Theater Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Kick-Off of the 2025 North American Tour at Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre)
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. Fittingly, it was the very first one they’d produced in 1994, Beauty and the Beast. While a…

Theater Review: EVITA (Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston in Waltham, MA)
ANOTHER FAMOUS BALCONY SCENE Romeo and Juliet isn’t the only play with a famous balcony scene. The London revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita has attracted attention for the decision to stage the signature song “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” on a balcony outside the London Palladium, disappointing many in the ticket-buying…

Theater Review: A WRINKLE IN TIME (Arena Stage)
CAST TRAVELS LIGHT-YEARS, SCORE FINDS A NEW UNIVERSE, THE BOOK GETS LOST IN SPACE. CAN THE WRINKLES IN THIS NEW MUSICAL BE IRONED OUT? Round about a lifetime ago, in the shadow of the Iron Curtain and the Cold War, Madeleine L’Engle wrote a fable for precocious children that she was pretty sure no one…

Theater Review: HEATHERS THE MUSICAL (New World Stages)
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. Later, it was adapted into a stage musical in 2014, four years before the Plastics sang their way onto Broadway. Now, eleven years later, Heathers the Musical…

Theater Review: BIG TIME TOPPERS (Theatre L’Acadie at Redtwist Theatre in Chicago)
SEND IN THE CLOWNS Farce is not a style of performance one sees too often these days and that’s probably because it is extraordinarily difficult to pull off, requiring complete commitment from cast and crew to its sensibilities, razor-sharp comic timing, physical comedy chops, and tight pacing and direction. There’s a lot that can go…

Theater Review: PUMP UP THE VOLUME (Los Angeles Premiere of A New Rock Musical)
A NEW MUSICAL HAS ARRIVED TO PUMP UP PATRONS FOR DECADES TO COME Allen Moyle’s 1990 film Pump Up the Volume starred Christian Slater as Mark, a graceless, socially awkward high school student in Phoenix, Arizona, a town so conservative that even the Saguaro cactus wore Bush/Quayle campaign buttons. Unable to fit in, Mark resorts…

Album Review: PHILIP GLASS VIOLIN CONCERTO NO. 1 (Anne Akiko Meyers with the LA Phil; Gustavo Dudamel, Conductor)
The Glass House Violin: Anne Akiko Meyers Illuminates a Minimalist Classic In the sprawling landscape of Philip Glass‘s output, his Violin Concerto No. 1 occupies a peculiar position. Written in 1987 as his first major venture into non-theatrical orchestral territory, the concerto emerged from a period when Glass was being nudged by conductor Dennis Russell…

DIANA KRALL BRINGS OLD-HOLLYWOOD ELEGANCE TO WOLF TRAP On the warm evening of July 3, the Filene Center at Wolf Trap filled nearly to capacity, its 7,028 seats glowing under the soft shimmer of vintage brass footlights.

Off-Off-Broadway Review: THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (The Gene Frankel Theatre)
A WESTERN WORTH REVISITING The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company, in collaboration with the Gene Frankel Theatre, brings back The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in a compelling and timely revival. Presented in two acts and running 110 minutes, the production benefits from the intimacy of a theater that seats fewer than 50. The result is a…

Concert Review: ALL-RACHMANINOFF PROGRAM WITH DANIIL TRIFONOV (Boston Symphony Orchestra with Andris Nelsons, conductor, Opening Night at Tanglewood)

Off-Broadway Review: BEAR GREASE (St. Luke’s Theatre)
JOYFUL, JERKY, AND JUST WHAT OFF-BROADWAY NEEDS There are two powerful reasons to see Bear Grease. First: The deeply felt curtain speech by Henry Cloud Andrade, co-writer/co-creator—with Crystle Lightning—of Bear Grease. With warmth and candor, he begins by gently thanking the audience for not expecting a full Grease revival. More importantly, he shares the staggering context…

Theater Review: PIPPIN (Jaxx Theatricals)
PIPPIN GOES HOLLYWOOD Pippin, with music and lyrics supplied by Stephen Schwartz, and book penned by Roger O. Hirson (who was best known for writing the script to the war flick The Bridge at Remagen) may have been an oddity when it opened on Broadway in 1972, given the choice of the central character, but…

WHEN INSPIRATION REQUIRES MORE ROOM THAN YOU HAVE
Most creative minds encounter the obstacle of lack of space, where their projects and imagination exceed their physical space.
