Review: TROUBLE IN MIND at Kansas City Actors Theatre
by Alan Portner - August 14, 2024
It is funny. It is a slice of life. It is a literal peek behind the curtain. Kansas City Actors Theatre production of Alice Childress’s TROUBLE IN MIND allows audiences a long-delayed opportunity to vision America (and its theatrical community) as it appeared in 1955 from an African American point of view. I was struck by how much our country has matured (mostly for the better) over eighty years.

Review: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Music Theater Heritage
by Alan Portner - August 04, 2024
Looking for a little relief from the ongoing political season? If so, I should like to recommend the outrageous, belly-laugh of a show now playing in the Music Theatre Heritage Grand Theater on the fourth floor of Crown Center described by another audience member as “awesome.” It is the self-deprecating, six-time Tony Winning, best musical of 1984, “La Cage aux Folles.”

Review: MOULIN ROUGE THE MUSICAL at American Theatre Guild
by Alan Portner - July 26, 2024
MOULIN ROUGE The Musical Is something entirely new to the wave of Juke Box musicals overwhelming the Great White Way. It is big, bold, brassy, and projects an altogether sexy sumptuousness while maintaining a sense of humor about itself. The audience leaves the theater on a massive sugar high, fully entertained. The dancing, vocals, lighting, sets, and orchestrations are all “par excellence.” It may not be challenging theater, but MOULIN ROUGE is great entertainment.

Review: BIG TROUBLE AT LITTLE YALTA at Central Standard Theatre
