Review: BYE BYE BIRDIE at The 5th Avenue Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Jun 14, 2025

Dear Readers, there are some shows that just hold a special place in your heart, even if they may not age as well as you hoped. Charles Strouse and Lee Adams’ classic “Bye Bye Birdie”, currently playing at the 5th Avenue Theatre, is one of those shows for me. I loved both movie versions, saw what I consider to be the quintessential production back in 1990 starring Tommy Tune and Ann Reinking. Hell, I’ve even done the show several years ago. So, I’m a little picky about it when I see it again, and while this current production doesn’t surpass my previous experiences (I doubt anything could), it was certainly a solid production with a lot of fun moments going for it.

Review: DEAD HARD, COLAB Tower
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 14, 2024

If there was an award for the most art forms smooshed into one show, COLAB’s Dead Hard could be a winner. This blend of panto, comedy, immersive and drag is a satisfying mess that somehow (just) works.
