Before we give in to those who doubt us, and believe our paths will lead to many heartbreaks, I hope that we can all disregard these negative premonitions and realize our collective ability to help and recreate this industry so it will continue on, in the immediate future and far beyond.

I’d say that “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is not a maxim that has ever been used for Puccini’s Chinese-inspired fairytale, TURANDOT, which returned for another go-around at the Met the other day with two alternating casts.

It is clear that this entire cast worked hard preparing for their roles and are having fun delivering them. The positive energy they bring radiates throughout the venue!

The Lion King swept the Tony awards when it was on Broadway, and even for this semi-skeptical theatre reviewer, it’s easy to see why.  It seems impossible to translate a cartoon about the lives of animals into a stage production performed by people, or at least, it seems like it will be corny.  This production, however, is completely unlike any other theatrical experience.  It hews faithfully enough to the story to satisfy the super fans, but adds so many new elements that it’s astonishing and delightful to watch.
