Concert Review: JOSH GROBAN “Stage, Screen, and Symphony” Tour (NSO / Wolf Trap / Vienna, VA)
GROBAN WITH THE FLOW A soaring baritone meets the sweep of the National Symphony Orchestra There are singers who command a stage, and then there are artists who seem genuinely delighted to share it. On Saturday night at Wolf Trap, Josh Groban did both. Backed by the National Symphony Orchestra under conductor Sean O’Loughlin, Groban…

Theater Review: BEING PIAF (Odyssey Theatre Ensemble / Los Angeles)
PIAF, WITHOUT THE PARROTING Eleanora Owen finds the heartbreak and defiance inside the Little Sparrow’s songs Édith Piaf’s life overflowed with the severest of extremities: the writhing, rapturous harmony of joyous consonances and agonized dissonances, hastened with the rapidity of a tempo that flamed out after a brief 47 years, and woven with counterpoints of…

Broadway Preview: THE FANTASTICKS (Second Stage Theater / Hayes Theater)
BROADWAY GETS FANTASTICK The world’s longest-running musical takes its first Broadway bow in a beautifully reconsidered form It took The Fantasticks 66 years to get to Broadway. Then again, a musical that ran Off-Broadway for 42 years and 17,162 performances has never exactly needed Broadway’s stamp of approval. But this fall, Tom Jones and Harvey…

Theater Preview: KOWALSKI (Lookingglass Theatre Company / Chicago)
STELLA! MEET TENNESSEE Once Tennessee met Brando, American theater would never be the same Before Marlon Brando bellowed “STELLA!” into theatrical immortality, he was a hungry 23-year-old actor who had yet to become Marlon Brando. And before A Streetcar Named Desire became one of the defining American plays of the 20th century, Tennessee Williams needed…

Opera Preview: LINCOLN IN THE BARDO (Death of Classical / The Metropolitan Opera)
ABE AMONG THE GRAVES Death of Classical takes “Lincoln in the Bardo” where it was practically begging to go: the cemetery Talk about knowing your venue.

YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION Ted Sperling and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra find new life in the music of a year that changed everything The summer of 1969 gave us Woodstock, the Harlem Cultural Festival, Vietnam War protests, the moon landing, and an astonishing collision of rock, soul, folk, gospel and funk. At the…

Theater Preview: WINTER’S BENCH (24th Street Theatre)
IF THIS TREE COULD TALK Anne Gee Byrd listens for a voice from the past in Mike Kenny’s lyrical world premiere Trees talk to each other. Really. Scientists have discovered that beneath our feet, trees use vast underground networks to communicate and share resources. But what if a tree decided to strike up a conversation…

IN TEACHING MUSIC, THE EXAMPLE HAS TO BE THE REAL THING
Anyone who has tried to teach music at a distance runs into the same wall within about a week: the thing being taught cannot be written down, and it cannot be paraphrased either. A producer explaining why a hi hat pattern sits behind the beat can describe it in a paragraph, and the paragraph will…

Off-Broadway Review: THE REAL IVANOV (Initiative Productions / New York)
IVANOV GETS THE SHORT END Chekhov’s despair survives the cuts, but the production struggles to connect the pieces It is difficult to make depression theatrically vivid when its essential symptoms are misery, inertia, and the absence of purpose rather than anything visually dramatic. That is the particular challenge of Chekhov’s Ivanov, and I have already…

Concert Review: GIPSY KINGS FEATURING NICOLAS REYES (Wolf Trap)
THE FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER, SWAYS TOGETHER Generations of the Reyes family keep the Gipsy Kings’ irresistible rhythms moving forward Under a cool, clear moonlit sky at Wolf Trap last night, the Gipsy Kings turned a summer concert into a family affair, with generations of the Reyes clan sharing a musical heritage that proved as…
-
Concert Review: DIANA ROSS (Wolf Trap’s Filene Center / Vienna VA)
THE BOSS STILL SUPREMES At 82, Diana Ross still knows how to turn a concert into an occasion From the moment Washington, D.C.’s DJ Heat began warming up the crowd, Diana Ross’s return to Wolf Trap felt like a celebration. By the time Miss Ross swept onto the white-drenched stage in an electric chartreuse gown…
-
Cabaret Review: SPOTLIGHT KIDZ CABARET: ALL THAT GLITTERS (The Green Room 42)
YOUNG VOICES, BRIGHT LIGHTS Two dozen aspiring performers take the stage with enthusiasm, confidence and plenty of personality It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to make an educated guess that most of the smiling faces, cell-phone cameras and wildly applauding hands at a cabaret show filled with kid performers belong to proud parents, grandparents, siblings and…

SEEDANCE 2.5 FOR THEATRE MARKETING: TURNING APPROVED PRODUCTION ASSETS INTO PROMOTIONAL VIDEO CONCEPTS
Theatre marketing usually starts with a rich set of approved assets: production photography, poster art, costume references, stage designs, rehearsal images, and cast information. The opportunity is to turn that material into motion for promotion. The responsibility is to do it without inventing scenes that misrepresent the actual show. Trust between artists and audiences is…

Theater Review: RHINOCEROS (American Repertory Theater / Cambridge, MA)
THE RHINOCEROSES ARE AMONG US; HERE COMES THE CRASH A.R.T.’s chillingly funny absurdist classic asks what happens when everyone else joins the herd Since its 1959 debut, Eugène Ionesco’s famed Rhinoceros has likely felt chillingly topical to every generation that has encountered it. Writing about American Repertory Theater’s new production from that angle may seem…

Concert Review: JON BATISTE WITH THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Wolf Trap)
BATISTE INFECTION Jon Batiste and the NSO make musical boundaries disappear From the very start of Jon Batiste’s performance with the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolf Trap last night, I couldn’t stop smiling, and I couldn’t stop shimmying in my seat. That was the first clue that this was going to be more than a…

Broadway Opening: THE IMAGINARY INVALID (Roundabout Theatre Company)
THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOW, WHETHER YOU NEED ONE OR NOT Bill Irwin makes a house call on Molière There are hypochondriacs, and then there is Argan, the gloriously self-absorbed “professional patient” at the center of Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid. This fall, Tony winner Bill Irwin returns to Broadway, and to a playwright particularly…
