by Jan Nargi - Oct 13, 2013
Music soars in Mary Zimmerman stage adaptation of "The Jungle Book" entering its final week at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, but this new theatrical version based on the Kipling and Disney classics is ultimately unfulfilling, needing more depth and heart.
BWW Reviews: Bean Mines 60's Jukebox for 'SUMMER OF LOVE'
by Michael L. Quintos - Apr 9, 2011
When it comes to taking a catalog of familiar, era-specific songs, tossing them together with colorful costumes and sets, then weaving an easily digestible story to tie them all together, jukebox musical aficionado Roger Bean has his formula down pat. The man behind The Marvelous Wonderettes, it's holiday-themed sequel The Winter Wonderettes, The Andrews Brothers, and recent crowd-pleaser Life Could Be A Dream is back at it again, this time with a slew of 60's hippie-rock tunes to shape his new staged hits parade SUMMER OF LOVE, which recently had its world premiere at Musical Theatre West in Long Beach as part of the 2011 Festival of New American Musicals. More endearing than daring, the musical continues performances at the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts in Long Beach through April 17.

BWW Reviews: Geva Theatre Center's PRICE Too Taxing
by Mary Hanrahan - Mar 2, 2010
Given the current economic climate, Rochester's Geva Theatre Center's production of Arthur Miller's The Price, a drama incited by two brothers selling their deceased father's possessions, would appear to be perfectly timed. The heavy ties between identity and the struggle to live a purposeful, content life in capitalistic society are explored in depth, and the questions and uncertainty felt by the characters certainly resonate with a modern audience. Timothy Bond's production of the play starts off strongly but ultimately flounders as it reaches its conclusion.
BWW Interviews: Florence Henderson
by Joseph F. Panarello - Feb 5, 2010
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment when Florence Henderson became a household name. It was certainly through the media of television, but was it her numerous appearances on the then-popular variety shows? Perhaps it was because of the proliferation of commercials she did for Polident and Wesson Oil; the latter in which she helped coin the phrase 'Wessonality'. Obviously her long stint as Mrs. Carol Brady in 'The Brady Bunch' played a major role in her becoming not only a name people easily recognized, but a talent that has genuinely been appreciated by different generations down through the years.
