What did our critic think of THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS at Theo Ubique Cabaret?
What did our critic think of TOOTSIE at Rochester Broadway Theatre League? The Rochester Broadway Theatre League begins its 2022-2023 M&T Bank Broadway season with something fun and splashy, a perfect date night musical based on one of the 1980s' most beloved pop culture gems. 'Tootsie', the Robert Horn and David Yazbek musical adaption of the 1982 Dustin Hoffman film of the same name, is a light and springy show about showbiz, which also attempts to grapple with the difficulties of being a woman in a man's world. Rochester is the first stop on Tootsie's national tour.
It all began with a WEA art appreciation course.
Country music legend T.G. Sheppard is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1982 album “Finally.” The title track became Sheppard’s tenth number one song, among 21 other number one hits he attained on the country chart, and proceeded to remain at the number one spot for a total of ten weeks. Other hits include “Only One You,” and fan favorites “Crazy In The Dark,” “In Another Minute,” and more.
The first lyrics Amayo wrote & sung from the GRAMMY nominated “Fu Chronicles” Antibalas album for the song “Fist of Flowers” (Best Global Music Album of the Year 2020) begin with 'the end is a new beginning.'

La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts Producing Artistic Director BT McNicholl will welcome you home to a very special return season of truly exhilarating events at the newly renovated theatre!

What do you get when you combine the pianistic finesse of Michael Feinstein, the smooth phrasing of Tony Bennett, and the bawdy wit of Bette Midler? You get Michael McAssey, who for 40 years has reigned as the clown prince of New York cabaret, and has enchanted as one of its most talented troubadours. He calls what he does 'schtick.' But that's undervaluing his unique blend of beautiful ballad singing and standup, or rather 'sit down' comedy.

College can be extremely stressful sometimes, especially after midterms, which I just experienced last week. However, there are many ways to destress and unwind due to the pressure and trials of school and watching musical films are a perfect way to do just that and what better time of the year to do that than around Halloween time? There are so many amazing Halloween and horror films and surprisingly there are also a lot of horror musicals that are simply fantastic.
