INTERCONNECTEDNESS: A WAY OF SURVIVAL Recently, at Theater for the New City on the lower eastside of Manhattan, Executive Artistic Director Crystal Field and AMERINDA (American Indian Artists, Inc.) produced a Native American adaptation of the Greek tragedy The Trojan Women by Euripides. Since its inception in 1987, the mission statement of AMERINDA, as stated…

New York Theater: 75TH ANNUAL TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS
75TH ANNUAL TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS This year’s Tony nominees were announced this morning. I must say, it’s difficult to argue with the majority of the noms. As usual, it seems that some of the very best performances and a few designers were egregiously omitted, and that a few shows got the lion’s share of nom-nods,…

Off-Broadway Review: TWO BY SYNGE (Irish Rep)
NOT ONLY SHOULD THESE ACTORS BE ON BROADWAY, THEY CAN BE HEARD ON BROADWAY The faces of the actors featured in J.M. Synge’s two one-act plays at the reputable Irish Repertory Theatre are a delight to watch. With Artistic Director Charlotte Moore at the helm, her cast brings to life the rarely seen The Tinker’s…

Theater Review: AFTERGLOW (Hudson Theatre in Hollywood)
SKIN DEEP As I made my way through a gaggle of gay-listers to see “Los Angeles’s steamiest show” at the Hudson Theatre in Los Angeles, that’s when I saw it – yet missed it completely – right there on the play’s poster. The advert for Afterglow features three beautiful, bare-chested men holding each other in…

Extras: HOW A GOOD-LOOKING POSTER CAN BRING VIEWERS TO YOUR PROJECT
Capturing the Imagination Once you capture the imagination, your next step is to hold it hostage against the “ransom” of a ticket purchased for your event. Okay, that’s a tongue-in-cheek explanation of what “capture the imagination” means as a phrase, but you get the idea. When you have someone’s imagination in your grip, you’re likely…

Extras: THE CASINO GAMES MOST COMMONLY FEATURED IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES
The casino games most commonly featured in Hollywood movies Hollywood and casinos have a long history. After all, casinos provide the perfect backdrop to fast-paced, high-adrenaline films. With their glamorous settings and high-stakes games, it’s no wonder Hollywood has had a long fascination with casinos. Not to mention, there are countless films dedicated to casinos…

Off-Broadway Review: ¡AMERICANO! (New World Stages)
AS ¡AMERICANO! AS APPLE PIE The Merriam-Webster dictionary (remember dictionaries?) lists two definitions for the word dreamer. The first is simply “one that dreams.” The second definition is “a person living in the United States without legal status who arrived as the child of someone who did not have the documentation required for legal entry…

Music Review: NAS WITH THE LA PHIL (Disney Hall)
THE WIZARD OF NAS While the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its chief conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, are no strangers to fronting pop and hip hop stars at the Hollywood Bowl, these genre-melding collaborations are not a typical programming staple in the Phil’s school-year digs on Grand Avenue in Downtown L.A. But on the first night of…
-
Music Review: DUDAMEL LEADS ADÈS’S “DANTE” (Disney Hall)
DO NOT ABANDON HOPE; THIS GENERATION’S STRAVINSKY HAS ARRIVED I have great tidings, for English composer Thomas Adès has bestowed on us what is easily one of the greatest works of the twenty-first century. Under the aegis of its Gen X festival, LA Phil premiered his huge symphonic fantasia, Dante, last weekend at Disney Hall,…

Theater Review: ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (Chicago Shakes)
HARRIED HAPPENINGS AT NAVY PIER A rarely produced dark comedy from the annals of William Shakespeare’s folio is ushering in springtime at Navy Pier. All’s Well That Ends Well might not have the popularity or recognizability of titles like Romeo and Juliet or Othello, but the dark comedy is certainly high energy silliness. Director Shana Cooper keeps the pace…

Dance Review: ROMÉO ET JULIETTE / ROMEO AND JULIET (Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo)
MAILLOT, MAIS OUI Les Ballets de Monte Carlo made a rare appearance in Southern California on April 15-17, 2022, with four performances of Roméo et Juliette, Jean-Christophe Maillot’s innovative 1996 version of Sergei Prokofiev’s iconic ballet, performed at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. In Maillot’s retelling, William Shakespeare’s tale of star-crossed lovers is presented…

WILD UP’S NEW HOME-BASED SERIES, LOS ANGELES NEW MUSIC, PLAYS MAY 15 – JULY 10, 2022 “For a decade, we’ve been exporting LA culture.

Music Review: EMANCIPATION (Adrian Dunn World Premiere at the Harris Theater, Chicago)
CLASSICAL BLACK MUSIC MATTERS One of the really fantastic aspects of being a critic is discovering “new to me” talent. Being in the Chicago Arts scenes, it is next to impossible to see everything, hear everything, enjoy everything. With this in mind, Harris Theater was staging a world premiere performance, Adrian Dunn’s Emancipation, and I was intrigued. Teamed…

Theater Review: WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles)
A BIG BAD-ASS WOOLF When Covid hit, I curled up one night, script in hand, poring over Edward Albee’s 60-year-old play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Perhaps the daily death toll had me in need of comfort, and I knew good ol’ George and Martha could hold me in a doting embrace. If you’re familiar with…

Broadway Review: A STRANGE LOOP (Lyceum Theatre)
FINALLY IN THE LOOP A Strange Loop, the new Broadway musical that currently towers above the rest, is a Brilliant show. With book, music and lyrics by Michael R. Jackson, this Brilliant show is also a Personal show. And a Troubling show. And a Pulitzer Prize-winning show. And a Thoughtful show. And a Silly show….
-
Off-Off-Broadway Review: AUNT SUSAN AND HER TENNESSEE WALTZ (Theater for the New City)
WALTZING AROUND AUNT SUSAN Aunt Susan & Her Tennessee Waltz by Toby Armour is one play in two acts that feels more like two, one-act plays on the same bill. The acts have little in common, other than being dramatizations of two early champions of Women’s Suffrage – Susan B. Anthony and Carrie Chapman Catt….
-
Tour Preview: DAVID SEDARIS (Royce Hall at UCLA)
A CARNIVAL OF SEDARIS AT UCLA For those unfamiliar with David Sedaris’s work, he is a prolific writer, mostly of satire and non-fiction. Many of his stories revolve around his personal life and family, though — as with any great writer, and by his own admission — he does tend to embellish. His latest book,…

Theater Review: MOTHER OF THE MAID (Moxie Theatre)
YOU THINK YOUR DAUGHTER WAS A HANDFUL? Joan of Arc is remembered as a hero and a martyr for her active role in France’s defense from British invasion in the 15th century. How much the average theatergoer knows of her will vary, but likely, across the board, few of us have ever given thought to…
