Surfside Players Holds Auditions for CHAPTER TWO, 1/2-3
by BWW News Desk - January 02, 2011
Surfside Players, Cocoa Beach, rings in the new year with OPEN AUDITIONS for Neil Simon's Chapter Two. George Schneider, a recently widowed writer, is introduced to soap opera actress Jennie Malone by his press agent brother Leo and her best friend Faye. Jennie's unhappy marriage to a football player has dissolved after six years, and she's not certain if she's ready to start dating yet. Neither is George, whose memories of his first wife threaten to interfere with any effort to embrace a new romance. It's a bumpy trip on the road to Dreamland for these not-so-young lovers. While Leo has a fling with Faye in a farcical subplot, George and Jennie stumble on, overcoming both their hesitation on the rebound and their emotional neediness.

The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach Welcomes 2011 With CLINT HOLMES
by Beau Higgins - December 31, 2010
Clint Holmes is more than a singer. His powerful voice and magnetic stage presence embrace the upbeat side of life. His first break came when Joan Rivers invited him to be her sidekick and announcer on the now defunct The Late Show. This was followed by a two-year stint on Entertainment Tonight for which he served as their musical feature and event correspondent, and later landed his own Emmy winning talk/variety show entitled, New York at Night. Among his various recordings are the Top Ten smash hit Playground In My Mind (My Name is Michael). A Las Vegas favorite, Clint Holmes was selected as 'Best Kept Secret' by Las Vegas Life Magazine, and 'Best Singer' (two years in a row), 'Best All-Around Las Vegas Performer' and 'Favorite Male Las Vegan' by the Review-Herald.

ROCK OF AGES The Most Joyous Rock Musical In Years!
by Beau Higgins - December 30, 2010
I was prepared to have difficulty sitting through ROCK OF AGES, the musical that opened at the Broward Center Tuesday night. Hard rock is not 'my thing,' and I had heard this show described as a celebration of 1980s rock music and also as being 'Mamma Mia' for dudes. Thank the theatrical gods, they got it right.

'Disney's Beauty And The Beast' A Shockingly Cheap And Dismal Production
by Beau Higgins - December 29, 2010
A show such as 'Beauty And The Beast' cannot be done with sets and costumes that seem to have been bought from the local party supply store. Nor can it employ performers who do not yet have their Equity cards. Going 'on the cheap' can be okay for some shows. Not for this one. Not for a stage adaptation of the only animated film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar (prior to animated films getting their own category, that is.)
