Guest Blog: Adam Norrad Discusses LOT's Production of CABARET
by Toronto Newsdesk - Feb 4, 2014


Stepping in to this show is a big deal for me. How do you take a role that has been immortalized by amazing talents such as Joel Grey, Alan Cumming, and Adam Pascale? No matter how good of a job I do, there are comparisons that are going to been drawn. How do you make a role your own when it has already belonged to so many talented men?

BWW Interviews: AVENUE Q Set to Open at Shepherd University
by Johnna Leary - Feb 4, 2014


Some of the life lessons Sesame Street never quite taught us are "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Making Love)".

Lucy T. Slut & Puppeteer Tell All at Long Beach Playhouse Studio Theater
by Joseph OHern - Oct 14, 2013


The popular, funny and slightly edgy musical, Avenue Q continues to run in the Long Beach Playhouse Studio Theater through November 16, 2013? By now most people know the play is a coming of age story told by puppets eerily reminiscent of Sesame Street. But these puppets live a few metaphorical blocks away on Avenue Q. Unlike a puppet show in which the human puppeteers are not part of the action, in Avenue Q, the audience gets the equivalent of a two-for-the-price-of-one experience as both the puppet and the puppeteer are part of the cast.
