  • Los Angeles Theater Review: O(H) (casebolt and smith)

    By Sarah Taylor Ellis | January 19, 2012
    in

    NOT YOUR ORDINARY EVENING OF DANCE Liz Casebolt and Joel Smith’s long-term friendship shapes their every move as a duo dance company. Such a partnership between a straight woman and gay man is not unusual in the dance world. Self-conscious acknowledgement of it in a performance is. Yet fessing up to the friendship that sustains…

  • Los Angeles Theater Review: THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE (The Production Company)

    By Tony Frankel | January 18, 2012
    in

    BLACK COMEDY AND KITCHEN SINK DRAMA: AN IRISH STEW While the horror and suspense merely simmer in The Beauty Queen of Leenane – Martin McDonagh’s 1996 black comedy – the dark humor, bleakness, and romance positively boil over, making The Production Company’s revival a recommended trip. For 20 years, 40 year-old spinster Maureen (Ferrell Marshall)…

  • Los Angeles Theater Review: TROILUS AND CRESSIDA (Porters of Hellsgate)

    By Jason Rohrer | January 18, 2012
    in

    WARLIKE FROTTAGE The Porters of Hellsgate’s production of Shakespeare’s Trojan War essay, Troilus and Cressida, begins promisingly.   A shifting tableau establishes characters and relationships during the Prologue’s welcome, telling visually a story that might be hard to follow due to its many characters, plot lines, and changes of theme.   It’s too bad Charles Pasternak then…

  • Off Broadway Theater Review: KISSING SID JAMES (Brits Off Broadway at 59E59)

    By Sarah Taylor Ellis | January 6, 2012
    in

    THE SOUND OF TWO BRITS KISSING Stationary sales executive Eddie and sexy casino worker Crystal fumble through their first weekend trip together in Robert Farquhar’s Kissing Sid James. This playful Brits Off Broadway production at 59E59 offers an endearingly awkward portrait of lonely longing and misfit romance. In an uncomfortable phone conversation that opens the…

  • Bay Area Theater Review: THE WILD BRIDE (Berkeley Repertory Theatre)

    By Tony Frankel | January 6, 2012
    in

    GO TO THE DEVIL Within the manifesto of Kneehigh – an avant-garde, world-class theater company based in Cornwall, England – is a simple but mighty statement: Kneehigh tells stories.   By remaining on the fringe of theater as a business, this magnificently inventive, multi-talented, multi-cultural team of artists brings to the theater refreshing and persuasive theatrical…

  • Las Vegas Theater Reviews: JERSEY BOYS (Palazzo) PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Venetian)

    By Tony Frankel | January 4, 2012
    in

    ONE BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE; THE OTHER, JUST A CHANDELIER. My assignment to review “the old and the new†Las Vegas included two Broadway transplants, ones that may give insight into the future of musical theatre in Las Vegas: the highly entertaining Jersey Boys at The Palazzo and the heartless, stunning spectacle Phantom–The Las Vegas…

  • THEATER IN LOS ANGELES: THE BEST OF 2011

    By Harvey Perr | January 1, 2012
    in

    THE SUPERBOWL OF LOS ANGELES THEATER FOR 2011 2011 ENDED NOT WITH THE PROVERBIAL WHIMPER BUT WITH A RESOUNDING BANG: Fela! was not merely the best new musical of the year, it was one of its most vivid theatrical experiences as well. Most of the credit goes to Bill T. Jones, who conceived, directed, and…

  • Off Broadway Theater Review: APOLOGIES (AND OTHER GREY AREAS) (The Paper Industry)

    By Sarah Taylor Ellis | December 23, 2011
    in

    OUR APOLOGIES FOR TELLING YOU TOO LATE Something is happening in New York theater. With their latest “ugly opera” Apologies (And Other Grey Areas), The Paper Industry explores the uncertainty of beginnings and the possibilities of the present through a compelling combination of design, music, and movement: a thrilling theatrical excavation of Schrödinger and Heisenberg’s…

  • Theater Review: FELA! (National Tour kick-off at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles)

    By Harvey Perr | December 18, 2011
    in , ,

    SING A SONG OF AFRICA Fela! is a scorcher. On these chilly nights in December and January, everyone (with a vested interest in the continuing power of musical theater) should retreat to the Ahmanson Theatre, where the heat is on. Warning: Do not try to put the fire out. Let the blaze burn bright. There…

  • Regional Theater Review: SOME LOVERS (The Old Globe in San Diego)

    By Tony Frankel | December 16, 2011
    in

    ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GOOD STORY After winning two Tony awards in 2007 for book and lyrics of Spring Awakening, Steven Sater teamed up with the one-and-only Burt Bacharach to write some pop songs.     According to an L.A. Times article, the legendary composer told Sater that he dreamt they rented a theater…

  • Off Broadway Theater Review: THE MYTHS WE NEED – OR – HOW TO BEGIN (Purple Rep)

    By Sarah Taylor Ellis | December 13, 2011
    in

    ONE OF MANY GENESIS STORIES TO COME Creating a fresh twist on the Biblical tale of Adam and Eve is no small feat. Unfortunately, Larry Kunofsky’s The Myths We Need – or – How to Begin   stumbles about with 1920s flare, but with little original insight into what makes us human. Kunofsky casts Adam and…

  • Chicago Theater Review: PENELOPE (Steppenwolf)

    By Dan Zeff | December 12, 2011
    in

    SUITORS SUIT ILL-FITTING SUITS Enda Walsh, scribe of The Walworth Farce and The New Electric Ballroom, is one of the great polarizing writers in modern theater:   his admirers love the English dramatist’s quirky theatrical imagination and his command of language, while his detractors complain that his stories are improbable, if not incomprehensible, and that his…

  • Movie Review: NEW YEAR’S EVE directed by Garry Marshall

    By Kevin Bowen | December 9, 2011
    in

    DON’T HATE ME BECAUSE I’M PRETTY MUCH RECOMMENDING THIS GUILTY PLEASURE I’m allowed one disastrous recommendation per year, right? And here it is already December, and I don’t think I’ve used it yet. So just like those dental insurance benefits that you’re eager to max out before the calendar changes :. consider yourself warned. So…

  • Film Review: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN directed by Lynne Ramsay

    By Kevin Bowen | December 9, 2011
    in

    THE CONVERSATION BELATEDLY BEGINS We Need to Talk About Kevin isn’t the first film this year to outlast its immediacy. A novel written by Lionel Shriver in the wake of the Columbine school killings, director Lynne Ramsay has been trying to make the film since her last feature, Morvern Callar, in 2002. The unusually long…

  • Theater Review: ELIZABETH REX (Chicago Shakespeare Theater)

    By Dan Zeff | December 9, 2011
    in ,

    MEET THE QUEEN Timothy Findley’s Elizabeth Rex confines Queen Elizabeth I and William Shakespeare inside a royal barn one wintry night in February 1601. The placement of the two most luminous personalities of England’s Golden Age should set off glorious dramatic and theatrical fireworks at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The performers do their best to…

  • Los Angeles Theater Review: THE NIGHT WATCHER (Kirk Douglas Theatre)

    By Harvey Perr | December 3, 2011
    in

    TELL US A STORY, AUNTIE CHARLAYNE If I were a child, I would want Auntie Charlayne to tuck me in and tell me a story. Why? Because Auntie Charlayne –   that’s Charlayne Woodard –   just happens to be a great storyteller. She can get right in there, keeping you interested every step of the way,…

  • Chicago Theater Review: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (American Theater Company)

    By Dan Zeff | December 3, 2011
    in

    IT’S A WONDERFUL PRODUCTION A stage adaptation of the movie classic It’s a Wonderful Life premiered in Connecticut in 1997 and, before long, the adaptation became a staple of the regional theater circuit during the Christmas season.   The show now challenges A Christmas Carol as the preeminent live theater attraction of the holidays.   There is…

  • Chicago Theater Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Goodman Theatre)

    By Dan Zeff | December 3, 2011
    in

    A CAROL FOR THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE The Goodman Theatre is the custodian of the most popular tradition in Chicagoland holiday entertainment, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The 2011 production does not depart in any major way from the 33 previous presentations (excluding a disastrous revival many years ago that turned the story into…

  • Los Angeles Theater Review: DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS (A Noise Within)

    By Harvey Perr | December 3, 2011
    in

    TWISTED LITTLE PASSIONS IN THE SUBURBS Now that A Noise Within –   the Southern California repertory theater company dedicated to the classics – has gotten a snazzy new suburban theater in Pasadena, guess what?   They are doing the same fair-to-middling work on their new stage as they did in their old space in Glendale. I…

  • DVD Review/Commentary: THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS (PBS NOVA series)

    By John Topping | December 3, 2011
    in

    WEIRD SCIENCE If you’re like me, you’re someone who is fascinated by science now, as an adult, but hated it back in school.   Why was something so fascinating presented as such drudgery?   If a teacher can’t capture a student’s imagination, it’s pointless. So after years of straight Ds (which I think were mercy passings so…
