Theatre Review: EVITA (London Palladium)
THE GYM TOOK OVER ARGENTINA AND NOBODY LOOKED BACK Jamie Lloyd’s Evita comes at you like a SoulCycle class that got a state grant for performance art. It’s sweaty, shiny, and occasionally shouts at you in political slogans. The whole thing feels like someone dared the production team to stage a military coup with nothing…

Theater Review: GUYS AND DOLLS (Ogunquit Playhouse, Maine)
A WINNING ROLL OF THE DICE The musical theater classic Guys and Dolls has been produced so many times and in so many ways you might think it couldn’t get much better, but don’t bet on it.

Theater Review: THE GARBOLOGISTS (Gloucester Stage)
A TRASH-TALKING ODD COUPLE The Garbologists opens with a few seconds of complete darkness and the clang and grind of machinery before two bright headlights move straight toward the audience.

Theater Review: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS (Sonoma Arts Live Theatre Company at Andrews Hall)
CON ME IF YOU CAN: SCOUNDRELS STEAL THE SHOW IN SONOMA I was a bit reluctant to review this musical based on that hilarious 1988 film with Steve Martin and Michael Caine as Lothario con men in the south coast of France. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has had success from Broadway to Brisbane. Can a small…

THE BUSINESS OF NOSTALGIA: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ALL DRESSED UP WITH NOWHERE TO GO Last Thursday night, a rainy July 10th, ensconced in the stunningly beautiful Cadillac Palace Theatre, I finally took in a Disney stage musical.

ANOTHER FAMOUS BALCONY SCENE Romeo and Juliet isn’t the only play with a famous balcony scene.

A DARKLY HILARIOUS REVIVAL The 1989 cult classic film, Heathers (if you haven’t seen it, it’s a friggin’ must) preceeded the film Mean Girls (2004) by fifteen years.
