Theater Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD (North Coast Rep in Solana Beach/San Diego)
LIFE AIN’T JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES IN 1903 RUSSIA Written and set in 1903 Russia, Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard would be the master playwright’s final creation. Unless one already has knowledge of that time and place, the play — even with North Coast Rep‘s superlative production — becomes much easier to understand and…

Theater Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Desert Theatricals in Rancho Mirage)
A REAL BEAUTY Desert Theatricals’ line-up for next season is exciting, but there was nothing more thrilling than being in an audience filled with awe-struck children to witness this magical production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It was a smash on Broadway in 1994 and it remains a smash in 2023, as corroborated by…

Off-Broadway Review: THE HUNTING GUN (Baryshnikov Arts Center)
NOW AND ZEN Coming out of the Baryshnikov Arts Center after watching its current offering The Hunting Gun, I overheard a woman ask her husband what he thought of the show. Good, but long, he said, which pretty much mirrored my reaction to this mostly Japanese-language production based on the novella by Yasushi Inoue. Adapted…
-
Off-Broadway Opening: HERE WE ARE (Final Musical by Stephen Sondheim at The Shed’s Griffin Theater)
A NEW SONDHEIM MUSICAL ANNOUNCED; LET THE PRAYERS TO THE THEATER GODS COMMENCE. A few months before he passed, Stephen Sondheim told Stephen Colbert during an interview that he was working on a show. And here I thought that the musical he was writing with David Ives known as Square One had been scrapped. Not so,…

Original Broadway Cast Recording: KPOP (Single Release: “SUPER STAR” | OBC Album releases May 8)
NEW TRACK FEATURES VOCALS BY KPOP ICON LUNA & COMPANY LISTEN HERE WATCH THE VIDEO PREORDER & PRESAVE THE ALBUM HERE Well, we all know it happens. For whatever reasons, a show flops on Broadway, yet leaves behind a magical score. I suppose the producers imagined throngs of KPOP lovers would keep the show running for…

Theater Review: K-I-S-S-I-N-G (Huntington Theatre Company in Boston)
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Poet, screenwriter, and performer Lenelle Moïse (pronounced Len-EL Moy-EEZ) is a playwright for this co-production from The Front Porch Arts Collective and The Huntington, the latter of which is staging the charming and engaging K-I-S-S-I-N-G, a romantic comedy chockablock with originality. Drawing on Moïse’s experiences of growing up in Cambridge, the play opens with…
-
Off-Broadway Review: PERICLES (Target Margin Theater’s THE DOXSEE)
PERFORMERS AND PRODUCTION PUMP UP THE OPAQUE PLOT OF PERICLES Pericles by William Shakespeare is a play that is probably ripe for an HBO adaptation. It deals with incest, death, redemption, palaces, brothels, lies, scheming mothers, weak fathers, assassins, purity, evil, pirates, kings, storms, princes, magic, Divine intervention, threatened rape and some very convenient coincidences….
-
Theater Opening: Noël Coward’s THE VORTEX (Chichester Festival Theatre)
GET CAUGHT IN THIS VORTEX Opening the Chichester Festival Theatre 2023 season is a tantalisingly decadent production of The Vortex by Noël Coward – his first big commercial hit that he also starred in himself. For tickets and more info on the season (which includes a revival of Sondheim’s Assassins), visit CFT. The central relationship is that of…
-
Broadway Photo Flash: LIFE OF PI (Gerald Schoenfeld)
HAVE A PIECE OF PI Based on one of the best-loved works of fiction – winner of the Man Booker Prize, selling over fifteen million copies worldwide – Yann Martel’s best-selling novel Life of Pi is now Lolita Chakrabarti’s dazzling, breath-taking new theatrical adaptation of an epic journey of endurance and hope: After a cargo…

Theater Review: ONCE (Laguna Playhouse)
ONCE UPON AN AMAZING TIME Good theater allows audiences to see the world from the eyes of the creators. In this triumphant production of Once, which opened last night March 12 at Laguna Playhouse, we are invited into the world of a downtrodden buttery-voiced Irish man and a struggling single immigrant mother. A whirlwind of…

Off-Broadway Review: THE COAST STARLIGHT (Lincoln Center Theater at the Mitzi E. Newhouse)
ON AND OFF THE RIGHT TRACK Ever been on public transportation and wondered about the people seated around you? Not just whether or not they are nut-jobs or pose any physical threat but who they really are? What they are dealing with? What you would say to them? Could they one day be a friend?…

Off-Off-Broadway Review: THE ART OF KILLIN’ IT (Future Proof in East Williamsburg)
LETTER FROM ONE INDUSTRY INSIDER TO ANOTHER Hullo Mick. Lady Antoinette here. Boy, I gotta thank you for inviting me to Jordon Waters and Stephanie Marrow‘s label influencer/release party the other night. I got your text that you weren’t feeling well (read: too much coke and booze) and couldn’t show up. Normally, I detest these…

Off-Broadway Review: ENDGAME (Irish Repertory; Extended to April 16, 2023)
IT WOULD BE ABSURD TO MISS THIS THEATER In Endgame, the end of the world is upon us. But so, too, is the end of Ciarán O’Reilly’s superlative production at Irish Rep, which has been extended to — and must close — April 16, 2023. Four characters inhabit a squalid little room where the blind and…

Recommended Book: GIVE MY REGARDS TO NOWHERE (Richard Engling, Polarity Ensemble Books)
BACKSTAGE COMEDIC CAPERS Chicago “storefront” theaters have produced some of the most amazing productions that I have ever seen. Usually started by a ragtag group of friends or a brave individual to experiment and produce works on a budget, some companies move forward to Actors’ Equity status (Steppenwolf, Steep), or have a great run only…

Highly Recommended Cabaret: LILLIAS WHITE WITH SETH RUDETSKY (The Wallis in Beverly Hills)
