Opera Review: LA BOHÈME (San Francisco Opera)
LOVE, LOSS, AND THE PULSE OF PARIS San Francisco Opera’s most beloved production is back, and it’s as heartbreakingly beautiful as ever. La Bohème, Puccini’s timeless tale of love, art, and inevitable loss, holds a special place in the city’s heart—it’s the company’s most performed opera, first staged here in 1923, just one year after…

BROADWAY STARS UNDER THE STARS If you’ve ever wanted to hear Michael Feinstein conduct an orchestra while a pulchritude of peacocks prance in the background, you’re in for one of LA’s most delightfully surreal summer experiences.

Broadway Review: CALL ME IZZY (Studio 54)
SMART SELLS IT Jean Smart is a phenomenal stage actress of great depth and specificity. Not exactly news but since she’s possibly best known as the warm-hearted and slightly naïve “Charlene Stillfield” on the iconic television sitcom Designing Women, it might bear repeating. Currently starring at Studio 54 in the riveting new play Call Me…

Theater Review: AN ILIAD (Court Theatre, University of Chicago)
STORYTELLING THAT LAUNCHES A THOUSAND SHIPS There is a moment in Court Theatre’s fourth (!) iteration of An Iliad where The Poet holds a flashlight below his chin—I immediately flashed back to memories of ghost stories told in a tent while lights were supposed to be out. The conceits of Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare’s…

BEYOND THE MARQUEE: BEHIND-THE-SCENES SPECTACLE OF CASINO-SET PRODUCTIONS
One thing is clear: casino movies have always drawn in audiences, combining high-stakes, glamour, and exciting stories.

Theater Review: RAG DOLL ON A BOMB SITE (Hudson Guild Theatre; Part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival)
THIS SHOW NEEDS A LOTTA LENYA I always look forward to the shows of Shelley Cooper at the Hollywood Fringe.

Barnum were…

Theater Review: BOOK OF MORMON (National Tour)
A MUSICAL SALTIER THAN SALT LAKE ITSELF Let’s start the actual religious text called The Book of Mormon, published in 1830. Without going into all its details about other planets, Jesus visiting America, and more–suffice it to say that if you weren’t raised with it, it sounds a bit bizarre. So when you give already-unconventional…

Theater Review: CHARMIN THE MUSICAL (Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre; Hollywood Fringe Festival)
SQUEEZABLE THEATER Those dark days all seem so long ago. The face masks, drive-thru testing, fear of crowded indoor spaces, and some idiot assuring us, “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” Yes, I’m talking COVID-19, which in 2020 spread worldwide, causing global shortages in ventilators, vaccines,…

Theater Review: MIKE BLAHA: INTERNATIONAL JOKE (Broadwater Studio, Hollywood Fringe Festival)
Unlike his previous shows at The Hollywood Fringe — Spank the Monkey and Shagadelic: The Origins of Slang Words for Doing It — Michael Blaha has shed his stage persona of Professor Richard Fondler and presents himself in the aptly named Mike Blaha: International Joke. In taking this step, Blaha has proven what was already obvious:…

Dance Review: THE EUTERPIDES & SERENADE (American Contemporary Ballet at Television City)
BEAUTY IN STEP: GRACE, MELODIES, AND ACB’S ELEGANT NEW WORKS Few phrases in the world of classical music fill me with as much excitement and dread as “world premiere.” This applies even with companies I like.
