Theater Review: THE METROMANIACS (Theatre 40, Beverly Hills)
THE ANACHRONISMIACS Poetry is all the rage in the madcap comedy, The Metromaniacs, David Ives’ 2015 English “translaptation” of La Métromanie (1738), an obscure French farce by Alexis Piron. While La Métromanie jocularly reflected the “poetry craze” of its era, Ives’ remake offers a modern lens in which to lovingly jeer that same 18th-century phenomenon….

Theater Review: AMERICAN IDIOT (Chance Theater, Anaheim)
IDIOT IS AS IDIOT DOES Inspired by a 2004 rock album by the American pop-punk rock band Green Day, American Idiot has received its share of positive reviews since its premiere in Berkeley, California in 2009 and subsequent runs on Broadway, on tour, at colleges, and regional and community theaters. When I saw the tour…

Theater Review: THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES (North Coast Repertory in Solano Beach)
THIS MUSICAL IS RIGHT AT HOLMES When we think of Sherlock Holmes in the dank, foggy streets of London, investigating death and deception, probably the next thought we have isn’t, “This would really work as a musical comedy.” Fortunately director/playwright David Ellenstein and lyricist/co-playwright Omri Schein don’t think like us; they saw the funny in…

Music Reviews: PINK MARTINI / BERNADETTE PETERS (San Francisco Symphony)
SUMMER AT THE SYMPHONY 2 In their 25+ years as a fourteen member full “little orchestra,” Pink Martini has established a reputation for clever, daring, sophisticated and delightful music.

Off-Broadway Review: MAKE THICK MY BLOOD (DE-CRUIT at Studio Theatre, Theatre Row)
A BLOODY BUSINESS WHICH INFORMS “When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning or in rain? When the hurley-burley’s done, when the battle’s lost and won…” These opening lines from Shakespeare’s Macbeth have probably been spoken by the witches in almost every production of this play since Shakespeare last sat in the back of…

Theater Review: KING LIZ (Geffen Playhouse)
A PLAY OFF A rich, black, ball-busting pro-sports super-agent who has worked her way up from poverty to making partner at a major firm. The white male head of that agency who wants his protégé of 22 years to take over the company as he nears retirement. The agent’s put-upon ambitious Latina assistant of five…

Theater Review: SPRING AWAKENING (Wildsong Productions in Ocean Beach, San Diego)
QUITE THE AWAKENING Watching Spring Awakening in 2008 at the Balboa Theatre and again in 2022 at the OB Playhouse, it is interesting how different the play struck me. Not because of the quality of either production, but because of how different our world is in the fourteen years from a just-elected Barack Obama nation to a…

Theater Review: THE EMPIRE STRIPS BACK (Great Star Theater)
MAY THE TORSO BE WITH YOU Forget about Broadway or the latest Marvel Comic movie. The fun, hip and cool burlesque Star Wars parody — which isn’t just for fans of the franchise — is the show to see this summer live onstage in San Francisco. No stranger to SF, Burlesque started in the nineteenth…

Theater Review: FOLLIES (SF Playhouse)

Yet because of COVID, San Francisco’s first onstage adaptation of the musical Follies had a…
