R. Bruce Connelly, one of Connecticut theater's gems, gives Neil Simon's LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS at Ivoryton Playhouse a shot in the arm with some charm and comic timing, but he and a willing cast can't fully resuscitate an aging play that's rather dated

The Last of the Red Hot Lovers, which opens at the Ivoryton Playhouse tonight, June 6th and runs through June 24th, introduces audiences to Barney Cashman, a 47-year-old restaurateur, who decides he needs to take a break from his 23-year-old marriage. On three different afternoons, he brings women to his mother's apartment while she's at the hospital volunteering. Behind plentiful laughs is a tender portrayal of a decent fellow who just can't succeed in sinning.

Theatre companies are always on the lookout for performance space. There are just not enough venues to house all the groups that have sprung up in the last few years. Even veteran companies have to sometimes choose unusual settings for their productions. Such is the case with BRIEFS, A FESTIVAL OF SHORT LESBIAN AND GAY PLAYS, which was performed at La Perla (February 24-26, 2012), which has probably seen more wedding receptions and private parties than play festivals over the years. However, the issue of space proved to be a non-factor, as a simple stage and just enough chairs allowed the festival to flourish, regularly selling out for every performance. I found it to be an enjoyable and entertaining excursion, myself, and was grateful for the opportunity to see an evening of short plays that centered around the subject of homosexuality, but brought to light different aspects than we're used to seeing.

What! You've never heard of Judith Tuvim, the Jewish girl from Brooklyn with the IQ of 172, who took Broadway and Hollywood by storm in the 1950's. Perhaps that's because you've always known her as the actress, Judy Holliday, whose meteoric rise and fall is the subject of a new play by Bob Sloan.

Since the inception of The Three Tenors on July 7, 1990 in Rome at the Baths of Caracalla on the eve of the FIFA World Cup Final, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and the one and only Luciano Pavarotti; have opened the doors for other great voices, such as the Irish Tenors, The Canadian Tenors and many other talented and renowned performers. Now three of New York's premier voices, Andy Cooney, Daniel Rodriguez and Michael Amante have joined together to honor the city of New York and our great nation as the one and only 'New York Tenors'. Yesterday, August 2, they brought their show to John J. Burns Park in Massapequa, NY. BroadwayWorld was on hand and brings you photo coverage below!
