What did our critic think of GRICEL - A TANGO STORY AT ESPACE LUMEN at Espace Lumen?

The art of dance is beautiful and special for many reasons. We could spend countless hours waxing poetic; listing them out, line by line. (Oh, let me count the ways). But my favorite reason is because dance exists within a dichotomy.

The Last Five Years meets Gravity to introduce their unfortunate lovechild. Daniel steals a spacecraft and leaves Earth; his ex-girlfriend, Emily, is left behind. A trio of scientists breaks down their complicated relationship while Daniel records his days orbiting the planet. On paper, Theo Jamieson’s new musical is a thrilling original concept. The core idea and its philosophical foundations are utterly compelling, so it’s a real shame that they bear very little weight against a shallow plot and uninteresting characters. Adam Lenson (credited as co-creator too) directs with profound empathy for the human race, trying hard to bring to life our harrowing need to feel connected. The material fails him.

Paramount Theatre is pulling out all the stops for its upcoming production of South Pacific, the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein classic that sweeps audiences from the warm sea breezes of a tropical paradise to the tense backdrop of World War II.

In a dusty East Texas barn, five teenage girls are raising calves for auction — and wrestling with what it means to be good at school, at God, and at girlhood. That's the world of Calf Scramble, the fiercely original new play by Libby Carr now running at 59E59 Theaters through April 12, presented by Primary Stages in association with Jamie deRoy. Directed by Caitlin Sullivan, this darkly funny coming-of-age tale is soaked in sweat, scripture, and competition, where faith tangles with survival and tenderness bucks like a wild animal.

The purity of that moment has lasted decades long and seen her growth into an internationally active musician.

A small, sincere musical that reaches for neither spectacle nor modernity.

What is the definition of crazy? Are you nuts? And perhaps the most unsettling question of all—would you be able to defend yourself in court if your sanity were put on trial? To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how successful I would be at convincing a judge to deem me fit for a regular trial… and that uneasy thought is exactly what lingered with me as I walked into Tom Toper's NUTS at The Weekend Theater, which ran March 6–22 in Little Rock.
