Review - Fiorello!
In musicals like Fiddler On The Roof, She Loves Me and The Apple Tree, the team Jerry Bock (music) and Sheldon Harnick (lyrics) once graced Broadway with scores that found poetry and elegance in the lives of everyday people.

BWW Reviews: WHAT A GIRL WANTS
Sometimes in life what is needed most is editing.
Review - A Chanukah Charol
It's a rare performer that can generate so much affection from an audience by regarding them with unrestrained contempt, but Jackie Hoffman has cultivated a unique niche for herself in New York's lengthy history of comic actors who partner with their Jewish heritage acting as straight man.
BWW Reviews: National Yiddish Theatre Charmingly Chronicles the Jewish Immigrant Experience in THE GOLDEN LAND
Have you ever wondered what might have happened to Tevya and Golde and their whole mishpucha had there been a sequel to Fiddler on the Roof? Well, the National Yiddish Theatre-Folksbiene's production of The Golden Land may be the most unique way to find out how immigrant Russian Jews faired on New
BWW Reviews: Rock WILK's Gritty BROKE WIDE OPEN Plays 45th Street Theatre

From The Jazz Singer to Fiddler On The Roof to Yentl and beyond, Jewish drama on the American stage has regularly explored the topic of youthful straying from traditional ways.
Review - The Sound of Music
Yes, I'll say it.
Review - Giant
If the world were a little more just and the general public's taste for musical theatre a lot more cerebral, news of a new Michael John LaChiusa musical would cause the same kind of box office frenzy that in the 1940s and 50s greeted announcements of Rodgers and Hammerstein's latest.
Review - Ivanov
Did somebody decide when I wasn't listening that this would be the season where all translations of classic plays must contain occasional forays into anachronistic contemporary language? First came An Enemy of the People and Cyrano de Bergerac, and now Carol Rocamora's adaptation of Chekhov's Ivan

Review - The Whale: Lonely Room
You know those people who can eat whatever they want and never gain a pound? Charlie, the central character of Samuel D.
Review - House For Sale
The program for Transport Group's premiere production of director Daniel Fish's stage adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's essay, House For Sale, tells us that every performance is different, because each actor has apparently memorized the entire ninety minute piece and the sections of the text they per
Review - Wild With Happy
Don't tell God, but for some people pop culture not even a century old can provide the same kind of spiritual inspiration and comfort as the ancient texts and traditions of organized religion.
BWW Reviews: Root for the Good Guy at THE OTHER JOSH COHEN
Haven't you ever wished that you could go back in time and tell yourself something? You could just avoid disaster by saying to yourself "Don't forget your wallet on the store counter" or something less serious, like "Check your teeth for broccoli before the blind date.
Review - Morning Observation
The only trouble with these 90-minute musicals that start at 7pm is that I really can't get all that enthused over the big 8:15 number.
Review - Loni Ackerman's Next To Ab-Normal
I suppose there's nothing unusual about a little kid waking up one morning to see a group of her parents' friends socializing around the family piano.
