Theater Review: THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH (A Noise Within)
TRIUMPH OF THE WILL I love how the press notes for A Noise Within‘s stupendous revival of Thornton Wilder‘s The Skin of Our Teeth noted a quote from original director Elia Kazan: “I overheard one couple talking as they left the theater. ‘What’s it all about?’ the man complained to his wife. ‘Why, George,’ she said,…

Theater Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC (Pasadena Playhouse)
PLAYWRIGHT MARTIN CRIMP HAS A NOSE FOR UPDATES Martin Crimp’s Cyrano at the Pasadena Playhouse is nothing short of theatrical alchemy. This bold reimagining of Edmond Rostand’s beloved classic breathes new life into an age-old tale, cleverly intertwining the timeless themes of love, identity, and self-worth with a distinctly modern sensibility. Crimp’s adaptation, first brought…

Highly Recommended Theater: THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (Cygnet Theatre in San Diego)
HOT PATOOTIE, BLESS MY SOUL, I REALLY LOVE THAT ROCKY SHOW The first shock for some readers may be that there was no typo omitting the word “Picture” before “Show” in the title. Before anyone had thoughts of a movie about the gang from Transsexual Transylvania, there was the live 1973 London stage debut of…

Theater Review: ABSINTHE and SUPERFRICO RESTAURANT (Spiegelworld at Caesars Palace and Chelsea Tower)
ABSINTHE I FELL FOR YOU For a most salacious evening of “adult” delights, head on over to Absinthe at Caesar’s Palace which is surely the #1 Greatest Show in Las Vegas history (it has played to sold-out audiences since 2011).

BRIDGING FAMILY DYNAMICS IN THIS CLASSIC North Coast Rep‘s next offering, A View from the Bridge, a landmark drama from 1955, takes on new relevance today.

Theater Review: LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL (Ray of Light Theatre at San Francisco’s Victoria Theater)
LET THIS SILLY BLONDE MUSICAL ENTERTAIN YOU Post-pandemic, as the world is seemingly opening up, local theater and the arts have not rebounded. Many venues are suffering or have gone out of business. In every local theater production I have seen in The Bay Area in 2024, as soon as the curtain goes down, cast…

Theater Opening: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (Lamb’s Players Theatre in Coronado/San Diego)
WILDE-LY FUNNY SCRIPT IN GOOD HANDS Many scripts become dated after 130 years, but thanks to Oscar Wilde’s clever wit, The Importance of Being Earnest — which runs at Lamb’s Players Theatre September 14 through November 10, 2024 — just becomes more delightful and charming. In this light farce, we find two young men leading…

THIS BAT COMES OUT SWINGING Bat Boy: The Musical is finally returning to Los Angeles for a run at Morgan–Wixson Theatre in Santa Monica September 28 through October 13, 2024.

Theater Review: THE DOUBLE V (International City Theatre in Long Beach)
THE DOUBLE V GETS A DOUBLE D It’s a shame that Carole Eglash–Kosoff’s period drama The Double V is such a lackluster, overwritten, repetitive piece of didacticism. The story is one which should be told. It concerns the The Pittsburgh Courier, which served the large Black population based there. In 1942, they receive a letter from…
