Review: JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE at Schoolhouse Theater Photo
Review: JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE at Schoolhouse Theater
by Bruce Apar - Dec 12, 2025

Those dramatis personae (ha!) and more are animated to a fare thee well by only two – count ‘em – two actors, Mr. Guy and Mr. Lang, who bring to their poly-personality assignments proficient physical suppleness and chameleon-like chops. I started to keep track of how many characters they essay, and then gave up – their number outpaced my jottings. Within a single scene, the two actors might exit and enter the stage as four different characters with seamless precision. It’s a wonder audience members don’t suffer whiplash.

Review: Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love! MOULIN ROUGE Brings All That, And More, To The McCallum
by David Green - Dec 11, 2025

The Tony Winning Best Musical MOULIN ROUGE was the highly anticipated opener to the McCallum's Broadway Season and it brought an enthusiastic audience all the promised spectacle, glitz, excess, bawdiness and More, More, More!!! There is much to love about this thrill ride of a production -- but the real headliners of this jukebox musical are Justin Townsend's lighting, Derek McLane's scenic design and Sonya Teyah's Tony Winning choreography. They stole the show, even from the superbly talented cast!
