Concert Review: FLAMING SEPTEMBER (Justin Vivian Bond at St. Ann & The Holy Trinity Church)
MORE FAITHFULL THAN EVER According to Justin Vivian Bond, thirty-five years ago, upon hearing Marianne Faithfull’s album Blazing Away recorded at St. Ann’s Church in Brooklyn, Viv said, “Someday I’m going to play her.” Then Arts at St. Ann’s moved to DUMBO in 2001 and became St. Ann’s Warehouse. But now, at last, as St….

Theater Review: WEATHER GIRL (St. Ann’s Warehouse)
WEATHER FORECAST: FUNNY AND SUNNY WITH A CHANCE OF ARMAGEDDON In recent years, I have watched a wave of productions by Millennial and Gen Z artists who are, quite understandably, petrified by the future and by the ecological catastrophe we have handed them. Francesca Moody Productions, the British powerhouse behind two of the most successful…

Theater Review: LEO LIONNI’S “FREDERICK” (Chicago Children’s Theatre)
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. — John Keats Sleep-deprived and fortified with four cups of coffee, I hauled my cranky, cynical self on a Sunday morning to the Chicago Children’s Theatre in the West Loop to watch the opening production of their 20th season: a musical of Leo Lionni’s Frederick, a Caldecott Honor…
-
Theater Review: HUZZAH! (The Old Globe)
HUZZAH AND HO-HUM The curtain speech at Huzzah! — which opened Thursday at The Old Globe — comes with bassoon and tambourine: silence thy phones, feed not ye actors. This bit of business tells you everything. The evening ahead will be enthusiastic, self-aware, and content to play within modest boundaries. The cast Nell Benjamin and…
-
Theater Review: INTO THE WOODS (Spreckels Theatre Company in Rohnert Park)
A SONDHEIM SPECTACLE Sonoma County’s Spreckels Performing Arts Center has launched a tremendous production of Into the Woods, the perpetually popular and nearly forty-year-old musical spoof of classic fairy tales by composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim and author James Lapine. The show debuted on Broadway in 1987, won multiple Tony awards, and has been a recurring item…

Theater Review: AVA: THE SECRET CONVERSATIONS (Studebaker Theater)
TWO CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR An aging, reclusive movie star strikes up a relationship with a struggling writer. It may sound familiar but this isn’t Sunset Boulevard, more’s the pity. The star in question is screen legend Ava Gardner, who, in the late 1980s, contracted British journalist Peter Evans to ghostwrite her autobiography….

SKILL-BASED iGAMING: A GROWING TREND FOR MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z
Younger players didn’t grow up yanking levers; they grew up beating levels. That’s why skill-based iGaming keeps gaining ground: wins come from choices and timing, not a spin you can’t control. Quick head-to-head matches. Same-seed score runs. Pick formats you can learn fast. These reward practice and clear thinking—no fluff, no mystery. Play better, win…

Theater Review: THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA (Boston Court)
OH, WHAT A NIGHT Tennessee Williams’ The Night of the Iguana (1961) may be viewed as the finish of a journey the playwright began twenty years earlier with The Glass Menagerie (1944). The one was his first critical and commercial success, the other his last. After Iguana, Williams would continue to write plays and one-acts…
-
Concert Review: DANIIL TRIFONOV, PIANO (Season Opener at Soka Performing Arts Center)
STORMS, WHISPERS, AND THE SPACE BETWEEN Daniil Trifonov has become a figure around whom the current piano world seems to orbit. He is not only astonishingly skilled, he is unpredictable in the best way, always willing to risk fragility or silence rather than hide behind sheer volume. His playing has the uncanny quality of making…
-
Theater Review: THE MOUNTAINTOP (Front Porch Arts Collective)
LEGACY MEETS MORTALITY IN THE MOUNTAINTOP This superb production of Katori Hall‘s The Mountaintop, a surprise-filled two-hander depicting King’s last night before his assassination, is not just history. Director Maurice Emmanuel Parent works with two excellent actors—Dominic Carter and Kiera Prusmack—to lead us to understand that King’s concerns and work are still relevant. It’s at…

MINIMALIST VS. MAXIMALIST: TWO SCHOOLS OF DRESSING FOR LIVE MUSIC
Live music performances are not just about the sound. They represent a comprehensive experience where lighting shifts from the main stage illumination (front of house wash) to backlighting through a layer of haze (backlight and haze), sound surges and subsides, and crowds press together before dispersing. In that challenging environment, your attire can either enhance…

Off-Broadway Review: THE OTHER AMERICANS (Public Theater)
JOHN LEGUIZAMO’S THE OTHER AMERICANS IS RIFE WITH POTENTIAL THAT’S NOT ALWAYS REALIZED — MUCH LIKE THE AMERICAN DREAM ITSELF There are many kinds of Americans. Some were born here. Some emigrated here. Some were forcibly brought here. But whatever the mode of initial arrival, in time, we all eventually become Americans — enamored of…

Film Review: AI WEIWEI’S TURANDOT (Directed by Maxim Derevianko)
AN OPERA HAUNTED BY THE PRESENT I’m not here to teach a music history class, but a little background goes a long way when it comes to Ai Weiwei’s Turandot, especially if opera isn’t your thing or if you are new to the work of artist and activist Ai Weiwei (pronounced “eye way-way”). That said,…

Theater Review: HAMILTON (National Tour in Boston)
STILL SCRAPPY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS It has been more than ten years since Hamilton’s Off-Broadway premiere. Alexander Hamilton may have declared himself—like his country—“young, scrappy, and hungry,” with scrappy meaning feisty, resourceful, and unwilling to back down. The musical that bears his name is no longer young, nor is it hungry—according to a 2020…
