BROADWAY THEATER REVIEWS

Is the show HILARIOUS? You bet your Channel suit it is. Are the ladies top-notch and in terrific voice? HELL YEAH, THEY ARE! Each and every line fluff, trip up and gaff onstage was grist for the ladies' comedy mill and each time something went awry or a joke didn't land, a fresh response (especially...

If you were looking for chill that about tops the list of good chill. The other night in the Birdland Theater Harkness turned a series of (mainly) 70s songs that hearken back to the golden age of Classic Rock into his own personal showcase on 'how to play a guitar.'...

For all her sexy coolness though, her performance was right out front, bold, daring, and original... Coasting somewhere between the jazz of today and the pop world of the 60s, her amalgamation in sounds was perfect for the 2020s. In fact, her stylings ran such the amazing gamut from jazz, to swing, ...

In a?oeClaywoman,a?? the in-character improviser Michael Cavadias portrays a 500 million-year-old extraterrestrial in love with planet earth, who says she'll keep on coming as long as there is an earth to visit. Interviewed by celebrity guests who ask about where she is from and why she has been vi...

Seth Rudetsky and Patina Miller share some backstage stories as well as some of her backstory on the way to becoming an incredible stage and screen actress. In between, she sang a few songs at a nearly peerless level....

She talks about the mundane and the explosive; from newspaper wedding features to style/life advice from the one and only Joan Crawford, combining them in her cauldron of comedy, so, one can never go wrong spending the cash to see Julie Halston on stage. Whether she is creating a character in a play...

And then, of course, there was Glenn Close, Glenn Close, Glenn Close. Three times she came to the stage to read and three times she touched her audience in ways that are probably still affecting them the following day. It is immeasurable, the kind of impact a creative work like TRANSFORMATION can ha...

One would hope that ANDRE DE SHIELDS: OLD DAWG; NEW TRICKS would find the theatrical life it deserves beyond this one concert. The story of JELLY and what has become of him is not just one for all, but one for the ages....

This is a Diva to watch for and experience for yourselves in a nightclub setting or wherever drinks and gays in all their ways gather to FEEL the art of drag. For all this entertainment, fun and drag magic we give Ms. Vodka Stinger a hearty 5 out of 5 Rainbows....

The New York Pops' performance at Carnegie Hall was just an overwhelmingly beautiful way to experience the music of theater (and I imagine if they did a John Williams score too it would feel similar.) Having seen most of these tunes played with just a piano and sometimes with a few more instruments,...

Billy Recce is doing well for himself and as a performer. With a musical still running and another show at 54 Below, he's making being a new writer in New York look easy......

So much of the show really landed quite perfectly with the audience on the night and felt so hip and current, along with being toe-tappingly enjoyable, touching and funny it is a sincere wish that HELL ON EARTH can pull a BE MORE CHILL and find life beyond the YATC summer camp and concert stages....

Manhattan musical duo Michael Garin and Mardie Millit have been known to stir up delicious musical mayhem wherever they go. Michael is a Drama Desk Award-winning composer/lyricist (for Song of Singapore) and Emerson College dropout who has made a living entertaining New Yorkers, playing the piano an...

Billy Gilman is showing off a new sound and a new attitude in clubs around the country, and his New York fans were beside themselves with joy at Joe's Pub last night...

In all a dozen numbers that kept the laughs coming and had the audience doubled over slapping their knees and tables and winding up in total hilarious agreements about that man falling into the sewer and DYING! Mel Brooks himself would have been proud hearing his songs being given such treatment by ...

Broadway veteran Elizabeth Ward Land (AMAZING GRACE, MEMPHIS, THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL) returns to The Green Room 42 with her acclaimed concert STILL WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE- THE SONGS OF LINDA RONSTADT for three shows, January 16, 17 and 18, 2020 at 7pm.

Nora Palka is an actress/singer/songwriter and all-around ridiculous human with an instrument that has been described by the Washington Post as 'golden-voiced.'

Barbara Bleier and Austin Pendleton perform as if a pair of life long friends. Acting well and singing with gusto, the duo lit up the stage at Pangea!...

Kurt Elling remains as much a luminary of the art form. Kurt feels as much a throwback as he does new age. Joined by some familiar faces, Elling gave the audience a bluesy tune to a'escape the dread of modern day living.'...

2020 is upon us, we're back in the twenties! The cousins that get them shows buzzin', Brock Harris and Johnson Brock, bring you The Secret, Not-So-Secret Show. Mums the word but if you happen upon this ad please join us for a rousing night of jazz and drinks a?"speakeasy style. Rumor has it Courtney...

Surprisingly, the lady was not nearly as graphically bawdy as many of her contemporaries. Oh, there's innuendo and winks at naughtiness a-plenty, but there's no profanity and she lets the audience go the final steps into their own dirty minds without pushing them too much. For this rainbow reviewer,...

After a raucous sold-out performance this summer, Amber Martin returns with her tribute to the legendary Continental Baths and Bathhouse-era Bette Midler... in Bathhouse Bette. This performance focuses on the early 70's era of Bette Midler during Continental Baths days singing with her as yet unknow...

Holding it all together throughout was Mr. Simmons himself, with expert conducting, a perfunctory piano playing style, and his superior rock/pop/gospel vocals, he truly brought the concert to his cabaret....

Yours truly and the rest of her audience on the night were aching with laughter most of the time. She is also a very good singer and a funny B!+ch. She plays with the audience and plays TO the audience....
