Obituary: CLEO LAINE (Jazz Singer and Theatre Actress)
A VOICE THAT SPANNED CONTINENTS AND CENTURIES The trouble with singers who insist on being versatile is that they make everyone else look lazy. Dame Cleo Laine, who died on July 24th at her home in Wavendon, England, aged 97, was particularly guilty of this sort of thing. Her nearly four-octave voice wandered from gravelly…

Theater Review: NOISES OFF (The Old Globe)
NOISES OFF, LAUGHS ON English playwright Michael Frayn debuted his farce Noises Off in 1982, and decades of audiences and reviewers have since happily applauded Frayn’s work as perhaps the funniest as well as the most challenging comedy in the canon of English-language theater. The Old Globe has accepted the Noises Off challenge this summer,…

Off-Broadway Review: GINGER TWINSIES (Orpheum Theatre)
TWO GINGER SNAPS UP FOR THIS PARENT TRAP PARODY The subtitle for Ginger Twinsies, the new Off-Broadway comedy which opened last night at the Orpheum Theatre, reads: “The Parent Trap parody (legally speaking).” Having never seen Nancy Myer’s 1998 Disney film starring Lindsay Lohan, it gave me pause; I wondered if I’d spend the evening…

Concert Review: TAIKOPROJECT (25th Anniversary Show at Disney Hall)
25 YEARS OF BEATS, SWEAT, AND COMMUNITY: TAIKOPROJECT’S ANNIVERSARY SHOW HITS (MOST OF) THE RIGHT NOTES Bryan Yamami and Masato Baba, the powerhouse duo behind TAIKOPROJECT, are still going strong after 25 years — and honestly, that’s impressive on so many levels. Not only are they raising families and still moving like dancers half their…

Theater Review: LOVE’S LABOURS LOST (Lanes Coven Theater Company at Windhover Performing Arts Center in Rockport, MA)
WIN OR LOSE, IT’S ABOUT LOVE Wow! Whoever wrote Love’s Labour’s Lost was a comic genius. The wordplay, the multi-lingual puns, and the send-ups of characters stumbling over their own foolishness are endlessly entertaining—except that many productions of this play by William Shakespeare fall flat. The sometimes obscure (to us) Elizabethan references and word usage…

Dance Review: MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP (45th Anniversary Season Kick-Off at The Joyce; Program “B”)
THE MORRIS, THE MERRIER The Mark Morris Dance Group celebrates its 45th anniversary with a dynamic return to The Joyce Theater. Program B showcases a wide-ranging display of the company’s hallmarks: musicality, wit, and structural clarity. Each act features two contrasting works, performed by a company of seasoned dancers and accompanied—often live—by musicians of equal…

Off-Broadway Review: JOY: A NEW TRUE MUSICAL (Laura Pels Theatre
JOY TO THE WHIRL For every inventive soul who’s ever heard “no,” “pass,” or “next,” Joy is for you. Based on the life of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano, this briskly staged musical delivers an energetic blend of domestic chaos, entrepreneurial grit, and interior musical theater gold to keep it well fueled for its two-hour…

Cabaret Review: THE ANDERSON BROTHERS PLAY ARTIE SHAW (Peter & Will Anderson at Birdland)
REED ALL ABOUT IT! SHAW BIZ WITH THE ANDERSON TWINS When jazz musicians of the current generation explore and embrace the repertoire of stars of the past, it can be an enjoyably educational experience. Such was the case when, along with four fine colleagues, Peter and Will Anderson turned their attention to bandleader Artie Shaw…

Theater Review: MÉNAGE À QUATRE (LA LGBT Center)
MÉNAGE À MEH, OR BOB & CAROL & DEAD & AIRLESS Last Saturday, I caught the world premiere of Ménage à Quatre, a play that seems to promise a farce but instead delivers a muddled mess. Written by Peter Lefcourt and directed by Ryan O’Connor, the show is a guest production at the Davidson/Valentini Theatre…

London Theatre Review: STEREOPHONIC (Duke of York’s)
THEATRE TURNED ALL THE WAY UP There are moments in the theatre when everything converges: writing, performance, design, direction, and something indefinable that transforms craft into revelation. David Adjmi’s Stereophonic, now blazing through the Duke of York’s Theatre, is precisely such a moment. This isn’t simply 2024’s finest American play; it’s a seismic shift in…

Theater Review: THE FANTASTICKS (Ruskin Group Theatre)
THE KIND OF SEPTEMBER YOU’LL WANT TO REMEMBER With the original opening Off-Broadway in 1960 and running an astounding 42 years, The Fantasticks is a veritable classic amongst the repertoire of musical theater. This perennially popular piece by composer Harvey Schmidt and librettist & lyricist Tom Jones is a two-act chamber piece—an eight-character, minimalistic, melancholic, commedia…

Theater Obituary: RICHARD GREENBERG (1958-2025)
A CHRONICLER OF PRIVILEGED ANXIETY In the peculiar ecosystem of American theatre—where earnestness often trumps elegance and message supersedes craft—Richard Greenberg, who passed on July 4, 2025 at 67, occupied a singular niche. His characters were the sort of people who attended the right universities, read the correct books, and still found themselves paralyzed by…

FROM SCRIPT TO SCREEN: WHY EVERY GREAT AD STARTS LIKE A MOVIE

In fact, the most memorable marketing videos today borrow heavily from film. Whether it’s a sleek tech ad or a heartfelt nonprofit campaign, the strongest ones…

MURDER MOST TUNEFUL In 2013 a new musical called A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder played San Diego’s Old Globe on its way to a prizewinning run on Broadway. The show is now back for a season-ending run at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, Though perhaps a bit less effective than the 2013 version,…

The Impact of Living in a Space That Reflects You There’s something powerful about walking into a home that feels like it was made for you.
