NoHo Arts Brings Pirates to the North Pole


Perhaps one of the best family Christmas shows returns this season to NoHo Arts Center: Yo Ho Ho! A Pirate's Christmas. It was my choice for Best Family Show in 2007.What puts it on top? It's light, frothy and fun, but most urgently it encourages the audience to interact with the actors throughout. Interaction is foremost in getting kids' attention. The pirates trample through the aisles, swing on ropes from the audience to the stage and never let us forget that they are pirates ... and naughty. The kids love it, and most of the big kids as well! Kudos to James J. Mellon for a theatrical staging of such bravado.

Bush Bashing has Musical Style


Never has a political mockery been more in need than in these turbulent, and let's face it, horrendously tragic times. And when the Commander-in-Chief is a 'smirking chimp' with a weaker grasp of the English language than a fifth grader, there is no better way to stick it to the man than with a sharp-witted musical.
