OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, THE PAJAMA GAME, HELLO, DOLLY!, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, BARNUM, THE SECRET GARDEN, THE WHO'S TOMMY, THE PRODUCERS; some of the most iconic shows in Broadway history have opened at 246 W. 44th Street, The St. James Theatre. On September 13th, at 7:00 and 9:30pm at 54 Below, 'The Ensemblist,' the only podcast that shows you Broadway from the inside out, will pull back the curtain of this beloved theatre district landmark.

With the particle accelerator back online, Barry (aka THE FLASH, played by Grant Gustin) speeds towards the end game against Reversel Flash (aka Eobard Thawne, played by Tom Cavanagh).

As the show opens, Jonah is innocently trying to play video games to distract himself from the days events while Daphna harangues him into attentiveness to her complaints about Liam and the world, generally. Liam, who was not at the funeral (much to the aggravation of Daphna), is soon to arrive at the apartment and is bringing, unbeknownst to Jonah and Daphna, his very blonde and very goyische girlfriend, Melody. When they arrive, civility between Liam and Daphna is clearly moot, and Jonah and Melody are forced to play peacekeepers. From there, the situation devolves into one of the most vitriolic confrontation I've ever seen between two characters onstage.

Philadelphia's Inis Nua Theatre Company will present the Philadelphia premiere of Trousers by Paul Meade and David Parnell, running today, February 5-23 at the Off-Broad Street Theater in the First Baptist Church (1636 Sansom Street).

It's the little things that keep you going during tech. Jordan Fife Hunt (Paul) just offered me some gingerbread pita chips. I'll take what I can get (namely, sugar). We're three and a half hours into our first 10 out of 12. Thus far, there have been no stressful outbursts, costume disasters, short fuses, or small animals harmed. I'm gunning for a drama free tech process. We did, however, get off to a soggy and cacophonous start.

First the good news. Alexei Ratmansky's Piano Concerto #1, set to the Shostakovich piece of the same name, is as bracing as ever. Now, the bad news. Ratmansky's The Tempest, set to a Sibelius score, is in a state of choreographic disorder. It sets out to tell a Shakespearean play in 45 minutes, and even with the input of dramaturg Mark Lamos, the ballet can't dance, let alone move.

There was some fantastic variety on show at Edinburgh. There were definite disappointments but also some really impressive and innovative attempts. Although it's always tough to pick just a few shows to mention - here are my awards for Edinburgh 2013:
