A&E Network has greenlit a second season of the poignant documentary series 'Kids Behind Bars: Life or Parole' which tells the stories of convicted juvenile offenders who received mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole. Due to a recent United States Supreme Court ruling that such sentences for minors are unconstitutional, these inmates can now petition the court for a new sentencing hearing. The powerful second season will chronicle eight convicted offenders fighting for a second chance while also giving voice to the families of their victims who must grapple with the possibility that they could soon be released. The series posits the question, can juveniles who committed murder ever truly be rehabilitated? In each episode, viewers will hear testimony from leading psychologists, law enforcement, and legal experts as well as first-person interviews with the inmates themselves and the loved ones of their victims to understand the full scope of the crimes before the judge makes the final verdict. The new season will premiere this Fall.

Il musical THE LAST FIVE YEARS ha debuttato a Chicago nel 2001 e la sua prima in un Teatro Off-Broadway risale al 2002. Più recentemente nel 20013 un acclamato revival sempre Off-Broadway, lo ha riportato in auge tanto da meritare nel 2014 una trasposizione cinematografica con Anna Kendricks e Jeremy Jordan nei ruoli dei due innamorati/sposi/divorziati. Arriva in Italia con la traduzione di Daniele Adriani al Teatro Don Mario Torregrossa. La trama si svolge attorno ai 5 anni di vita di una coppia in un intrigante e inusuale percorso temporale agli opposti. La giovane Cathy, attrice in cerca di affermazione, inizia a raccontare la loro relazione dalla sua fine, mentre Jaime, giovane scrittore in brillante ascesa, la racconta dal loro primo incontro: in scena i due interagiscono in un unico duetto al momento della proposta di matrimonio per poi proseguire la narrazione nelle due direzioni temporali contrapposte. Nel finale scopriamo lui nel momento dell'addio mentre lei nel percorso inverso narra il loro primo incontro. L'autore e compositore Jason Robert Brown (al suo attivo 11 Tony Awards per questo musical ma anche per gli altri sui lavori, Parade del 1999 e The bridges of Madison County del 2014) oltre alla brillante idea di formulare il racconto con questo doppio percorso agli antipodi, incanta lo spettatore con la piacevolezza e complessità di una partitura che non annoia mai neanche nei momenti più cupi del racconto. Il crescendo di lei dal triste al felice, antitetico a quello di lui dal felice al triste è trattato con un equilibrio perfetto in ogni momento della narrazione.

Dear Readers, you may recall that several years ago there was a new musical that came through town, about Princesses (even called that), that many consider, including myself, to be one of the worst things they've ever seen. But as bad as it was, it had three things going for it. First, there was a story built around a Father's love for his daughter. Second, there was a hunky boy-band type, who may have creeped many out with his utterly rapey song a?oeJust Say Yesa??, but he was still pretty. And third, and most importantly, the show featured one truly great song that spotlighted the quirkier and subordinate a?oePrincessesa?? of the bunch. Cut to 2020 and enter the 5th Avenue Theatre's latest new musical venture, a?oeBlissa?? that, while having no real connection to that other one, blissfully and coincidentally contains those three elements and runs with them, while tossing the rest of that dreadful show into the infernos of musical theater hell (along with the likes of a?oeFlashdancea?? and a?oeLove Never Diesa??). And while a?oeBlissa?? may still have some work to do to make it truly shine (which we'll get to in a minute), it's still a delightfully fun romp into the woods with some Princess archetypes who aren't the norm but should be.
