BWW Reviews: Janis Joplin and the Black Blues Divas are Alive and Well at CPH
by Roy Berko - August 03, 2012
There is a love-in going on at the Cleveland Play House's Allen Theatre between Janis Joplin and the audience. Janis Joplin? She's dead. She died in 1970 at the age of 27. You'd never know it from the happenings on the CPH stage. Mary Bridget Davies, who took over the role opening night, doesn't imitate Janis, she is Janis!

BWW Reviews: The Sound of Music Climbs Every Mountain at Porthouse
by Roy Berko - July 30, 2012
Many consider THE SOUND OF MUSIC the greatest American musical. Others think of it as a sentimental piece of fluff. Whatever their view, few can sit and listen passively to the likes of such songs as My Favorite Things, Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Do-Re-Mi, and Maria. This is Rogers and Hammerstein at their best.

The Indigo Girls Play Playhousesquare's Palace Theatre, 11/9
by Laura Meltzer - July 27, 2012
With fourteen studio albums under their belt, Grammy-winning folk-rock duo Indigo Girls are known for their beautifully crafted songs that revel in spirited simplicity. Alternating richly textured storytelling with moody ruminations on modern-world worries, their most recent album Beauty Queen Sister, reveals a fierce longing for a more idyllic existence while still celebrating the extraordinary in everyday living. Thanks to its graceful mix of openhearted songwriting and lush, intricate arrangements-not to mention powerful performances by the band and their brigade of guest musicians-Beauty Queen Sister ultimately allows the listener to slip into the sort of dreamy serenity that Amy Ray and Emily Saliers sing of striving for.

BWW Reviews: DAMN YANKEES...An Enjoyable Evening of Escapist Theatre at Porthouse
by Roy Berko - June 18, 2012
Probably the golden age of musical theatre in the US was from 1950 to 1960. Great scripts like King and I, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story were staged. Also produced were such flops as Salad Days, Zuleika, Ankles Away, The Vamp, ShaNgri-La, Shinbone Alley, and Free As Air. Most shows were of the neither great nor flop variety. These included the likes of Call Me Madam, Guys and Dolls, Paint Your Wagon, Can-Can, Wonderful Town, Fanny, and The Pajama Game. Also included in the list was DAMN YANKEES, now on stage at Porthouse Theatre.
