Behind the Scenes and Screens of a Broadway Conductor
by Emma Forgione - Apr 13, 2026
A key staple of going to a Broadway show is acknowledging the tuxedo-clad figure at the helm of the stage, waving fervently to signal a crescendo, a ritardando, or a rest. The presence of the conductor reminds us that the instruments we hear in musicals are, well, live, and not pre-recorded karaoke tracks.

by Benoit Teves - Apr 11, 2026
Orlando Shakes’ 'Bare Bard' production of Henry VI Part III is a high-stakes, dangerous, and riveting 'palette cleanser' for the theatre purist. Its scrappy, sophisticated storytelling proves all you need is a script and some 'Bare Bard' brilliance.
