Review: FUNNY GIRL at The Kennedy Center
by David Friscic - July 01, 2024
Funny Girl is a solidly entertaining vehicle for a high-profile performance by Katerina McCrimmon as beloved vaudeville performer Fanny Brice. Now playing at the Kennedy Center, this popular musical (from the original stage version starring Barbra Streisand and her Oscar-winning performance in the 1968 hit film –and the recent hit on Broadway starring Lea Michele) is a lively, sassy, and brassy summer musical treat.

Review: MISS NELSON IS MISSING! at Imagination Stage
by Jennifer Muscato - June 24, 2024
Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard is a beloved children’s book that’s been read in homes and schools for decades.

Interview: Give Credit Where Credit is Due When it Comes to The Orchestrator!
by Elliot Lanes - June 21, 2024
Recently I wrote a Broadway World feature dealing with a partial restoration of Robert Ginzler’s original orchestrations for Bye, Bye, Birdie at the Kennedy Center by conductor John Bell with additional work by Joshua Clayton. When the piece was shared on social media, it started a bigger conversation about proper credit for the original orchestrator. Robert Ginzler was somehow never acknowledged in the Kennedy Center program.
