Dance Review: GISELLE (San Francisco Ballet)
DANCES OF THE DEAD BROUGHT TO STUNNING LIFE Both classic ballet and romantic fantasy, Adolphe Adam’s 1841 masterwork is for a rightly renewed reason a worthy offering by the SF Ballet. Playing the gorgeous War Memorial Opera House through Nov. 5 only, this two-hour treasure, revisioned in 1999 by former artistic director Helgi Tomasson, leaps…

Theater Review: PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE (Ruskin Group Theatre in Santa Monica)
HELP WANTED AT THE LAPIN AGILE As I wrote last Sunday in my review of Sunday in the Park with George: “art isn’t easy.” Having just now seen Picasso at the Lapin Agile, I’ll add to that Sondheim quote: “’”especially comedy.” Opening last night at The Ruskin Group Theatre in Santa Monica, this 1993 comedy…

Music Review: YUJA WANG & LANG LANG (LA Phil)
The Los Angeles Philharmonic hosted two of the most proficient and popular concert pianists this week, both of whom proved why they are considered top-tier. In an exhaustive exhibition of Rachmaninoff — four piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini — superstar pianist Yuja Wang joined Gustavo Dudamel for a two-weekend set…

Theater Review: HAROLD AND MAUDE (Group Rep at the Lonny Chapman Theatre in North Hollywood)
HAROLD AND MAUDE ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER It has been decades since I saw, or even thought about, the classic 1971 movie Harold and Maude starring Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon. Do you remember it? It’s the black comedy directed by Hal Ashby about a deadpanned death-obsessed 20-year-old who has an emotional and…

Film Review: FOUR WINTERS (directed by Julia Mintz)
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage. — Fredrich Nietzsche If you have a chance to see the engrossing, chilling, emotional Four Winters, grab it. You’ll come away with a fresh perspective on the Holocaust: Jews not as victims, but…

Theater Review: SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (Pasadena Playhouse)
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE JUST GETS BETTER WITH TIME “Art isn’t easy,” sing the cast of players in Sunday in the Park with George; the words are most notably sung by the artist-protagonist himself — or perhaps, his creator. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Sunday won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama…
-
Theater Review: SEVEN GUITARS (Actors Shakespeare Project at Hibernian Hall, Boston)
SEVEN CHEERS FOR SEVEN GUITARS The Actors Shakespeare Company’s production of Seven Guitars deserves at least seven cheers for this powerful production of August Wilson’s Pulitzer-nominated portrayal of the life and death of a promising blues guitarist. First cheer: Jon Savage‘s scenic design and Abe Joyner-Meyers‘ sound design: Entering Hibernian Hall in Boston’s Nubian…
-
Theater Review: MAGIC PEARL (Pinwheel at the Puppet Showplace Theater in Brookline, MA)
A MAGIC AFTERNOON Beautiful music (Christopher Vu, composer; Bo Jones (Lee) flute; Thomas Barth, cello, and Michael Weinfeld-Zell, percussion) and richly colored projected visuals gave a sold-out and extremely intergenerational audience a magical experience. Pinwheel, an ensemble of classically trained musicians and puppet artists, presented Magic Pearl, an adaptation by Veronica Barron, Max Gaylord, and Jones…

DANCE REVIEW: BYOULNORRI (DaEun Jung; 2023 Dance at the Odyssey)
PLAYFUL SINGULARITY DaEun Jung‘s Byoulnorri closes Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s dance festival, 2023 Dance at the Odyssey, with playful austerity. The hour-long concert is performed in two parts, Byoul (별): “star,” a solo performance by the Choreographer herself, and Norri (놀씴): “play’, a four men ensemble work. DaEun Jung, a trained performer of Korean traditional dance,…

Off-Broadway Review: THE WANDERERS (Roundabout Theatre Company at Laura Pels Theater)
WANDERING WRITING The Wanderers, the new play by Anna Ziegler (Boy, A Delicate Ship, The Last Match, Another Way Home) now making its New York premiere with The Roundabout Theatre Company, comprises three intersecting stories. The first story takes place in the past. It’s about the marriage of orthodox Jews Schmuli (Dave Klasko) and Esther…

Theater Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (A Noise Within in Pasadena)
SWINGTIME SHAKESPEARE Everyone will make much ado about Guillermo Cienfuego‘s delightful take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, which opened last weekend at A Noise Within. This comedy has it all: sparring partners, deceit, mistaken identities, many overheard conversations, love, and my favorite comedic character in all of Shakespeare: Dogberry, a pompous, scattered constable who…
-
Art Recommendation: NJIDEKA AKUNYILI CROSBY (The Hilton Als Series at The Huntington)
As spring approaches, it’s a wonderful time to walk about Huntington’s Botanical Gardens.

And starting today, Huntington’s Art Museum will display a selection of five works by Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist Njideka…

Theater Review: NIMROD (Theatre of NOTE)
THIS JOYOUS TRIUMPH IS LIKE A PIG IN SHIT Mixed with the contradictory language of William Shakespeare and Trump-speak, Nimrod is a gut-busting, refreshing, sharp, irreverent, and often cacophonous satirical play delivered by a big, superbly talented cast at Theatre of NOTE. Phinneas Kiyomura is The Bard of our time — writing in the form…

Theater Review: THE FIRST DEEP BREATH (Geffen)
WAITING TO EXHALE Getting its West Coast Premiere at the Geffen Playhouse’s mainstage Gil Cates Theater, The First Deep Breath, a 2019 play by Lee Edward Colston II, is an overstuffed family drama that left me wanting : less.
