BWW Special Feature: In Conversation with EXTINCTION's James Roday & Michael Weston
by Jessica Lewis - Feb 23, 2010


It has been said that there is approximately only a 1 in 100th of a chance that a person will land a job working in theater in New York. The chances of working successfully in the industry are smaller than that. Sometimes, though, you meet people like EXTINCTION's James Roday (of the hit television series 'Psych') and Michael Weston ('House') who make you forget that the odds of doing so are not stacked so high - who make you truly believe that if one can simply 'find good material, do what you know and grow it into something bigger' (to quote Roday) that enriched careers in entertainment are truly achievable.

BWW Interviews: Triple Tony Nominee KELLI O'HARA on O.C. Cabaret Debut, 1/21-1/24
by Michael L. Quintos - Jan 21, 2010


In just the span of a few short years, Kelli O'Hara has become one of Broadway's most beloved women of musical theater. With three Tony® Award nominations in a row under her belt (The Light in the Piazza, The Pajama Game and, most recently, the critically-acclaimed revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific), the revered stage star is now getting ready to debut an updated version of her much-lauded cabaret act from New York's Café Carlyle at the Orange County Performing Arts Center's Samueli Theater on January 21. The intimate series of concerts will feature not only some familiar Broadway hits but also a few songs close to the singer-actor's heart, some of which can be found on her debut album Wonder of the World. She will also sprinkle the show with a few stories and anecdotes from her life: from her early childhood in Oklahoma to her debut on the Great White Way. O'Hara recently sat down for a quick chat with BroadwayWorld to discuss her early influences, her distinguished Broadway roles, and even some of her guilty pleasures.

REVIEW: 'The Great American Trailer Park Musical' at Street Theatre Company
by Jeffrey Ellis - Nov 15, 2009


Created by Jean Doumanian, Jeffrey Richards and Rick Steiner ('in association with Janet Pailet,' according to the program), The Great American Trailer Park Musical is about all the rednecks, hicks and white trash you've ever met - well, if you know anybody from the aforementioned groups - and the whole set-up is beyond hilarious and so inspired by the tasteless that you simply cannot go and not enjoy yourself. Unless, of course, you hope to hear every word and see every bit of onstage business.
