Review - Bury The Dead: Risky and Brilliant
by Kristin Salaky
- Nov 11, 2008
Yes, I know… Bury The Dead is not exactly the kind of title that's going to send box office sales into a tizzy. And sure, the Connelly Theatre, located on 4th Street between Avenues A & B, may be a perfectly lovely and intimate venue but it's a bit of an unpleasant hike from the nearest subway stop on a damp and chilly evening. But the seven-year-old Drama Desk and OBIE winning Transport Group has been regularly making the pilgrimage well worthwhile for playgoers seeking adventurous new material, inventive revivals and crackerjack acting. Their new spin on Irwin Shaw's 1936 anti-war drama is worth braving a hurricane from the Astor Place 6 line stop to get to. Hyperbole? Yes. So let me put it in more realistic terms. It would require one spectacular theatre season for this stirring and captivating re-imagination of Shaw's fascinating absurdist piece to not be considered one of its highlights. And if Donna Lynne Chaplin's performance is not considered one of the finest of the season it will mean we've been blessed with a year of staggering excellence in stage acting.

Donna Lynne Champlin's $1,000 Album
by Jessica Lewis
- Oct 9, 2009
Talk about turning the impossible into the imaginable (and a great PR stint). For most theatrical stars, recording a first solo album is a major milestone. But, for Donna Lynne Champlin (Sweeny Todd, Hollywood Arms, By Jeeves, and James Joyce's The Dead), her big moment was cast beneath the storm cloud of a $1000 budget (a mandate due to financial constraints).

BROADWAY WINNERS At Town Hall
by Jena Tesse Fox
- Jul 19, 2009
On Monday, Broadway's best singers gathered on the Town Hall stage to perform some of the funniest, most dramatic, most rousing and most poignant showstoppers from musicals. Ably directed by Scott Thompdon and musically guided by musical director Fred Barton (who must surely have an aging portrait locked in at attic somewhere, and who performed mere days after sustaining injuries in a car accident), the evening represented songs ranging from jazz standards by Eubie Blake to this year's Tony winner for best score, Next to Normal.
