What did our critic think of CANDIDE at Palais Theatre?

The writer of the Off-Broadway hit 'Puffs' brings you 'Witches!? In Salem?!' A darkly comedic take on the Salem Witch Trials, this play explores the consequences of religious fanaticism. Don't miss this hilarious and timely production at HERE Arts Center from March 16th to March 30th.

Leonard Bernstein's masterpiece, Candide, is back in Vienna for a strictly limited run. Based on Voltaire's 18th-century novel, Bernstein created a so-called comic operetta, or as some might say, a musical in an old-fashioned way. You may call it whatever you want. At the end of the evening, it is a beautifully crafted piece of art.
