BWW Review: We Could Have Danced All Night at MTW's MY FAIR LADY
by Don Grigware
- Oct 26, 2015
Called by many the perfect musical, My Fair Lady based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion has perhaps the wittiest and showiest debate between the sexes. Shaw despised marriage and loved to magnify human frailty, both female and male. And with Lerner and Loewe to create the book, music and lyrics, the result is a creation with music and story that flow together in ideal harmony. Even when it's at its abrasive best, it's funny; even when Professor Henry Higgins (Martin Kildare) is obnoxious, selfish and self-centered to the hilt, we cannot help but laugh with him...and love him. Despite what a man says about a woman, he cannot live without her, and vice versa. We were born to live in a love/hate relationship, to be at each other's throats and in the next second, rolling around in the hay. It's all a part of life and Shaw, and Lerner and Loewe displayed the ups and downs of romantic living better than anyone else...period. Now in an absolutely loverly production at MTW, Long Beach, the show plays through November 8 only.

Una prima da sogno per l'inaugurazione della stagione del Teatro Sistina. Accolti da una selva di telecamere e flash impazziti, Serena Autieri e Paolo Conticini sono arrivati sul red capet in sella alla mitica e rombante Vespa, vestiti in abiti di scena, abbracciati e sognanti come i due innamorati dell'indimenticabile film.

BWW Review: Theatre Memphis Plays 'Cats and Mouse' With WAIT UNTIL DARK
by Joseph Baker
- Oct 19, 2015
The set alone is testament as to why Theatre Memphis invariably is recognized during awards season for its designers -- two dominant windows admitting shifts in light as darkness falls, steps descending into a blind woman's apartment (steps on which menacing characters will align themselves as they focus on their sightless victim), a refrigerator that will become a hiding place, a source of danger, and a shield of protection. Frederick Knott's chiller (adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and suspensefully helmed by Director Tracey Zerwig Ford) is a tense and understated October alternative to the bucket of blood drenching poor CARRIE just across town at Circuit Playhouse.
