SPRING AWAKENING A Burst of Rock, Pop, Youth, And Sex
This show does things that your traditional musical does not do. That is where I begin to be perplexed. SPRING AWAKENING has what we might term traditional Broadway songs, including ballads and tuneful melodies. This is where Duncan Sheik on music and Steven Sater on lyrics certainly let us down. It...
'IN THE HEIGHTS' Tony Winning Slice Of Life Musical
I promise you that I wanted to love IN THE HEIGHTS. A few minutes into the show, I would have settled for just not disliking it. I am here to report that despite winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, IN THE HEIGHTS never reaches the heights it sets out for.

WICKED: This Is the One That Will Run Forever
My mom is residing in an assisted living facility in the Northeast. To this day she often reminds me of a time seemingly implanted on her forever. Her father took her to a movie. He took her to see THE WIZARD OF OZ starring Judy Garland when Mom was nine years old. While sitting in the theater h...
'700 Sundays' - Bravo Billy Crystal!
I never imagined that a one man play starring and written by the comedian Billy Crystal, would make me cry more than any other play I have ever seen.
It was magic last night as '700 Sundays' opened at the Arscht Center. Within moments of its beginning, Mr. Crystal had us all in the palm of his h...
'Legally Blonde The Musical' - This One's For The Girls
This musical version of the popular Reese Witherspoon film is pure pink bubblegum. Unfortunately, the gum never pops....
'The Color Purple' - Hallelujah! I Loved It
Based on Ms. Walker's novel and the masterful Steven Spielberg film, 'The Color Purple' has been turned into a glorious musical that will likely have anyone cheering near the beginning and crying and cheering at the end. Certainly not a musical designed for children, the heart of the story is Celie...
Topol in 'Fiddler' - A Goose Bump Inducing Musical Miracle
Thank the theatrical Gods that this production is a recreation of the Jerome Robbins original. I can not think of any production of any musical anywhere that comes close to what Mr. Robbins accomplished here around forty five years ago. I shall not be presumptuous and foolish and pick apart any indi...
'Jersey Boys' An Electric Powerhouse Of Thrills
This Tony winning Best Musical, simply gets everything right. I would never have imagined that the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, would bring together a creative team that would helm a theatrical landmark. After this show, I will certainly never think of juke box musicals as something to...
'A Chorus Line' - May It Run Forever
After all these decades, A CHORUS LINE retains its power, humor, and poignancy. Its stage magic and cinematic direction have never been equaled (Bennett's DREAMGIRLS did come pretty close, but nothing is A CHORUS LINE.)...
'Avenue Q' - A Love Of A Show
AVENUE Q takes places in a fantasy world with real people, puppet people, puppet monsters and other special surprises. However, don't let the puppets make you think this is a show for the kids. While AVENUE Q may not be raunchy, it is certainly very naughty.
...
'Avenue Q' - A Naughty, Tuneful, Witty Delight
In substance, AVENUE Q is a distant relative of THE LION KING, television's SESAME STREET and many a yuppie sitcom in the mold of FRIENDS. The actor/singer/dancers in AVENUE Q also serve as the show's puppet masters. AVENUE Q is inhabited by human people, puppet people, and puppet 'monsters.' The in...
Review: 'Sweeney Todd' - This Is Why Musical Theater Was Born
It is indeed perhaps the finest work ever to grace any theater at any time. It is difficult to ascertain that this is even the great master, Stephen Sondheim's, truest masterpiece. It probably is. However, with the gifts of COMPANY, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, FOLLIES, INTO THE WOODS, SUNDAY IN THE PARK W...
