Review: THE BIG FAT CHRISTMAS SHOW at El Portal Theatre
by Amanda Callas - Dec 10, 2025

Standout moments include “Lonely Jew”  by a brilliant Rena Strober, which made the entire evening for me.  This hilarious and wildly irreverent ode to the holiday season includes Strober belting “Oy Vey Maria” and pulling missing Hanukkah candles out of her lady bits to add to her menorah.  I could happily watch this on loop through the rest of December.

Review: THE WEDDING SINGER at Colony Theatre
by Amanda Callas - Jun 19, 2025

The Wedding Singer is a delightful retro romantic comedy musical at the Colony Theatre in Burbank through June 29th.  Confectionary light, with killer choreography and eye-candy 1980s costumes and sets, The Wedding Singer is a big whipped cream dollop of pure joy.
