Theater Review: SHINERS (Woolworth Theatre in Nashville)
CIRQUE DU WICKS SALOON REVUE Booze, mostly respectable eye candy, and the music turned up. That’s downtown Nashville in a nutshell. Until recently, Broadway (not The Great White Way, but the iconic southern thoroughfare) was replete with these three in the historical honky tonk bars that vibrated with live country and western tunes of Roger…

Off-Broadway Review: SWING STATE (Audible Theater at Minetta Lane Theatre)
SWING…AND MISS The Chicago Tribune review of Swing State, as advertised on the production poster, charged me with excitement in seeing Rebecca Gilman’s new play. “Perhaps the first of the great American plays of this decade. It blew me away!” Well, I wish I had that same experience. Mary Beth Fisher and Bubba Weiler The…

Off-Broadway Review: BEST FRIENDS (14Y Theater)
‘CAUSE YOU GOT TO HAVE FRIENDS Israeli playwright Anat Gov’s Best Friends comes to the 14th Street Y with an impressive history.

Theater Review: DOUBT: A PARABLE (New Village Arts Center in Carlsbad Village)
DON’T DOUBT THIS PRODUCTION John Patrick Shanley‘s drama Doubt: A Parable opened in New York City in 2004 and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2005. As evidenced by New Village Arts‘ production, which opened at the Conrad Prebys Theatre last weekend, twenty years after its premiere it still ranks among the most stirring…

Music Review: STRAVINSKY AND SHOSTAKOVICH WITH DUDAMEL (Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason; Conductor Gustavo Dudamel; LA Phil at Disney Hall)
AN UNEQUIVACABLE TRIUMPH FOR LA PHIL… AND MY MOTHER The strains of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 have forever held a special place in my heart. It is a sentimentality rooted in a rather extraordinary moment of my own origin, an occurrence forever entwined with the ethereal melodies of this masterpiece. On that fateful December…

Dance Review: HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO (Ahmanson Theatre)
SHOTA MYOSHI THRILLS WITH STREET PERFORMANCE The Chicago veteran contemporary dance company, one of America’s finest, doesn’t disappoint in a dancey triple bill at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles. Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s Triple Bill last Friday consisted of a variety of styles. The first piece, Aszure Barton’s Busk (2009) is a genre-bending contemporary piece,…

Theater Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY (San Diego Musical Theatre)
ALTOGETHER OOKEY GOOD FUN When American cartoonist Charles Addams started drawing a family of moderately harmless ghoulish folks for The New Yorker in 1938, how could he have expected them to gain huge fame in the world of television (as there was no TV) and multiple films. And he certainly would have been amazed if…

Event | Music Review: 66th MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL (September 22-24, 2023)
With five stages going strong, the 66th Monterey Jazz Festival was in full swing September 22-24, 2023. And I do mean “swing”! As if to celebrate Artistic Director Tim Jackson, who steps down as artistic director after 33 years, the crowd socialized like it was a block party. With a superb combination of old-school pros…

Dance Review: GRAHAM100–AMERICAN LEGACIES (Martha Graham Dance Company at The Soraya)
A SHOWCASE OF HISTORY, AMERICANISM AND HUMOR And An American Classic, Polished and Gleaming For readers not familiar with the modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, I would sum up her contribution in one word: contractions. No, I’m not referring to pre-birth convulsions; Martha Graham technique, in contrast to ballet, is based on “contraction of the…

Theater Review: BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA (Odyssey Theatre Ensemble)
A FEATHER IN ARYE GROSS’S CAP Playwright Anna Ouyang Moench uses the setting of a wooded area — beautifully designed at Odyssey Theatre by Mark Guirguis — as the backdrop of this beautiful family drama. The father, John (Arye Gross), is just about equally bound to his liberal and earth-loving principles, his love of bird-watching, and…

Theater Review: FOLLIES (Musical Theatre Guild)
A FULFILLING FOLLIES One night? I mean, ONE night? Then again, the reunion in Follies we witness takes place on one night as well. And for those at said reunion and those of us lucky enough to be at Musical Theatre Guild‘s staged concert performance of Follies last Sunday, it was a night to remember….

Highly Recommended Concert: FRAGMENTS 2 (Alisa Weilerstein, cellist; presented by La Jolla Music Society and the San Diego Symphony)
I have been following Alisa Weilerstein for over fifteen years, but until about five ago it was only on recordings and YouTube. Having seen her perform live four times since I can assert that the phenomenal American cellist has attracted attention worldwide because her playing combines a natural virtuosic command and technical precision with impassioned…

Theater Review: THE TRAVELERS (Latino Theatre Co. & Magic Theatre at the Los Angeles Theater Center)
WHY ARE THE TRAVELERS NOT MOVING? The calendar listings for Luis Alfaro‘s The Travelers, currently playing at the Los Angeles Theatre Center, say “We are all travelers, Brother. Our journeys take place inside.” The trouble is that journeys presented on the stage should not only be inside, but also aesthetical and active and must be treated…

Highly Recommended Concert: BEETHOVEN’S NINTH (Boston Baroque)
Ludwig van Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 9 is not only Beethoven’s final complete symphony but also one of his most well-known works. The piece’s fourth movement includes adapted text from “Ode to Joy,” a poem by Friedrich Schiller, and Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” melody has become a popular humanist anthem (so catchy it was used as the theme for…

His journey into the world of opera is nothing short of remarkable, marked by a childhood infused with musical influences.
