BWW Reviews: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - Jerry Herman Musical Ends Short Run in Baltimore Nov. 7, 2011

by Charles Shubow — November 3, 2011
Christopher Sieber shines as Albin. George Hamilton...not so much....
BWW Reviews: The MET's American Buffalo: Worth An Antique Nickel

BWW Reviews: The MET's American Buffalo: Worth An Antique Nickel

by Jack L. B. Gohn — November 1, 2011
These are small-timers, and what makes their souls as small as their business, I think, is America itself, a place where there is no state religion nor any religion or code of ethics at all which anyone is required to internalize. Here you are free to be a scheming psychopath while talking a blue st...

BWW Reviews: The Vagabond Players' GODSPELL Brings Audience Under Its Spell

BWW Reviews: The Vagabond Players' GODSPELL Brings Audience Under Its Spell

by Giordana Segneri — October 31, 2011
The Vagabond Players opened Godspell Oct. 14, nearly simultaneously with the Broadway revival's preview, which leads up to an official Nov. 7 debut (the Vagabond Players have stated, in fact, their gratefulness for not having the rights to the production pulled). In the Vags' intimate, historic spac...
BWW Reviews: Actor’s Nightmare, With Wisecracks: Barrymore at The Rep

BWW Reviews: Actor’s Nightmare, With Wisecracks: Barrymore at The Rep

by Jack L. B. Gohn — October 31, 2011
The big reason for the audience's enjoyment, however, is the performance of Nigel Reed as Barrymore, who absolutely inhabits the legendary old ham's persona, grandiose and gross and catty and orotund. A strong physical resemblance to the man does not hurt either. ...
BWW Reviews: THE RIVALS at Center Stage - Not Quite Funny Enough

BWW Reviews: THE RIVALS at Center Stage - Not Quite Funny Enough

by Charles Shubow — November 1, 2011

BWW Reviews: LES MISERABLES at Kennedy Center's Opera House, Still a Must-See

BWW Reviews: Romanovs at the Brink: OTMA at UMBC

BWW Reviews: Romanovs at the Brink: OTMA at UMBC

by Jack L. B. Gohn — October 20, 2011
Olga is resigned to the fact that the individual niceness of herself and her sisters, and the somewhat more nuanced niceness of their father the Tsar, will have nothing to do with the outcomes at this point. The tides of history are flowing, and the Romanovs are about to be swept out to sea....
BWW Reviews: ANNA BELLA EEMA Shines Wild and Beautiful at the Strand

BWW Reviews: ANNA BELLA EEMA Shines Wild and Beautiful at the Strand

by Giordana Segneri — October 17, 2011
Anna Bella Eema would be a terribly depressing story were it not infused with such intense, infectious energy-so much so that it tumbles off the thrust stage and threatens to swallow whole the tiny, black-box space that's home to the Strand Theater Co. This energy is wild, untamed and mildly spiritu...

BWW Reviews: At Cross Porpoises: THE RIVALS

BWW Reviews: At Cross Porpoises: THE RIVALS

by Daniel Collins — October 10, 2011
A young captain loves a woman who loves an ensign who doesn't exist...or does he? A hair-trigger-tempered Irishman, an over-coiffed country bumpkin, a lover who'd cut off his heart to spite his own happiness, an overbearing father, a romance-loving lady, and a bubble-headed 'she-dragon' who never me...

BWW Reviews: FELA! Tour is "Priceless"

BWW Reviews: FELA! Tour is "Priceless"

by Charles Shubow — October 4, 2011
I remember how shocked and surprised I was when the Shakespeare Theatre announced it would be presenting the Tony-nominated musical Fela! I was fortunate to see this unique and unforgettable evening of theater on Broadway. ...

BWW Reviews: Queer Eye - TEA & SYMPATHY

BWW Reviews: Queer Eye - TEA & SYMPATHY

by Daniel Collins — October 3, 2011
When a young man at a 1950s boarding school isn't deemed a 'regular guy' by his peers, he seeks out 'tea and sympathy' and much more than that in Robert Anderson's famed play....
BWW Reviews: A Somewhat MISBEGOTTEN Moon at Heritage-O'Neill

BWW Reviews: A Somewhat MISBEGOTTEN Moon at Heritage-O'Neill

by Jack L. B. Gohn — September 26, 2011
Four long acts long, with casting challenges, bedeviled by attitudes modern audiences likely will not share, and, it must be said, self-indulgent as regards some of O'Neill's great weaknesses, Moon for the Misbegotten requires more than most companies and audiences can summon to put it across succes...
BWW Reviews: FPCT's THREE TALL WOMEN Will Keep You Thinking

BWW Reviews: FPCT's THREE TALL WOMEN Will Keep You Thinking

by Daniel Collins — September 26, 2011
Three women representing three stages of life--youth, middle age, the senior years. Why do people change? When is the happiest time in our lives? These questions and more are explored in Edward Albee's award-winning drama, 'Three Tall Women,' now at the Fells Point Corner Theatre....

BWW Reviews: Toby’s Razzle-Dazzles with CHICAGO Revival

BWW Reviews: Toby’s Razzle-Dazzles with CHICAGO Revival

by Jack L. B. Gohn — September 19, 2011
Put on your most cynical mood, the one in which you laugh at the predictable folly, venality and dishonesty of the human race, mix it with your ear for Jazz Age syncopation and great singing, get your buzz on for chorines flouncing athletically and with rhythmic precision in their undies, and go!...
BWW Reviews: @THE_MOMENT Comically Captures Life in 2011

BWW Reviews: @THE_MOMENT Comically Captures Life in 2011

by Giordana Segneri — September 19, 2011
The set for Salt Luck Arts' five-act @The_Moment: #5shortplaysonlifein2011 is simple to begin with and gets no more complicated as the performance progresses. This is a plus, since the stage is small and the ensemble cast's acting is good enough-very good enough, actually-to require little in terms ...
