Off-Broadway Theater Review: GANESH VERSUS THE THIRD REICH (Public Theater)
BACK TO BACK BRINGS ISSUES TO THE FRONT The concept for Ganesh versus the Third Reich is staggering: the Indian god Ganesh travels through Nazi Germany to confront Adolf Hitler and reclaim the ancient Hindu symbol of the swastika. This fantastical imagined history confronts the shifting meaning of signs and questions of cultural appropriation, particularly…

Upcoming Los Angeles Music Feature: RENÉE FLEMING and SUSAN GRAHAM (Disney Hall)
EXOTICISM INCARNATE Renée Fleming and Susan Graham, two of the ecosphere’s leading superstars of opera, have crisscrossed the globe accumulating legions of fans. While they have on occasion appeared in the same opera together, rare is the opportunity to see these two songstresses sing for you in a salon-styled concert. Well, pop the cork on…

Off-Broadway Theater Review: 2 DIMENSIONAL LIFE OF HER (Public Theater)
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL The virtuosic Fleur Elise Noble (performer, director, and set designer) constructs a world of artistic possibilities in 2 Dimensional Life of Her. Across a series of flat surfaces – the shadow of a woman standing atop a chair, large panels spanning the back of the theater and stage right, sheets and signs and crumpled…
-
Off-Broadway Theater Review: HOLLOW ROOTS (Public Theater)
NOTHING HOLLOW ABOUT IT Is it possible for a person of color to have a “neutral narrative”: A story untainted by race or gender, disentangled from the ghosts of the past, unaffected by theory and –isms? Is it possible for a person of color to have hollow roots, and if so, is an empty heritage…
-
Los Angeles/Tour Theater Feature: TARTUFFE (Actors’ Gang)
THE ACTORS’ GANG’S TARTUFFE RETURNS FOR THREE NIGHTS BEFORE NATIONAL TOUR The Actors’ Gang, the critically acclaimed Los Angeles based ensemble theatre company, will present highly successful version of Moliere’s comic masterpiece, Tartuffe, for three shows only before it hits the road on its national tour. This fast-paced, outrageously funny, farcical romp is precisely the…
-
Off-Broadway Theater Review: SOLDIER SONGS (Schimmel Center for the Arts)
ASSAULTED If you’re looking to experience the shell shock and the trauma that soldiers undergo during wartime and its aftermath, then head on down to the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University to see David T. Little’s operatic Soldier Songs. But please heed the warning. This multimedia event is not your garden-variety…
-
Regional Theater Review: THE MOTHERFUCKER WITH THE HAT (South Coast Rep)
THE HONESTY OF HYPOCRISY The Motherfucker with the Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis is a crackling, compelling play that finds genuine comic pathos not only in its characters’ struggles with addiction, violence, poverty, sexual compulsion, and sexual identity, but in their various, mostly unfulfilled, attempts to distinguish between the people they are and the people they…
-
Theater Feature: PETER PAN (national tour)
PETER PAN AND CATHY RIGBY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON: THEY WON’T GROW UP When the musical fantasy adaptation of James M. Barrie’s Peter Pan landed on Broadway in 1954, it received rave reviews. Critics were high on Mary Martin as the boy who leads the three Darling children into Never Land where they encounter the…
-
Off-Off-Broadway/Regional Theater Review: SOMETHING’S GOT AHOLD OF MY HEART (La MaMa)
THE MANY FACES OF LOVE Even before you walk into the First Floor Theatre at La Mama to attend Something’s Got Ahold of My Heart, creators Hand2Mouth ensemble are already selling you a good time and – for the most part – the company follows through on their sale. The partially-improvised, partially-scripted musical about love…

Chicago Theater Review: I LOVE LUCY: LIVE ON STAGE (Broadway Playhouse)
THAT KINKY KINESCOPE It’s a time trip that denies the original intent’”a live taping of a dead T.V. series. The iconic archetype of the boob tube’s “golden age,” I Love Lucy wasn’t just the longest-running T.V. show’”it set the standards and stories for domestic sitcoms until All in the Family changed the rules forever. Depending…
-
Los Angeles Theater Review: ‘TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE (UCLA’s Freud Playhouse)
‘TIS PITY IT’S A SHORT RUN Cheek by Jowl’s touring production of John Ford’s revenge tragedy, ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore, landed at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse for a brief run. The true pity would be to miss this extraordinary production. John Ford’s play is a Jacobean hot mess. Giovanni (a charismatic Orlando James) is in…
-
Broadway Theater Review: THE OTHER PLACE (Samuel J. Friedman Theater)
LAURIE METCALF BELONGS IN THE OTHER PLACE In The Other Place, Sharr White’s riveting and affective play, Laurie Metcalf delivers a poignant and masterfully crafted performance as Juliana, a neurologist and holder of a billion-dollar patent, whose life suddenly starts crumbing before her eyes. The show begins with her – confident, sophisticated, impregnable – lecturing…
-
Chicago Theater Review: THE MOTHERFUCKER WITH THE HAT (Steppenwolf)
HATS OFF TO STEPPENWOLF If the title wasn’t enough of a clue, Stephen Adly Guirgis’s The Motherfucker with the Hat is filled with bad language. But what’s really surprising is how well it uses creative vulgarity to shape a hilarious tale. Jackie (John Ortiz) is a recovering alcoholic on parole who seems to be finally…
-
Los Angeles/Regional Event Preview: SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT (Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa)
SCOTTY, BEAM SHATNER UP TO SEGERSTROM Shatner: Another Frontier. Here, the octogenarian Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe winner makes his tour.

Los Angeles/Regional Music Preview: LE SALON DE MUSIQUES: LES NOUVEAUX ROMANTIQUES! (Dorothy Chandler Pavilion)
A SECRET NO MORE Have you ever been to a Chamber Concert in a grand venue such as Walt Disney Hall or Carnegie Hall but wished you could experience the program in the intimacy of a hostess’ living room? Many is the time after a concert that I have craved to mingle with the virtuosic…
-
Off-Broadway Theater Review: WATER BY THE SPOONFUL (Second Stage)
A POWERFUL WATER BY THE SPOONFUL CONTAINS CONFUSION BY THE CUPFUL Quiara Alegria Hudes’ 2012 Pulitzer-Prize winning Water by the Spoonful is a bold and provocative drama that uses cyber technology to illustrate the woes of addiction. Hudes – book writer for In the Heights – draws from true events and real-life family members to…
-
Los Angeles Theater Review: KING LEAR (Porters of Hellsgate)
CRACK YOUR CHEEKS By placing himself in the charge of his fickle children, old King Lear abandons the security of his own reason to wander an inhospitable wilderness. Â It’s a fitting metaphor for a venerable script at the mercy of a production lacking the chops to do it justice, and for an audience perched for…
-
Los Angeles/Regional Music Preview: PACIFIC SYMPHONY: BEETHOVEN’S VIOLIN CONCERTO & SCHEHERAZADE (Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa)
TWO MASTERWORKS ARE SURE TO THRILL I heard the most exquisite violin playing on KUSC today. It was a Max Bruch violin concerto and I was thrilled when the announcer informed that it was Canadian virtuoso James Ehnes, as I had already made plans to see the Grammy-Award winning violinist this weekend. Ehnes, who masters…
-
Chicago Theater Review: ALLOTMENT ANNIE (Strawdog Theater)
YOU ONLY DIE ONCE One of the great pick-up lines that soldiers and sailors on leave during World War II (and probably the Trojan War too) used to seduce a one-night standee was, “Let’s do it – I could be dead in a month.” Chicago playwright Mark Mason’s sardonic Allotment Annie gives this plea a…
-
Los Angeles Music Review: LA PHILHARMONIC: ESCHENBACH CONDUCTS TCHAIKOVSKY (Walt Disney Concert Hall)
THE JOY OF TEARS Having experienced 307 U.S. National Parks, I am keenly aware of the musical sounds of nature, such as the haunting accelerando of wind through pine needles, the drone of a bee, or the ever-changing sounds of water, as with bubbling staccato over stones, or a cascading scherzo down a ravine. Tan…
