Karen Leclaire was excellent in her portrayal of the evil witch who has taken over Narnia. Her cold and callous character is quite the foil to the calm and paternal Aslan, played by Lucas Wise.

This fall, Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot is once again drawing audiences to Broadway, with its enigmatic blend of humor, hopelessness, and haunting stillness.
