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.

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.
