BWW Recap: SCANDAL, Call Me Clarence

Hard to find words after 60 minutes like that. Quite literally ripped from today's headlines, Shonda Rhimes dives head first into one of today's most controversial topics with no holds barred. Regardless of politics, that was one of the best episodes of SCANDAL ever.

BWW Recap: SCANDAL Will See You In Another Life, Brother

Last week I was super afraid that this episode would be predictable and I was am so very, very happy I was wrong. Why would I ever doubt Shonda Rhimes? She sure knows what she's doing because I sure didn't see that coming!

BWW Recap: Fitz Went Down to the International Terrorist County Auction on SCANDAL

I was gone on vacation last week, I didn't miss anything, did I? Except Fitz revealing the truth to Mellie and Cyrus, Huck torturing Liz for the truth, Jake and David Rosen figuring out where Liv was just after she made a deal with her captor, Ian? Is that all? Sheesh. I'm never going away again!

BWW Reviews: With Her Intimate, Yet Uneven New Show at the Met Room, One Wonders If Rising Star Marissa Mulder Is Really Trusting Her 'Instincts'

Marissa Mulder, who has been collecting rave reviews and awards in bunches over the past couple of years, debuted her new solo show, Instincts (with musical director Nate Buccieri), to a packed Metropolitan Room on Friday night January 30. It was the first effort in her new 'Residency' at the Chelsea club, not a surprising status given her steady climb up the cabaret singer hierarchy. Mulder offered an eclectic program of songs by artists from Cy Coleman to Radiohead, representing 'a snapshot of where [her] life is right now, a week away from 30.' Her distinctive vocal sound-sincere yet playful and sounding like a combination of a bell and a trumpet-is uniquely expressive, perhaps from 'living instinctively for quite a while now,' as she said in one her of her rare moments of interstitial patter.

Mark Jacoby, Brit Whittle and More to Star in Milwaukee Rep's World Premiere of FIVE PRESIDENTS This Spring

Milwaukee Repertory Theater announced final casting for the upcoming World Premiere production of Five Presidents. Broadway and television veterans Mark Jacoby, Martin L'Herault, Steve Sheridan, Jeff Steitzer, and Brit Whittle, along with Rep Associate Artist Reese Madigan, make up the cast of Five Presidents from Emmy Award-winning writer Rick Cleveland (The West Wing, House of Cards, Mad Men, and Six Feet Under).

BWW Recap: I've Got a Golden Ticket in SCANDAL'S Tense Return

WHOA! If you were thinking we were going to ease slowly into the second part of this season, you were gravely mistaken. Shonda wasted absolutely NO time dealing with the kidnapping of Olivia Pope and finished out this grueling hour with shocking results. Make no mistake, SCANDAL has returned and it isn't white pants suits and red wine; it's horrifying.

BWW Discussion: Another Look at the SCANDAL Mid-Season FINALE

After a (literally) scandalous mid-season finale on November 20, two of our recappers thought it deserved a second look. Jennifer McHugh and Gabrielle 'Gigi' Gervais, logged on to GChat and cyberly rewatched the SCANDAL mid-season finale together. Jumping right in from the beginning with Fitz and Jake arguing about Rowan's whereabouts in front of a near catatonic Olivia, our recappers relive every single tense moment of the episode that will keep us starving for more until January.

BWW Review: BAD JEWS Makes Great Theatre: Bitingly Funny Play Now at GableStage

What makes a good person or a bad person? Or more specifically for theatrical purposes, what makes a good Jew or a bad Jew? That's the question at the heart of the enticingly titled BAD JEWS by Joshua Harmon, a bitingly funny play now making its southeastern premiere at GableStage in Coral Gables.

BWW Recap: WACO Me Up, Before You Go Go on SCANDAL

There isn't an acting award big enough for Joe Morton. He is giving a clinic in this show. Olivia doesn't have much when it comes to parental units in the way of parenting, but man, they sure can act!

Oratorio Society of New York to Present Handel's MESSIAH, 12/22

'Annual performances of Handel's Messiah have been a New York tradition from the time New York culture began to assert itself,' says Oratorio Society of New York Music Director Kent Tritle. English choral societies, inspired by grand performances of Messiah at Westminster Abbey at the turn of the 19th century, would perform the work periodically, but the Oratorio Society of New York made it an annual tradition in New York City - in 1874, the year after the Society was founded.

BWW Recap: The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled on SCANDAL

If that's the penultimate episode of the mid-season, I think we're in some real trouble next week. Talk about action packed, every single storyline is headed for disaster and with only one episode to go in 2014, not even a second was wasted.

BWW Recap: SCANDAL; You Dropped a Tom on Me

One thing you can never accuse SCANDAL of is having a boring episode. There seriously is not a second you can look away from the screen without missing something. I reached down to get a drink of water and nearly missed Mellie overhearing Fitz's phone call with Olivia. I just need to learn to not eat, drink or breathe during these 45 minutes on Thursday nights.
