Book Recommendation: I’LL DRINK TO THAT! BROADWAY’S LEGENDARY STARS, CLASSIC SHOWS, AND THE COCKTAILS THEY INSPIRED (Laurence Maslon, Author; Joan Marcus, Photographer)
CHEERS! If there’s anything better than a cocktail before or after a Broadway show, it’s a cocktail in a Broadway show. So, I’d like to propose a toast … slide your coffee table book to the side (mine is of Broadway posters), and make room for that new cocktail table book: I’ll Drink to That!,…

Theater Review: ASSASSINS (Long Beach Landmark Theatre, First Congregational Church of Long Beach)
ASSASSINS SINGS! BUT THE COMPEXITY OF ITS THEMES GO MISSING ALONG WITH THE GUNS Assassins, with music and lyrics by the late Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman, opened Off-Broadway at the Playwrights Horizon in the winter of 1990 and played seventy-three performances.

Theater Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA: PART ONE (Bedlam and Central Square Theater in Cambridge, MA)
THE MILLENNIUM HAS COME AND GONE, BUT THE THEMES REMAIN THE SAME Central Square Theater’s collaboration with Bedlam of Tony Kushner’s still-relevant masterpiece Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is thrilling. Despite the three-hour run time, the intensity of Part One: Millennium Approaches is inspiring and moving. The acting is terrific. Eddie Shields…

Cabaret Review: NO ONE IS ALONE: MELISSA ERRICO REMEMBERS STEPHEN SONDHEIM (CVRep)
ISN’T IT BLISS? Striding onto the CVRep stage last night, Broadway star Melissa Errico, in a black dress draped in silver sequins, dazzled the eyes looking as if she had just stepped off of the steps of a recent Met Gala in New York. Over the next 90 minutes, she dazzled the ears as well….
-
Theater Review: JOY & PANDEMIC (Huntington Theatre Company in Boston)
FAITH, HOPE AND SCIENCE I found myself thinking of Henrik Ibsen and Lucille Ball as I watched this world premiere of acclaimed playwright and performance artist Taylor Mac. Ibsen and Ball are not two names normally associated in my mind, but the early twentieth-century interior setting (Philadelphia, not Norway) — in which the commanding figure…
-
Broadway Review: THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN’S WINDOW (James Earl Jones Theatre)
A GOOD SIGN FOR BROADWAY First-rate performances and Anne Kaufman’s near-flawless direction work well to conceal the few shortcomings in Lorraine Hansberry’s thoughtful and compelling The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, making this revival — which recently moved from BAM to Broadway’s James Earl Jones Theater — rich with energy, emotion and life. Ms. Kaufman’s dynamic…
-
Broadway Review: NEW YORK, NEW YORK — A NEW MUSICAL (St. James Theatre)
NEW YORK, NEW YORK SOARS ABOVE ITS OWN MATERIAL So apparently it’s still up to you New York — with a healthy assist from Susan Stroman and Lin-Manuel Miranda – to bring Martin Scorsese’s underrated 1977 film New York, New York to Broadway. But this new production, New York, New York – A New Musical,…
-
Theater Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC (Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena)
A LUMINOUS NIGHT MUSIC I’m a little dizzy, bubbly’”not from any reception champagne, mind you, but from seeing my very first production of A Little Night Music. It’s left me floating. (The music, I confess, is still coursing through me; I hope they don’t ask for it back.) With its 20 cast members and 22-piece…
-
Broadway Review: SUMMER, 1976 (Manhattan Theatre Club at Samuel J. Friedman)
A WARM SUMMER From the moment we first see Diana (Laura Linney) and Alice (Jessica Hecht), the two friends whose story is told in David Auburn’s new play, Summer, 1976, we know exactly who they are. Diana is dressed in a sleek black top and pants; Alice wears a light peasant dress. The two women…

Music Review: PAUL JACOBS, ORGAN (Six Trio Sonatas of J.S. Bach at Disney Hall)
JACOBS’ LADDER TO HEAVEN Courtesy of the LA Phil, the awesome organist Paul Jacobs came to Disney Hall on April 16 to delight us with a most exquisite rendition of the famous Six Trio Sonatas of J.S. Bach, BWV525-530. With a charming sense of humor, he addressed the audience with his vast knowledge, peaking our…

Theater Review: THE REALISTIC JONESES (Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach)
NOTHING IS MORE REAL THAN NOTHING — Samuel Beckett Dramatist Will Eno doesn’t make it easy on the audience in his 2012 play The Realistic Joneses at the Laguna Playhouse.

Theater Review: BOYS IN THE BAND (The Bent at Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs)

Artistic Director Steve Rosenbaum and Managing Director Terry Ray moved quickly to fill…
-
Theater Review: COLEMAN ’72 (South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa)
A LOVE LETTER TO AN IMMIGRANT FATHER Coleman ’72 is getting a fantastic world premiere production from South Coast Repertory. It is a melodrama about nostalgia, the immigrant experience, cross-generational trauma, and familial love. Told through the unreliable accounts of three siblings, this trip down memory lane brings up complicated family dynamics between each sibling…
-
Theater Review: SCINTILLA (Road Theatre Company)
SCINTILLATING Every generation has its gap. Currently millennials are annoyed that baby boomers wrecked the planet and baby boomers are annoyed that millennials are, well, annoying. Add to the mix the annoying offspring who see their role as having to be the boss of an aging parent and you have the ingredients for the new…

Concert Review: INVOCATIONS (Serj Tankian at The Soraya, Cal State Northridge)
A SURGE OF SERJ Serj Tankian, a world-class musician, peace activist, and frontman of Grammy-winning nu-metal band System of Down, had the mixed crowd — metal T-shirts, ripped jeans, and dress-up — buzzing with excitement. Tankian is also an alumnus of Cal State University, Northridge, the home of The Soraya. The homecoming last Saturday April…

Recommended Theater: A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD (Morgan-Wixson Theatre Youth Production)
HOP INTO SPRING Friendship is among the hardest subjects to parse, but this musical based on Arnold Lobel’s “Frog and Toad” stories, considers friendship warts and all.
