Theater Review: GROUNDHOG DAY: THE MUSICAL (Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Chicagoland)
GROUNDHOG DAY DOES NOT BEAR REPEATING The Paramount Theatre has a well deserved reputation for presenting classy productions of musicals that approach Broadway caliber. That certainly can be said about the Paramount’s revival of Groundhog Day: The Musical. Unfortunately, a classy production is all the compliment that can be offered a tiresome show that runs…

MARIJUANA IN THE MOVIES: A HISTORY
As society becomes more progressive, so does the representation of cannabis in pop culture. For many years, cannabis has been depicted as a dangerous and illegal substance that is capable of ruining lives and creating criminals. Today, cannabis is not taboo anymore. Legalization has brought many of the plant’s benefits out of the dark, and…

Off-Broadway Review: PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC (Manhattan Theatre Club)
A PRAYER GRANTED FOR THE THEATER “Exquisite” is probably a devalued and over-used descriptive at this point is our society. However, Manhattan Theatre Club’s current production of Prayer for the French Republic deserves this particular adjective. Painstakingly written by Joshua Harmon, this three-hour exploration of Jewish identity and human cruelty via multiple generations of a…

Upcoming Music: FOG (premiere); BREATHING FORESTS (premiere); ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA (Esa-Pekka Salonen)
When architect Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, he took into account how musicians would experience the building. He believed if the sound is good, the musicians would feel more confident and, in turn, would play better. With this in mind, Gehry worked closely with expert acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota and then-Los Angeles Philharmonic Music…

Theater Review: GROUNDHOG DAY: THE MUSICAL (Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Chicagoland)
REDEMPTION ON REPEAT, BUT IT’S TOUGH TO GET THROUGH THIS SCORE ONCE When it comes to timing, the Paramount Theater has absolutely nailed the opening date of its latest large-scale musical. Groundhog Day: The Musical has officially opened the same week as the celebrated holiday. February 2 routinely marks Groundhog Day, a popular North American…
-
Theater Review: EVITA (Drury Lane in Chicagoland)
EVITA: SURPRISINGLY GOOD FOR YOU Evita at the Drury Lane Theatre is a prime example of a revival that preserves the virtues of the original musical while injecting enhancements that should refresh the viewing experience of even veteran fans of the show. This is the real life story of Eva Duarte as a teenager, who…
-
Theater Review: WOMEN OF SOUL (Mercury Theater Chicago)
SISTERS DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the beginning of Black History Month than with the musical musings and distinguished divas now honored at the Mercury Theater Chicago. Director Daryl D. Brooks has remounted his hit 2018 musical revue, Women of Soul, championing a half-century of the celebrated…

Broadway Review: MJ THE MUSICAL (Neil Simon Theatre)
BEAT IT, NAYSAYERS; THIS SHOW WANTS TO BE STARTIN’ SOMETHIN’ The new Broadway musical at the Neil Simon Theatre far exceeds a mere revue of Michael Jackson’s iconic music and performance choreography. From the first scene in a rehearsal studio, a week prior to the opening of the “Dangerous Tour,” Myles Frost enters fully possessing…
-
San Diego Theater Review: DESPERATE MEASURES (North Coast Rep in Solano Beach/San Diego)
A SHAKESPEAREAN WESTERN MUSICAL? DON’T WORRY, IT MEASURES UP Love Shakespeare? Great. Hate Shakespeare? No problem. North Coast Rep’s Desperate Measures may be based on the Bard’s Measure for Measure, but the language is fully contemporary (unless you count a hint of 1950s Western thrown in). The whole program only contains one line from actual…
-
Theater Review: HAIRSPRAY (North American Tour)
YOU REALLY CAN’T STOP THE BEAT There was some major foot stomping, shoulder shimmying and hip swaying happening downtown last night, despite a major snowstorm that dumped half a foot of snow on Chicagoland. The national non-Equity tour of Hairspray the musical has hit the CIBC Theater. This show is so hot, it will melt…

Theater Review: EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAIME (Ahmanson Theatre)
WHAT WILL YOU TALK ABOUT? Red high-heeled shoes? Professional drag queens? Repetitive pop music? Overcoming homophobia? Yeah, the new-ish musical Everybody’s Talking About Jaime sounds a lot like Kinky Boots, because it is. (There are so many ways to glitter and be gay in modern Musical Theater.) Jaime is a musical about a 16-year-old boy…
-
Theater Review: GEM OF THE OCEAN (Goodman in Chicago)
SIMPLY SUBLIME What a wonderful way to kick off Black History Month in the Windy City. The Goodman Theatre is revisiting a thoroughly engaging production of August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean. For a three-hour-plus play, there wasn’t a wasted second. Originally staged back in 2003, what a wonderful twentieth year celebration offering this is….

Theater Review: HEISENBERG (Scripps Ranch Theatre in Scripps Ranch/San Diego)
THE PHYSICS OF ATTRACTION If this totally non-physicist reviewer understands what he is reading — the Uncertainty Principle launched by renowned physicist Werner Heisenberg, roughly states that the more precise the position of a particle is given, the less precisely can one say what its momentum is. If that has your head already spinning, no worries;…

Music Review: MENDELSSOHN & BEETHOVEN (Igor Levit, piano; Elim Chan, conductor; LA Philharmonic)
COME FOR IGOR LEVIT: STAY FOR MENDELSSOHN’S FOURTH SYMPHONY Along with Daniil Trifonov, pianist Igor Levit’s concerts and CDs must recall what it first felt like to encounter Gilels and Richter, two other super-talented Russian pianists who brought excitement to classical music. When I saw Mr. Levit live, one of the most striking aspects for…
