Review - Let's Hear Some Stephen Sondheim on the Campaign Trail!
Aren't you tired of presidential candidates choosing rock songs like 'Barracuda' and 'Our Country' for their campaign themes? Who listens to that kind of music? (I mean, besides 99.

Review - Call Me When The Understudy's On
Some actors are known not only for their stage work but for their political or personal beliefs or for events in their off-stage life.
Review - A Body Of Water: Hell is Other People's Existential Theatre
Lee Blessing's plays have always shown a wonderful knack for vivid story-telling (A Walk In The Woods, Cobb), but in his new Off-Broadway offering, A Body Of Water, the author is intentionally not telling us the story.
Review - The Seagull: Accent On Youth
While it's exceedingly doubtful that Kristin Scott Thomas' Madame Arkadina could play a 15-year-old, as she famously claims in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, a 25-year-old may not exactly be out of her range.
Review - Dial G For Greenberg
They say you can get a lot of things on Craig's List; a date… a job… arrested… But actor and stand-up comic Bob Greenberg got the title of Best Alfred Hitchcock Look-A-Like of 2008.
Review - 'Here's to Tin Pan Alley, a Yankee rally, a show like Sally…'
Thanks to Wayman Wong for bringing this New York Post article to my attention.
Review - Equus: Losing My Religion
It's easy to forget how ravishingly absorbing an evening at Equus can be if you only consider it as Peter Shaffer's scripted words.
Review - Fifty Words: Who's Afraid of Alaska Woolf?
Ah, there's nothing like watching the marriage of a pair of tortured intellectuals crumble before our eyes from the safe distance of an auditorium seat to happily send audience members to the nearest nightcap retreat with that special glow that comes from a satisfying night at the theatre.
Review - A Tale of Two Cities: Barack Obama Put It Best...
Although I hadn't read any of the first wave of reviews, by the time I was seated for my post-opening night press performance at the Hirschfeld it was pretty much common knowledge to the entire Broadway community that the new (and from the looks of her Playbill bio, the only) creation from bookwrite
Review - Mommy, why do they keep singing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and...
Okay, so New York City Opera has commissioned Philip Glass to write a new opera about Walt Disney.
Review - Oklahoma! at Paper Mill: Big and Boisterous Again
How exactly does Curly know the height of an elephant's eye? I don't mean to doubt the intelligence or inquisitiveness of the guy, but if I asked a pre-statehood Oklahoma cowboy how high the corn has grown, the first response I'd expect wouldn't be a comparison to the height of a proboscidea nati
Review - The Glass Cage: Immediate Family
As I was leaving the Mint Theatre after their simply marvelous production of J.

In today's New York Post, Michael Riedel is critical of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust for granting a $200,000 prize for the purpose of nurturing American Playwrights to Tony Kushner instead of to a deserving unknown.
Review - Irena's Vow: Tovah Feldshuh's Triumph
At the beginning of Dan Gordon's engrossing and uplifting drama, Irena's Vow, Tovah Feldshuh, as real life heroin Irena Gut Opdyke, is introduced to a high school auditorium filled with students to tell them about her experiences as a 19-year-old trying to hide 12 Jews in Nazi occupied Poland.
Review - [title of prediction]

Review - Forbidden Broadway Goes To Rehab & The Tempest
'Only the great deserve the darts of satire,' proclaimed an advertisement for the New York leg of the Bolshoi Ballet Company's 1936 American tour, a classy reply to the spoofing they were receiving from George Balanchine's dance piece La Princesse Zenobia, a highlight of George Abbott and Rodgers an
Review - That's Not Puck, It's Mister Softee: Adventures in Outdoor Theatre
While the phrase 'Shakespeare in the Park' brings to most New Yorker's minds thoughts of getting up early and waiting in line for hours to see one of the Public Theater's Delecorte productions, savvy Gothamites know that the warmer weather annually brings dozens of free outdoor Shakespeare performan
Review - The Marvelous Wonderettes & Beast
There's an interesting point buried beneath the innocuous entertainment of writer/director Roger Bean's The Marvelous Wonderettes, a somewhat cute little show utilizing girl group and female soloist pop hits from the 1950s and 60s.
Review - Enter Laughing: Spring Awakening Goes To The Bronx?
What's that? You've seen Spring Awakening 87 times and you were wondering if there were any other musicals about sex-crazed teenagers who rebel against their parents and express their innermost thoughts when time stands still and songs act as internal monologues? Well it just so happens the show f
Review - Goldilocks: Lousy Title, Fun Show
It's my firm belief that if composer Leroy Anderson, lyricist Joan Ford and bookwriter/lyricists Walter & Jean Kerr had named their brash and funny 1958 musical comedy about the love/hate relationship between a silent movie director and his reluctant star anything other than Goldilocks, it might not
