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…

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…

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?
