BWW Reviews: Muddy Waters Opens Season of Paula Vogel with THE BALTIMORE WALTZ
by Chris Gibson - March 07, 2011
Muddy Waters Theatre opens their season devoted to playwright Paula Vogel with her OBIE award-winning work, THE BALTIMORE WALTZ, a play best described as a kind of farcical fever dream that satirizes AIDS hysteria. It was apparently written as a sort of literary 'AIDS quilt' that allowed Vogel to deal with the loss of someone close to her. Any play that can somehow corral together a slide show of downtown Baltimore, a shout out to John Waters, and a urine drinking scene is certainly interesting entertainment in my book.

BWW Reviews: New Line Theatre Rocks with Hilarious Production of TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA
by Chris Gibson - March 06, 2011
Though Shakespeare's first play, TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, is ungainly and raw at times, many of the devices and plot mechanisms that will soon become the playwright's stock in trade are present in its text. As such, it remains a crude example of an early work by a master still fine tuning his craft. In Galt MacDermot (music), John Guarre (lyrics) and Mel Shapiro's (who polished and 'corrected' the Bard's book) 1971 musical adaptation it becomes a light-hearted and enjoyable introduction to his work, full of the same pluck and irreverence that distinguished MacDermot's Hair, but fully capable of standing on its own merit too. New Line Theatre and director Scott Miller's current production of Two Gentlemen of Verona not only rocks, but it's hilarious as well, aided greatly by the spectacular efforts of an enthusiastic cast and a crack band. I honestly can't recall when I've ever witnessed an audience laugh at and enjoy Shakespeare more; the resident 'Bad Boy of Musical Theatre' has come through again.

New Jewish Theater Presents SIRENS 2/16-3/6
by BWW News Desk - March 06, 2011
Facebook, Scrabulous, handheld solitaire games, the Greek Isles, Greek myths... what do all of these things have in common? They all figure prominently in New Jewish Theatre's upcoming production of SIRENS by Deborah Zoe Laufer, where a 25th Anniversary trip to the Greek Isles becomes a catalyst for an amusing series of events in this quirky romantic comedy. The biggest hit from last year's Humana Festival of New American Plays, Laufer's play is a quirky empty-nest romantic comedy about a husband and wife and the hit love song he wrote for her more than 25 years ago.

Washington University Welcomes DANU, 3/5
by BWW News Desk - March 05, 2011
In Ireland, the toe-tapping collegiality of an impromptu living room concert can be summed up in single word: craic. And perhaps no band better exemplifies the essence of craic than Danú. Hailed as a 'spirit-raising concoction' by The Irish Times, this five-member ensemble is among the most charismatic and sophisticated traditional Irish groups working today, known for mixing ancient Irish songs with new additions to the repertoire in concerts that are at once authentic, clever and fun.
