Theater Review: JOE TURNER’S COME AND GONE (Huntington Theatre, Boston)
JOE TURNER’S HERE TO STAY Don’t let this gripping production of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone come and go without seeing it yourself. This is classic American theater essential to our collective understanding of who we are, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find moments of pleasure in this adept production. From the…

Off-Broadway Review: THE WINTER’S TALE (Bedlam)
CAUGHT BY THE TALE The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare is kind of a weird play. It’s a comedy because a pair of young lovers are united in the end but many awful things happen before these two, crazy kids can tie the knot. The King of Sicilia (Leontes) unjustly suspects his pregnant Queen (Hermione)…

Theater Review: DAMN YANKEES (Musical Theatre West)
A THREE-HOUR HOME RUN Clearly and cleanly, tried and true director Cynthia Ferrer and choreographer Alexis Carra Girbés trust the heart out of Adler and Ross’s 1955 Broadway classic, Damn Yankees.

Theater Review: BASKERVILLE (Lambs Players in Coronado)
WHEN SHERLOCK ISN’T A SURE LOCK Arguably Arthur Conan Doyle’s most successful Sherlock Holmes mystery The Hounds of the Baskervilles was actually first run as a serial from 1901-1902. It drew excited readers to pick up the next issue of London’s Strand Magazine to find out what would happen next in the dramatic story. As…

Theater Review: THE INHERITANCE (The Geffen)
WHAT WILL YOU INHERIT? That Matthew Lopez’s sprawling near-7-hour 2-part play, with 3 acts in each part, keeps us captivated is quite a feat. Beautifully written, funny, sad, and hopeful, The Inheritance — a remarkable if flawed piece of ensemble theater — is a fresh, realistic look at gay life in NYC with reflections on…
-
Off-Broadway Review: EVERYTHING’S FINE (Daryl Roth Theatre)
EVERYTHING’S OK Douglas McGrath presents as a nice, well-put together, middle-aged man. Onstage, McGrath wears a nice button-down collar shirt, stylish blazer with a matching kerchief in the pocket, nice khakis paired with nice, comfortable shoes. His thinning grey hair, cut in a nice, flattering style, tops his clean-cut look. Had he walked off-stage mid-show…

Theater Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (San Diego Musical Theatre in Kearny Mesa)
PLANT YOURSELF AT SDMT Let’s start with the fact that it’s a show about a plant that craves human blood. Oh, and there’s this nerdy botanist Seymour who raises him, whom the plant intimidates into fulfilling its needs. That shouldn’t work. That really shouldn’t work. Yet, oh, it does! The 1982 hit off-Broadway musical (based…

Broadway Review: LEOPOLDSTADT (Longacre Theatre)
AN EPIC JOURNEY TO HEAVEN AND HELL It is 1899 in Vienna, Christmas Eve to be exact, and two families, elegant and refined, are gathered together in what might be called joyous solemnity to celebrate the holiday. On Richard Hudson’s luminously dark set, candlelit to perfection by Neil Austin, they are like a painting stirred…
-
Theater Review: AUNT JACK (New Conservatory Theatre Center)
AUNTIE JACK MAME PANSEXUAL: relating to having, or open to sexual activity of many kinds. POLYAMOROUS: the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one partner with the consent of all partners involved. FLUIDITY: the quality of not being solid and able to flow.

Broadway Review: DEATH OF A SALESMAN (Hudson Theatre)
WHAT’S BEEN DONE TO DEATH What cache Arthur Miller’s 1949 classic Death of a Salesman has in terms of power and artistry, nuance, subtlety and insight, is buried by Miranda Cromwell’s ineffectual staging currently on display at the Hudson Theatre. Neither the director nor most of the cast demonstrate anything but the most superficial connection…

Theater Review: THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY (Chance Theater)
BOOM BOOM BOOM It’s no wonder that Kristoffer Diaz‘s The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in drama. The veneer is a hip-hop comic entertainment about the dynamics and crazy characters in the world of pro-wrestling (ya know, the kind where the outcome is known to the muscled performers, i.e.,…

Broadway Review: COST OF LIVING (Samuel J. Friedman Theatre)
THE COST OF MISSING THIS RAVISHING SHOW Every week in the opening sequence of the eighties television series Fame, dance instructor Lydia Grant would state without irony, “…fame costs and right here is where you start paying – in sweat.” Sweat might be the least of what a person may be called upon to pay…
