Celtic Thunder just made an appearance at New York City's Beacon Theatre. Backed by the amazing Celtic Thunder Band, the singers (Damian McGinty, Ryan Kelly, Michael O'Dwyer, Emmet Cahill & Neil Byrne) deliver new ensemble numbers including 'Sons of Light,' 'Toora, Loora, Lay,' 'The Wild Rover,' 'Right all right,' and 'Castle on the Hill' followed in the second act by nostalgic fun songs like 'Celebration,' 'I'm a Believer,' 'Seasons in the Sun' and 'Rise Again.' No Celtic Thunder show would be complete without an encore of their rousing anthem 'Ireland's Call,' the only song in Celtic Thunder X that isn't a new song but which never fails to bring the audience to its feet.

In a short 2016 profile in American Theatre, Russian emigre director Yury Ornov expounded on the freedoms of theater: 'You can hate people; you can do a hate show about Putin, for example, or about your ex-wife.' It seems that Lola B. Pierson's Putin On Ice (That Isn't the Real Title of This Show) is the hate show about Putin that Urnov, a close associate of Pierson through Baltimore's Acme Corporation, had in mind. (That said, Genevieve de Mahy, the Artistic Director of Single Carrot Theatre, on whose premises that show, a joint production with the Acme Corporation, is now playing, claims in a program note that the idea came from Single Carrot.) In the same profile just mentioned, Ornov emphasized how important and liberating it was to laugh at the things that distress us. Putin On Ice is nothing if not funny, though, as my companion on press night pointed out, there was a risk, throughout most of the show, that the laughs would ultimately obscure the seriousness and the threat of its subject.
