Theater Interview: JOEY PANTOLIANO (currently performing in Off-Broadway’s ROCK & ROLL MAN)
AN ACTOR WHO WILL CHARM THE JOEY PANTS OFF YOU Joe Pantoliano, affectionately nicknamed Joey Pants, has a recognizable face and voice from decades of TV and film — too many to mention, but perhaps the most notable include The Goonies, La Bamba, Empire of the Sun, Midnight Run, The Fugitive, Bad Boys, Bound, U.S….

Theater Review: PASSENGERS (Old Globe in San Diego)
THESE PASSENGERS WON’T STAY IN THEIR SEATS! Die-hard fans of So You Think You Can Dance get to know their choreographers. For me, there was Sonya Tayeh (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) : and then there was everyone else. Her startling juxtapositions, demanding symmetry, and physical boundary pushing was unmatched by others. Until now. Now, there…

Theater Review: FUN HOME (Studio Theatre in D.C.)
WATCHING THIS MAY NOT ALWAYS BE FUN, BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE HOME Fun Home, which opened yesterday at Studio Theatre, will likely touch even the most cynical of hearts. Deep but never sappy, it’s full of multi-level contradictions within its characters, themes, and plot. Under David Muse‘s sensitive, fluid direction, a cast of strong…

NY Cabaret Review: PHANTOMS OF THE CABARET (Artemisia LeFay)
MAY ARTEMISIA LEFAY HAUNT EVERY CABARET IN TOWN With two cabaret shows under her belt, Ghosts of Weimar Past and Phantoms of the Cabaret, it’s easy to think Artemisia LeFay has an obsession with otherworldly beings. But at the beginning of the latter show, which she performed at Don’t Tell Mama last Friday June 30,…

Dance Review and Commentary: GISELLE (United Ukrainian Ballet, West Coast Premiere)
PETIPA AND POLITICS In college I took one of those life-changing, niche courses that liberal arts schools like to put on their brochures, called Dancing the State: Dance and the Political. In it, we watched Ballet Folklórico de México and dissected how its aesthetics were used in the construction of the Mexican statehood project. We…

Theater Review: EVITA (American Rep in association with Shakespeare Theatre Company in Cambridge MA)

Opera Concert Review: AN EVENING WITH RENÉE FLEMING (Dorothy Chandler Pavilion)
SUBLIME STORYTELLING IN SONG At the start of this event a voice reminded us to silence our cell phones and to refrain from talking or singing along. Lucky for the crowd I don’t know the lyrics to Penelope, the vocal-theatrical work by composer André Previn and playwright Tom Stoppard. Few would as this is the…

Broadway Review: ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME (Marquis Theatre)
YES, ONE MORE TIME IS ONE MORE TIME ONE MORE TIME, BUT YOU’LL HAVE A GREAT TIME It well may be that there are no new plots left in the world of theater. But does that mean we have to keep seeing playwrights rewriting and directors reworking what other minds have created? In the past…

Theater Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY (Huntington Theatre, Boston MA)
AMAZING THEATER? BANK ON IT Steven Skybell (Henry Lehman), Joshua David Robinson (Emanuel Lehman), and Firdous Bamji (Mayer Lehman) absolutely stunned in the the first American-made production of The Lehman Trilogy, which opened at The Huntington last week. They slipped in and out of multiple roles, including babies, toddlers, men of diverse ethnic and regional…
-
Theater Review: A CHORUS LINE (SF Playhouse)
THE MUSICAL WITH LEGS San Francisco Playhouse‘s exuberant, high-kicking production of A Chorus Line proves that the musical is as fresh as the day it appeared almost fifty years ago, when the standard Broadway musical was already fading away, making room for the jukebox musicals and mostly hollow spectacles we are still forced to endure….

Opera Review: MADAME BUTTERFLY (SF Opera)
THIS BUTTERFLY FINDS ITS WINGS It’s 1904. US naval officer Lt. Pinkerton (Moisés Salazar) is seeing the world in the name of war and pleasure.

Concert Review: UNAMERICANS: TALENTED AND TARGETED (MUSE/IQUE at Huntington and Skirball)
TESTIFY This past weekend, the patrons at MUSE/IQUE were told some hard truths about what America was like during the mid-20th century as the powers that be feared far-left movements and those who embraced, or were suspected to embrace, ideologies like communism and socialism.

Broadway Review: SWEENEY TODD (Lunt-Fontanne)
A NOT-SO-DEMON BARBER ON INCOHESIVE STREET Annaleigh Ashford’s thoroughly delightful and sympathetic portrayal of Mrs. Lovett, the good-humored but sinister piemaker is, unfortunately, one of the few compelling elements in Thomas Kail’s lackluster revival of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the 1979 Stephen Sondheim musical, with book by Hugh Wheeler based on…
