Theater Review: THE 70s! THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE ALBUM (Lamb’s Players Theatre in Coronado)
A GREAT 70s TRIBUTE HAS VINYL-LY ARRIVED Normally, calling a show predictable isn’t a compliment. But when I heard that director Kerry Meads and musical director Vanda Eggington were once again teaming up for a musical tribute, The 70s! The Golden Age Of The Album, I predicted a joyous celebration of feel-good music, performed by…

Theater Review: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (Backyard Renaissance Theatre Company)
STILL PLENTY TO DESIRE A Streetcar Named Desire was one of the greatest hits for playwright Tennessee Williams. Born in 1911, he didn’t have any major successes until The Glass Menagerie premiered on Broadway in 1945. While that certainly put him on the theatrical map, it was Elia Kazan’s 1947 staging of Streetcar that truly…
-
Theater Review: ONE MAN POE (Stephen Smith on Tour)
A MONODRAMA OF SHADOWS AND SHATTERED SANITY Stephen Smith’s One Man Poe at the Broadwater Studio comes in two one-hour servings, with each serving offering two of the author’s most macabre and disturbing pieces. The first part consists of “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.” The second part comprises “The Black Cat”…

Highly Recommended Concert: MOONLIGHT MELODIES: AN EVENING WITH THE CROONERS (Pasadena POPS)
CROONING SOON UNDER THE MOON Picture this: you’re sprawled on grass under a canopy of stars, wine in hand, while Michael Feinstein conducts a full orchestra just yards away. Behind him, actual peacocks strut across the stage like they own the place. This isn’t a fever dream, it’s Moonlight Melodies: An Evening with the Crooners,…
-
Off-Broadway Review: DILARIA (DR2 Theatre in Union Square)
ELLA STILLER’S DILARIA: A DEBUT IN EXTREMIS Three striking Off-Broadway debuts anchor Dilaria, a sharp, volatile new play by Julia Randall at the DR2—the Daryl Roth Theater’s 99-seat space just off Union Square. All three actors arrive with formal training in acting but have mostly appeared in TV and film since graduating. That cinematic background…

UNDERSTANDING RTP AND VOLATILITY IN ONLINE SLOT GAMES
Ever seen “RTP” or “volatility” mentioned on a slot game and felt confused about what they actually mean? You’re not alone. These two things play a big role in how the game works and what kind of experience you’ll have while playing. So if you’re into online slots or just starting out, learning these terms…

Concert Review: BROADWAY IN THE PARK (Signature Theatre and Wolf Trap with Lindsay Mendez and Jessie Mueller)
BROADWAY WELL-REPRESENTED IN A NIGHT OF MUSIC AND COMARADERIE From the first gleaming brass notes of Bernstein’s Candide Overture, music director Jon Kalbfleisch deftly led the Wolf Trap Orchestra through the piece’s shifting tempos and moods, setting the stage for an effervescent evening of mostly classic musical theater numbers written by Broadway’s best, including Styne, Berlin, Sondheim, and Finn….

Theater Interview: LARRY FULLER, CHOREOGRAPHER (Appearing at Broadway Showstoppers at CV Rep)
A Celebration of Legacy: Larry Fuller in Conversation Larry Fuller’s career has spanned some of the most influential and transformative moments in musical theater history.

Theater Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA (Invictus Theatre Co.)
CHICAGO-BORN AND HEAVEN-SENT, THIS IS NOT A REVIVAL. IT’S A RECKONING. Angels in America is one of the greatest plays in the American theatre canon. Period. Tony Kushner created a two-part epic story of unforgettable characters, both lovable and despicable, that captures a moment in American history—the Ronald Reagan era—that changed our community forever. If…
-
Film Review: THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (Directed by Wes Anderson)
ANDERSON’S REPUBLIC OF OBJECTS Something has shifted in Wes Anderson’s dollhouse universe. The Phoenician Scheme arrives with all the expected geometric precision, but underneath the familiar symmetries lurks an unfamiliar bite. Arms dealer Anatole “Zsa-Zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro) has survived six assassination attempts by the time we meet him in 1950. He’s a jaded…
-
Cabaret Review: SHAKE IT UP: A SHAKESPEARE CABARET (Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA)
SHAKEN AND STIRRED “Shake it up” is exactly what this cabaret-style production does—blending rock ’n’ roll and R&B classics with lines from Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets. The focus is on love: love as passion, love as pain, love as betrayal—romantic love in all its forms, as expressed by Hamlet and Ophelia, Beatrice and Benedick, Romeo…
-
Theater Review: THE COLOR PURPLE (Goodman Theatre)
COLOR ME DISAPPOINTED I came to see the Goodman Theatre’s current production of The Color Purple with a complicated history. I devoured Alice Walker’s novel three times as a callow teenager and recoiled from Spielberg’s 1985 Disneyfied cinematic adaptation, abandoning the VHS midway through. Since then, The Color Purple has been adapted into a Broadway…

Dance Review: PILOBOLUS: OTHER WORLDS COLLECTION (Tour at The Joyce Theater, NYC)
DEFYING GRAVITY… AND CONVENTION Since its founding in 1971, Pilobolus has made a name for itself by celebrating the expressive potential of the human body—its weight, balance, connectivity, and vulnerability. Now, 54 years later, their mission continues to resonate with vitality, humor, and heart. Currently in residence at The Joyce Theater (June 24–July 13), the…

Theater Review: THE MOONWALKERS: A JOURNEY WITH TOM HANKS (The Saunders Castle at the Boston Park Plaza)
FLY ME TO THE MOON… AND INTO HISTORY A song, a wish, a dream, a childhood astronaut fantasy in a family kiddie pool—Tom Hanks taps into all of it in The Moonwalkers, an amazing, enlightening, educational, and downright thrilling immersive experience about the NASA Space Program. Co-written and narrated by Hanks himself, it’s now showing…

Highly Recommended Theater: MR. PUPPY THE MUSICAL (Off-Broadway’s AMT Theater – July 6 thru 16, 2025)

Theater Review: ONE MAN POE (Stephen Smith on Tour)
MADNESS MADE FLESH I’ve seen several performances of Edgar Allan Poe’s poems and short stories over the years, but none compare to the artistry, intensity, and total immersion Stephen Smith brings to Poe’s descent-into-madness characters in One Man Poe at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The production is divided into two one-hour shows, each featuring…

Off-Off-Broadway Review: UH OH EXCLAMATION POINT KENDAL HARTSE QUESTION MARK LIVE AND IN CONCERT QUESTION MARK (The Gym at Judson Church)
RADIO-ACTIVE SATIRE (WITH SONGS) And now for something completely different. Presented for your amusement is a skillful skewering of the approach to fundraising—or, to put it more plainly, begging for money—in campaigns by public radio stations. These include frequent breaks in programming for on-air speakers’ earnest, self-congratulatory reminders of the uniquely crucial, indispensable value of…

Theater Obituary: MARK BROKAW (A Tribute to the Director’s “Cry-Baby” on Broadway)
In Praise of a Misjudged Misfit: Mark Brokaw and the Undeserved Fate of Cry-Baby In the wake of director Mark Brokaw‘s untimely passing at 65 yesterday, I find myself returning not to one of his celebrated triumphs, such as How I Learned to Drive, but to a show that critics swatted away with a smirk…

Theater Review: TOM & ELIZA (TUTA in Chicago)
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ What is theatre? This was the question that popped into my head as I took my seat in the tiny TUTA Theatre space in Chicago’s Ravenswood Manor neighborhood, ready to take in their production of Celine Song’s Tom & Eliza: a…
