Review: CLUE at Penfold Theatre
by Victoria Schwarz - Sep 20, 2026

Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Starlight Theater
by Alan Portner - Sep 9, 2026

Disney’s Newsies does not merely seize the day. It dances on it, vaults over it and occasionally executes a backflip before the day knows what struck it. It takes an 1899 historical event as a jumping off place and imagines the history as it might have been retold in a 1930’s Busby Berkeley movie substituting teenage newsboys for the 1930s dancing girls.  The show gets high marks for entertainment.

Review: Klaus Nomi - Still Hovering Somewhere Between the Opera House and Outer Space
by Richard Sasanow - Sep 2, 2026

Klaus Nomi—born Klaus Sperber in Germany in 1944—was an otherworldly countertenor who materialized on New York’s downtown scene in the late 1970s. He always seemed to be conducting an improbable musical experiment: Could Saint-Saëns, Purcell, electronic pop, cabaret, rock and performance art somehow inhabit the same body? At Peter Danish’s Klaus Nomi Benefit Concert on Sunday, Aug. 30, benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the answer was a surprisingly emphatic yes.

by Sabrina Wallace - Aug 11, 2026
