Sake is the natural choice when enjoying Japanese food and Asian cuisine.  But it can also be a welcome patio sip or delightful for toasting.  Whether you’re dining out or eating in, you can likely identify one of the oldest and most well-regarded sake brands, Gekkeikan. Broadwayworld had the pleasure of speaking with Nick James, the SVP of Brand Management at Shaw-Ross, the exclusive importer for Gekkeikan since 2016.

Every so often a new artist comes along with a debut album that not only raises eyebrows, but curiosity in that the songs are so perfectly matched with the talent.

There are two main problems with doing a show about therapy, such as ACT's world premiere of "Seven Ways to Get There" currently playing. First, that someone else's therapy on stage can be good for the author but often times deadly for the audience. Luckily Bryan Willis and Dwayne J. Clark's new play avoids that trap. But the larger trap is that therapy doesn't really have a definite ending so you either portray an unrealistic look at the world of therapy or, as is the case here, the play just kind of ends as the people involved with the therapy continue onward working on their issues. And while the show definitely has engaging characters and performances, that lack of closure and finality for the audience doesn't work out so well theatrically.
