by Franco Milazzo - Sep 12, 2022


If you thought horror as a genre wasn’t something opera dabbled in, think again. The fourth outing for David McVicar’s 2008 production of Richard Strauss’ is as bloody and gruesome as it gets in Covent Garden.

BWW Review: ANYTHING GOES Starring Sutton Foster Hits the Big Screen
by Jonas Schwartz-Owen - Mar 23, 2022


The buzz on the internet about Sutton Foster playing Marian the Librarian in the latest Music Man revival was polarizing to say the least, but NO ONE can claim that Sutton Foster wasn't born to play Reno Sweeney in the classic Cole Porter musical farce, Anything Goes. Foster won a Tony playing the role on Broadway in 2011, and in 2021, returned to the role at the Barbican Theatre in London, belting out standards like the title number, 'I Get A Kick Out Of You', and the famous list song, 'You're The Top'. Trafalgar Entertainment and Stage2view filmed the cast during the London run and will now air the presentation in American movie theaters for two nights.
