Los Angeles Theater Review: SILENT (Odyssey Theatre)
VOLUBLE Once in my earnest youth I dogged a homeless man around lower Manhattan for a whole night, from his steady gig panhandling the car line into the Holland Tunnel through four hours’ can collecting. I was under the influence of undergraduate-level brother’s keeperism and would not be put off by the man’s clear discomfort…

A PENNY’S WORTH In the mood for some light-hearted, endearing entertainment that will make your face and heart smile? Then get yourself a ticket to Barry Kleinbort’s (direction, book, music and lyrics) 13 Things about Ed Carpolotti, a new one-act cabaret based on a monologue from Jeffrey Hatcher’s Three Viewings. Although the plot introduction takes…

Chicago Theater Review: THE SCHOOL FOR LIES (Chicago Shakespeare)
MOLIÈRE FOR DUMMIES Attend David Ives’ The School for Lies’”a manic contemporary travesty’”if you want to fully appreciate Molière’s 1666 masterpiece The Misanthrope, as serious a comedy as the 17th century farceur ever attempted. Brashly brilliant, grotesquely scatological, industriously low-brow, and perversely wrong-headed, this Midwest premiere of The School for Lies at Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s…
-
Broadway Theater Review: THE ANARCHIST (John Golden Theatre)
UNFULFILLED WANTS David Mamet’s latest dramatic work, The Anarchist, begins as abruptly as it ends, but despite the jarring effects, there is a good reason for the sharpness of these moments. Jeff Croiter’s lighting cues punctuate the first and final scenes like black and white markers for what is otherwise grey, nebulous and “opaque” material,…
-
Los Angeles Theater Review: BOB’S HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY (Pico Playhouse)
BOB’S HOLIDAY OFFICE FIASCO Bob’s Holiday Office Party, now in its 17th season, is basically a fifteen-minute Carol Burnett Show-type sketch stretched out to about 100 minutes. And unless a new director is brought on board, last night will remain my first and last experience at the party. For roughly the first 30 minutes, it…
-
Los Angeles Theater Review: ANYTHING GOES (Ahmanson Theatre)
SOME THINGS GO, SOME THINGS DON’T While it is refreshing that Cole Porter is experiencing a revival, it is unfortunate that the timeless brilliance of his music is attached to musicals whose books are mediocre at best and dated, most certainly. The challenge for the director handling a Porter musical is to manage these disparate…

Chicago Dance Review: THE NUTCRACKER (The Joffrey Ballet)
A HOLIDAY CHESTNUTCRACKER The Joffrey Ballet is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its holiday production of The Nutcracker, which means audiences have enjoyed an evening of grace, beauty, charm, and magnificent dancing and music for a quarter of a century. The annual holiday event is back at the Auditorium Theatre, billed as “America’s #1 Nutcracker.”…

Los Angeles Theater Review: RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDOORS (Falcon Theatre)
RECIPE FOR A CHRISTMAS STEW I sent this recipe to a friend, who will let us know how this Christmas Stew turned out: This is a family favorite, cooked up every holiday season. There are a lot of ingredients, but if you start with the basics and improvise a little, you should be fine. Even…

Chicago Theater Review: CLOSER THAN I APPEAR (Steppenwolf)
WHEN THE DECONSTRUCTION OF COMEDY BUILDS LAUGHTER Jeff Garlin, comedian and star performer in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, appears in his one-man show Closer Than I Appear at the Steppenwolf Theatre Upstairs. Although it is possible to describe the evening through a seemingly free-associative list of objects – a suitcase, plastic jack o’ lantern, orange…

Chicago Dance Review: HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO (Winter Series 2012 at Harris Theatre)
FINDING NEW WAYS TO TURN A BODY The big news from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago as the intrepid troupe launches their four-day “winter series” at the Harris Theatre in Millennium Park? It’s the company premiere of Swedish choreographer Mats Ek’s ambitious 40-minute creation Casi-Casa. Full of glimpses of life caught in its ill-assorted acts, it’s…

Chicago Theater Review: HANNUKATZ THE MUSICAL (National Pastime)
CAT CHOKES UP FUR BALLS ONE TOO MANY TIMES You should live so long to meet the Hannukatz, a big 6 foot fur ball of a cat who drops by the Moskowitz family home in Skokie to educate the kids about the true meaning of Hannukah. If you want to know “How the Jews Began”…

Chicago Theater and Tour Review: HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL (Cadillac Palace Theatre)
A DOCTORED WHO How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is only 90 minutes long’”not much more time than it would take to watch the beloved animation and read the book by the late Dr. Seuss. Big League Productions’ touring production of a 2006 Broadway offering contains Jack O’Brien’s staging faithfully reprised by Matt August),…
-
San Francisco Theater Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL (A.C.T.)
ROLL OUT THE CAROL For two generations, a yearly outing to see A Christmas Carol has been a feel-good tradition for San Francisco families. American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) has staged adaptations of this famous Dickens story continuously since 1976, with few gaps, changing up the production on a regular basis to keep it from getting…
-
Bay Area Theater Review: BIG RIVER (TheatreWorks in Palo Alto)
BIG RIVER MAKES A CLASSIC BOOK FLOW BEAUTIFULLY ONTO THE STAGE In Big River, adapted from the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the “mighty Mississippi” gracefully becomes a mighty metaphor for a journey of discovery into human foibles, adventure, the meaning of friendship, prejudice, redemption, and right and wrong. More than that, decked in…
-
Los Angeles Theater Review: DONNY & MARIE: CHRISTMAS IN LOS ANGELES (Pantages Theatre)
A JOLLY OSMOND HOLIDAY To fans and detractors alike, Donny and Marie represent a cultural and show business ethos so strong, and so specific, that their actual talents sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Fifty years of Osmond entertainment creates a mythology of nostalgia, squared’”in both senses of the word’”their family friendly performance style isn’t…

Chicago Theater Review: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE! LIVE AT THE BIOGRAPH! (American Blues Theatre)
IT’S A WONDERFUL SHOW After a long and trying day, I entered Victory Gardens a bit of Scrooge on Saturday night. So when Christmas-y sweater-wearing performers, their smiles stretching from rosy cheek to rosy cheek, began a holiday sing-along preshow’”a few rounds of “Jingle Bells” and “The 12 Days of Christmas”’”I was dismayed at the…
-
New York Cabaret Review: FRISK ME: THE SONGS OF MAX VERNON (Joe’s Pub)
FRISK ME AGAIN The hubbub in the lobby of the Public Theater late last Friday night suggested we were in for a dynamic show. Frisk Me: The Songs of Max Vernon packed Joe’s Pub with one of the most energized audiences of friends and fans I have ever seen at this venue, and the few…

Off-Broadway Theater Review: GOLDEN AGE (Manhattan Theatre Club)
I THINK I HEARD BELLINI TURNING IN HIS GRAVE Imagine yourself sitting tied to a chair in a stuffy, dark room with a very dull senile old man who talks on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about nonsense, and you have imagined the experience…

Chicago Theater Review: SPANK! THE FIFTY SHADES PARODY (The Royal George Theater)
FIFTY SHADES PUREED The erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey has made millions, maybe billions, of dollars and counting, having set the record as the fastest-selling paperback of all time, surpassing the paperback sales of the Harry Potter series.
