YOU’LL WISH YOU WERE NIKKI Wish You Were Here begins in 1978 when protests are breaking out across Iran, encroaching on a suburb where a tight-knit circle of girlfriends is getting ready for a wedding.

Off-Broadway Review: WHICH WAY TO THE STAGE (MCC)
ANY WAY IS THE BEST WAY: JUST FIND YOUR WAY TO WHICH WAY TO THE STAGE Lick this play, lick its playwright Ana Nogueira, its director Mike Donahue, its cast and designers, and while you’re at it, lick MCC for this first-rate production. Ignore the Idina Menzel pre-show showtunes blasted so loudly that conversations were…

Broadway Review: FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE / WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF (Booth)
PLENTY OF RAINBOW BUT LITTLE COLOR In feminist Ntozake Shange‘s 1976 “choreopoem” (a term coined by the late playwright), the experiences of Black women in America are transformed into poetry, music, and choreography. Seven ladies in rainbow colors (Lady in Blue, Lady in Green, etc.) tell stories about joyful sexual awakening, but also about rape;…

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.

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.

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)

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.

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…
