by Gabrielle Gervais
- Oct 6, 2014
With the new slew of TV shows on the horizon, I'm here to give you a preview of the brand-new CW dramedy JANE THE VIRGIN. The hour-long television show, based on the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, stars Gina Rodriguez as Jane. When she was a little girl, Jane's grandmother played by Ivonne Coll) instilled in her the great importance of keeping her virginity sacred, and Jane took that very seriously. Now as a twenty-three year old, Jane has a good job at a hotel and has found a wonderful boyfriend in Michael (Brett Dier). They have been together for two years and Micheal may not understand his girlfriend's values, he is respectful enough to not push boundaries. Things seem to be going swimmingly in Jane's life-until one fateful trip to the doctor's office. While Jane goes to her appointment for a pap smear, due to an overwhelmingly busy doctor's mistake, she is accidentally inseminated. The show follows Jane's life after that life-changing appointment.

BWW Reviews: Talented Broads Sing BROADS! THE MUSICAL
by Don Grigware
- Feb 22, 2010
I loved the four gals playing the Broads - all talented - but the show needs a major overhaul. Too many jokes are tired old cliches - and singing about side effects from medications? Audiences do not find that entertaining as many experience these very problems on a daily basis. No one was laughing the night I attended, because most of it wasn't funny! And death? Who wants to be reminded that funerals are like weddings, but at least at weddings you can smell your own flowers? Also not funny, guys! Especially for the majority of the audience - over 65!
