Review: Heggie-Scheer MOBY-DICK Triumphs in New Foglia Production at the Met
by Richard Sasanow - Mar 4, 2025
MOBY-DICK--Herman Melville’s epic tale of obsession and man-versus-nature, succinctly adapted by composer Jake Heggie with Gene Scheer’s taut libretto--roared into the Met Monday night and begged only one question: What took so long for it to get here?

Review: WICKED at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Nov 8, 2024
Dear Readers, something struck me last night while watching the juggernaut musical “Wicked”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. No, it wasn’t a flying monkey. It’s just how incredible this show is. It’s withstood the test of time ever since it’s Broadway premiere back in 2003 even though it didn’t win the Tony for Best Musical (that year it went to “Avenue Q”). It’s still running on Broadway, there have been tour after tour, and now we even have a huge blockbuster movie version coming to theaters in a few weeks. But why? For that answer I think we should take a look at this current run which, while not my favorite viewing of the show, still exemplifies what makes this show great.

Review: DREAMGIRLS at The Muny
by James Lindhorst - Jun 29, 2024
Tiffany Mann is magnificent in The Muny's DREAMGIRLS as Effie White. She is a powerhouse performer with riveting stage presence and gigantic voice. Her heartbroken, resentful, and bitter portrayal painted a determined Effie who would not be pushed aside.
