On Saturday, October 3rd, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal performance of one of my absolute favorite musicals of all-time, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, performed by Fairfield Center Stage at City Wide Church in Bridgeport, CT.  Director Joel Fenster, Choreographer Lindsay Johnson, and Music Director Clay Zambo combine their talents to help bring out the best in this first-rate ensemble cast! With book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, this show continues to entertain audiences for over half a century! This musical is packed with a multitude of first-rate songs, no cheap fillers!

What did our critic think of CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM: THE MUSICAL at Imagination Stage?

Before & JULIET even officially began, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre already felt like it was getting ready for a pop concert. A glowing pink sign sat at the centre of the stage while instrumental versions of songs that would soon make their way into the show played in the background. For one of Broadway Across Canada’s most anticipated stops in Vancouver this season, the packed theatre seemed more than ready for what was coming. Then again, it’s hard not to feel at home when you already know most of the soundtrack.

There really isn't a better word for the experience than amazing. From the costumes and puppetry to the lighting, scenery, music, and sheer number of moving parts, THE LION KING is an extraordinary piece of theatrical craftsmanship.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Actors Ensemble of Berkeley fills the Live Oak Theater with cheeky humor. As the characters treat serious matters like frippery, and trivial items with seriousness, the tone is set early for a romping good time.

What did our critic think of THE MAGPIE’S CALL at Dolphin Theatre?

It starts in the claustrophobic, liminal space of a ferry terminal, and both parties don’t really want to be there. Jimmy is a struggling actor on the cusp of a big break auditioning for Mel Gibson’s new film (which may or may not be IRA propaganda); Eddie is a footballer playing for Celtic in Glasgow, despite being a Protestant and sporting a Rangers tattoo. Both are returning to Belfast from Scotland, and have thorny relationships with Protestantism and the Unionist cause back home.

Three months of warm meals, a nice bed, and free laundry lulled you back into your responsibility-less bliss, but all of a sudden you're back in school and everything is piling up faster than you remember it ever being.

What did our critic think of GISELLE at TPAC'S James K Polk Theater?

How appropriate is it that the musical version of “Beetlejuice” should materialize at Starlight Theatre on the cusp of the Halloween and just before of the Mexican “Day of the Dead?”   Our Starlight audience loved it!    Beetlejuice is a show that screams for “Dad” jokes or other bad puns. Since I’m someone who strives never to disappoint, this “Beetlejuice” cast was absolutely “Spooktacular.”  One of the opening gags had one of the characters pulling out a “femur” (upper leg bone) to illustrate a “boner” joke. I found it humerus (the funny bone) in the extreme! OK, you get the drift of the kind of jokes we are looking at?  “Beetlejuice” does find a beating heart beneath all its graveyard humor. Death is an unlikely subject for a feel-good musical, but this show pulls it off.

While Beautiful might not be a perfect production, it has a lot to offer.  Anyone who is a fan of the singer-songwriter era of the early 1970’s will be especially appreciative of its score.  It features tunes that have stood the test of time.  Even fifty years later, it is easy to understand why this show is appropriately titled, Beautiful.   

The Vampire of Lafayette finds plenty of room for invention between the facts of local history.

On Friday, October 2nd, I had the pleasure of my first experience at Crystal Theatre in Norwalk, CT, seeing a phenomenal original musical called FRECKLE! This musical comedy takes some unique and unconventional stylistic choices, all of which work perfectly! With book, music, and lyrics written by Michael Burgess, this show is based on a true story about Michael Burgess and stars Michael Burgess as Michael Burgess. Michael Burgess is also the musical director, costume designer, and stage designer. The striking choreography is by Katrina Perkins and Jennifer Ellyson. The impressive set with various moving parts is constructed by Dom Lettera. The stellar cast all radiate positive energy, showing that they are having a lot of fun up on stage, as the audience enjoys watching them perform!

The excitement about a new semester is falling back to its normal level. Classes are full speed and stress is high. A successful semester is not about doing everything perfectly, it's about learning what keys work best to unlock your full potential.
