Theater Review: STAND UP IF YOU’RE HERE TONIGHT (Huntington Theatre in Boston, MA)
A MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING “When the curtain is down, and it’s three minutes before the show, what’re you wishing for?” playwright John Kolvenbach wondered as he wrote Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight. He kept asking that question and many others as director of what at first appears to be a one-man show (Jim…

Broadway Review: DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES (Studio 54)
LET’S RAISE OUR GLASSES AND CHEER DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES There is an old Irish proverb that goes “A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, the drink takes the man.” Based on a JP Miller’s 1958 play, and the brilliant 1962 film adaptation directed by Blake Edwards, Days of Wine and…

Theater Review: A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD (SpeakEasy Stage Company in Boston)
A CASE FOR SEEING THIS PLAY Toward the end of A Case for the Existence of God (named Best Play of the 21–22 Season by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle), I tried to recall what I had learned in grad school about Aristotle and his theory of catharsis. Full disclosure: I had to look…
-
Theater Review: KOOZA (Cirque du Soleil — International Tour in San Francisco and San Jose)
KOOZA RETURNS TO THE CITY OF ITS 2007 U.S. PREMIERE Circuses since the 19th century conjure up images of clowns, fire eaters, men walking on stilts and lion tamers with jungle felines jumping through flaming hoops. The sexy girl in the sparkling bustier riding atop the elephants around in a circle is the quintessential image…

Theater Review: OUTSIDE MULLINGAR (Lamb’s Players Theatre in San Diego/Coronado)
DUBLIN YOUR PLEASURE WITH GOOD DRAMA AND COMEDY With a somewhat-forgettable title and a rather vague plot summary on the website, one walks into Outside Mullingar not quite sure what they are going to see. By the end of the first scene of this 95-minute one-act play, one could still be wondering: “Is this going…

Off-Broadway Review: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS (Encores! at New York City Center)
A MATTRESS THAT REVIVES AND RENEWS When Encores! announced Once Upon a Mattress as part of their season’s concert series reviving American musicals, my first thought: Does this nutty chestnut need reviving? After all, there have been numerous in-your-neighborhood productions (for decades, Mattress was one of the most-produced musicals in high schools, colleges, and community…

Cabaret Review: CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ – JESSICA VOSK (Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa)
DREAMY DREAMIN’ In the shimmering galaxy of cabaret, few stars under the twilight of retirement sparkle with the vivacity and brilliance of Jessica Vosk, who, at 40, is the real deal. Her latest foray onto the stage, California Dreamin: Jessica Vosk Sings the Songwriters of Laurel Canyon, which played last night at Segerstrom Concert Hall,…

Dance Review: SOL INVICTUS (Compagnie Hervé KOUBI at The Joyce Theater)
HEART AND SOL A man perambulates around the stage, sunlight dancing on his bare chest or back, depending which way he faces. Then, the sun disappears, and in the plain, unnuanced light, the rest of the dancers of Compagnie Hervé KOUBI – eighteen in total – begin: Flip. Handspring. Cartwheel. Flip. Handspring. Cartwheel. Repeat. The dancers…

Theater Review: CABARET (CVRep in Cathedral City)
Cabaret was and remains one of the boldest and most innovative experiments in the history of musical theater, a ravishing work that has neither lost its power nor its pertinence no matter what one does with it. (If you think you’ve seen Cabaret because you saw the movie, you don’t know this show.) With a book by Joe Masteroff, music…
-
Off-Broadway Review: OUR CLASS (Fisher Fishman Space at BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music)
STAGED AT AN EMOTIONAL DISTANCE, OUR CLASS IS A HARROWING REMINDER OF ONGOING ANTISEMITISM At a recent viewing of Joshua Harmon’s Broadway play Prayer for the French Republic, French Jews no longer feel safe with the overt antisemitism in Paris and ultimately ask themselves, “Why do they hate us?” In Our Class by Tadeusz SŠ‚obodzianek…

Theater Review: SORDID LIVES (Palm Canyon Theatre in Palm Springs)
HEARTBREAK AND HILARITY IN FULL DISPLAY Palm Canyon Theater has launched into 2024 with a revival of Del Shores’ uproarious and heartfelt Sordid Lives. The playwright himself introduced the show on Saturday evening, graciously acknowledging Palm Springs and recognizing the city’s integral role in the tremendous success of both the play and the movie adaptation….

Album Review: HARMONY (Original Broadway Cast)
While I’m wrecked that Harmony is closing on Broadway February 5, 2024 after only 96 performances, the music, fortunately, still lives on with the Original Cast recording from Ghostlight Records, available on CD today, Friday, January 26 (also available on digital platforms). A special bonus track exclusive to the CD, “Where Does the Time Go?,” performed by Barry Manilow,…
