STANDING OVATIONS, INNER DEMONS By the time Jeffrey Seller is having sex in a gym sauna—one of the more unfiltered anecdotes in Theater Kid—it’s clear this isn’t your typical Broadway memoir.

Theater Review: OKLAHOMA! (Cygnet Theatre in San Diego)
OKLAHOMA! RIDES AGAIN– THIS TIME WITH DEPTH IN THE SADDLE When gay playwright Lynn Riggs wrote the rather dark Green Grow the Lilacs, his eighth play, and saw it produced in 1931, it’s likely he never dreamed it would be turned into an upbeat musical that would still be hitting stages 94 years later. Thirteen…

Dance Review: GISELLE (ABT at Metropolitan Opera House)
ABT’S GISELLE IS A TRU RENAISSANCE OF ROMANTICISM Very few ballets have made their mark like Giselle, the jewel of Romantic dance.

Theater Review: THE NINA VARIATIONS (Broadwater Studio)
SEAGULL INTERRUPTED An extraordinarily well-written play—and a perfect choice for the Hollywood Fringe—Steven Dietz’s 75-minute one-act, The Nina Variations, takes the final scene of Chekhov’s The Seagull—that charged, heartbreaking reunion between Nina and Treplev—and explodes it into 43 compact riffs, each a new lens on longing.

THE LAST OF THE PHILOSOPHERS AT THE PIANO The fingers were careful, almost tentative. Not cautious, a word Brendel would have objected to, but curious. Each phrase felt like a question.
