Review: THE SCORE at Sidney Harman Hall
I was eager to see The Shakespeare Theatre's presentation of The Score for the same reason, I'm sure, as most people who will see it: the opportunity to see Brian Cox as Johann Sebastian Bach.…
Review: MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM at Round House Theatre

Review: SOMETHING WONDERFUL: BROADWAY'S LEADING LADIES at Signature Theatre
Cabarets are always a bit of a crap shoot depending on the performer’s theme and choice of material. Signature Theatre’s current cabaret offering is a prime example of what happens when the performer and the material are in perfect sync. Take the immeasurable talents of Tracy Lynn Olivera, add a…

Review: A BEAUTIFUL BLUE MORNING SKY at The Keegan Theatre
Besides the massive geopolitics of it all, the terror attacks also jolted individual emotions , almost to a person. We dealt as a nation with loss, felt empathy, a degree of hopelessness and a welling of national pride and determination as a way to endure and persevere.…

Review: GARBO: THE ACTOR WHO SAVED THE WORLD at GALA Hispanic Theatre
The world premiere production kicking off the 51st season at GALA Hispanic Theatre, “GARBO: The Actor Who Saved the World,” is not, it turns out, about Greta at all. Rather, it’s about somebody else far fewer people have heard of, who was working roughly the same time — World War II to be sp…
Review: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG at Signature Theatre
Merrily We Roll Along tackles these behemoth existentialisms at a granular level in the lives of three old friends. It’s one of those shows that leaves you with something to ponder for days after the lights come up. In Signature Theatre’s hands, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s masterpiece …
