Off-Broadway Review: TRIPLE THREAT (Theatre Row)
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE In the vernacular of showbiz, the appellation “triple threat” refers to a performer who equally excels at acting, singing and dancing. That Broadway veteran James T. Lane, currently starring in his aptly named solo show Triple Threat, is deserving of this moniker is certainly not news. Mr. Lane has performed…

EQUAL OF THE SON In the new film Our Son, Gabriel (Billy Porter) and Nicky (Luke Evans) have been together for thirteen years.

Dance Preview: GISELLE (The United Ukrainian Ballet at Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa)
DANCING THROUGH WAR Costa Mesa’s Segerstrom Center, which has presented world premieres by Alexei Ratmansky for more than a decade — including American Ballet Theatre’s Of Love and Rage (2022), Whipped Cream (2017), The Sleeping Beauty (2015), and Firebird (2012) — once again proves itself as one of the country’s most exciting dance centers by presenting Ratmansky’s all-new full-length production of Giselle, appearing June…

Highly Recommended Jazz Album: EXACTLY RIGHT! (Louis Hayes)
EXACTLY RIGHT! IS, WELL, EXACTLY RIGHT What swinging, unpretentious, accessible fun! Louis Hayes‘s music is full of life and humanity. It is sometimes refreshingly simple and sometimes intricately complex, sometimes light, sometimes dark, but it is always interesting and consistently engaging. Through it all, Louis Hayes has always remained indefatigably optimistic and his latest Savant release, Exactly Right!, is…

Theater Review: NOW OR LATER (Matrix Theatre)
BETTER MAKE THAT LATER Christopher Shinn clearly understands the American consciousness. In Now or Later, a 2008 one-act which opened at the Royal Court Theatre with a fresh-faced Eddie Redmayne, he offers an engaging discussion in lieu of a play. There’s no dramatic action — characters stand around and present their point-of-view. Shinn’s play is…
-
Theater Review: A TRANSPARENT MUSICAL (World Premiere at Mark Taper Forum)
TRANSPARENT COULD ONE DAY TRANSITION FROM COCOON TO BUTTERFLY A Transparent Musical is based on the Amazon Prime TV series Transparent and written by the TV show’s creators – Joey Soloway and Faith Soloway. Yet while it features many of the same characters and themes as the TV show, this is a brand-new standalone story. Under Tina Landau‘s overwhelmed…
-
Dance Review: MEMORYHOUSE (Melissa Barak in collaboration with Los Angeles Ballet at The Broad Stage)
RESTRAINT Oh, restraint, that most pesky of virtues. We all begin our journeys with dance in the same way: with wild abandon, the freedom of children running in tutus or imitating bars of pop songs, or holding hands with our elders in a circle, stepping in a grapevine left or right. We know not restraint,…

Theater Review: THE MOUNTAINTOP (Geffen)
BECAUSE IT’S THERE What if Dr. Martin Luther King was a down-to-earth, simple, vulnerable human being like the rest of us? What if human existence could be viewed from another dimension, one that allowed the viewer to weigh the pluses and minuses of the greater good versus personal choice, or the path of one human…

Concert Review: BROADWAY IN THE PARK (Signature Theatre and Wolf Trap in Virginia)
DAZZLED BY THE STARS UNDER THE STARS The third annual Broadway in the Park, produced by Signature Theatre and Wolf Trap, showcased some of the best singing talent of the D.C. area and headlined two Broadway divas – Megan Hilty and Lea Solonga.

Theater Review: AS YOU LIKE IT (Actors Shakespeare Project in Collaboration with Theater Offensive, Balch Arena Theater at Tufts University, Medford MA)
AS WE LOVE IT Talk about chemistry! The amazing Genevieve Simon, who wowed us with a riveting performance in the title role of Coriolanus earlier this year, flirts and schemes into our hearts in the very different role of Rosalind in Actors Shakespeare Project‘s As You Like it — in collaboration with Theater Offensive, whose…

Theatre Review: SHARON (World Premiere at Cygnet Theatre in San Diego)
SUCH STRANGE GOINGS ON Cygnet Theatre’s new play Sharon is set in Everett, Washington, 90 minutes from Seattle. The time is 2019. The action is concentrated in the parlor of a dilapidated apartment building operated by a middle-aged woman named Sharon and her son Jake. This world premiere is difficult to describe further without revealing…

Dance Review: WOKE & LOVE ROCKS (Complexions Contemporary Ballet at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion)
CORTISOL ROCKSTARS I am an irreverent narrator when it comes to reviewing dance, because I delight in the mischief of disrespecting the convention of separating creation from creator. A work most interests me as either a universe in itself (for the transcendent), or, for everything else, as an expression of a human psyche – its…
-
Cabaret Review: HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD! (Billy Stritch, Carole J. Bufford and Liam Forde at Birdland)
HOORAY FOR HOORAY Most songs became standards because they were made famous by popular singers. So it’s easy to forget how many of them were introduced on the silver screen. Hooray for Hollywood!, the musical revue that made its New York debut at Birdland Theater on June 15, is a welcome reminder of the many…

Highly, Highly Recommended Album: RAYMOND SCOTT REIMAGINED (Quartet San Francisco, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band & Take 6)
GREAT SCOTT! The label Violinjazz Recordings has digitally released two tracks of Raymond Scott Reimagined (see videos below), an entirely successful new collaboration teaming Quartet San Francisco with musical polymath (and genius arranger, if I may say so) Gordon Goodwin and his Big Phat Band, plus the stunning a capella group Take 6 and The…
