plane movies have one simple advantage. Once the aircraft is in the air, there are not many places the story can go. That sounds like a limit, but it is also why the genre works. A plane is a closed space. The passengers cannot leave. The pilot cannot pull over. If something bad happens or…

Off-Broadway Review: THE PASS (La MaMa E.T.C.)
NO PASSING THE TRUTH John Donnelly’s drama examines the devastating cost of repression, secrecy, and the life that might have been The American premiere of John Donnelly‘s The Pass (originally produced at London’s Royal Court Theatre) is smartly directed by Max Hunter, who infuses both the play and its performances with energy, theatricality, and genuine…

HOW ONLINE CASINO WELCOME OFFERS BECAME PART OF THE SHOW
There was a time when online casino welcome offers all looked more or less the same. A giant number sat at the top of the page, a timer counted down beside it, and the whole idea was simple: make the bonus look too big to ignore. That formula still exists, but people react to it…

WHY PROGRESSIVE PRIZES CONTINUE TO ATTRACT PLAYERS
Casino games have undergone a dramatic evolution over the last two decades, moving from physical levers on classic reels to complex online algorithms.

Music Review: JOE HISAISHI FILM MUSIC CONCERT (LA Phil / Hollywood Bowl)
TOO MUCH AND NOT ENOUGH Glorious music, rushed through and overproduced Joe Hisaishi, one of the world’s great living composers, was last at the Hollywood Bowl in 2023, in what I considered one of the highlights of that year. Since then, he seems to be making Los Angeles a regular stop, which has me beyond…

Theater Review: APPLAUSE (The Group Rep / Lonny Chapman Theatre / North Hollywood)
ALL ABOUT EVE… WITH JAZZ HANDS Bruce Kimmel’s affectionate revival proves that a sturdy backstage classic and a committed cast can still earn plenty of applause, even when there are reservations about the score Applause won the 1970 Tony Award for Best Musical. It was, unfortunately, a lackluster season, with the other nominees being Purlie…
