BWW Feature: BROADWAY VS. HOLLYWOOD
STORIE DEL MUSICAL DALLA SCENA ALLO SCHERMO Parte 1.
by ETTORE FARRATTINI
- Mar 17, 2020
Sin dall'avvento del cinema sonoro i grandi produttori hollywoodiani si sono sempre ispirati alle scene di Broadway per produrre film musicali tratti dalle storie che hanno attirato milioni di spettatori nei mitici teatri della Great White Way. Non a caso The Jazz Singer viene unanimemente considerato il primo film sonoro della storia del cinema e il padre di tutti i musical.
BWW Review: THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER at Lonny Chapman Theatre
by Cary Ginell
- Dec 31, 2019
A riotous script and a veteran cast who know their way around comedy highlight a bravura production of 'The Man Who Came To Dinner,' Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's classic 1939 play about a sidelined theater critic, forced to be wheelchair bound in a house in small town Ohio. Jim Beaver, Barry Pearl, and Kay Cole starr in this outrageously funny revival.
BWW Review: THE PURISTS at Huntington Theatre Company In Boston
by Jan Nargi
- Sep 19, 2019
There's more gray than black and white in the scintillating new play THE PURISTS written by Dan McCabe and directed by Billy Porter. Receiving its rollicking world premiere at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, this rap versus Broadway battle for musical purity between an ex-rapper, a hip-hop DJ and a showtunes aficionado finds common ground among this disparate group of stoop dwellers and thus throws staunchly held beliefs about music, self, and others into serious question.

PRIVATE LIVES at Main Street Theater this Summer
by Rebecca Russo
- Jun 25, 2019
Main Street Theater (MST) offers the perfect sparkling summer refreshment in the form of the wit and wisdom of Noel Coward's Private Lives. "It is by far my favorite of his plays," shares Coward specialist and the production's director Claire Hart-Palumbo. "In many ways Private Lives is an extraordinary play. The Twentieth Century equivalent of the Well-Made Play, it is elegance personified. The language is intelligent and delightfully witty. It's about the generation that was ravaged by World War I. He chose to write in a more familiar and recognizable style, with humor, wit, vivacity, and charm, but his characters express the same doubts and questioning with an elegance that is inevitably entertaining and astonishingly memorable." Along with Hart-Palumbo's insights, MST Executive Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden, who has a delicious cameo role in the show, offers, "It's just so brilliantly funny. I think we could all use a good laugh right now."
