Broadway San Diego is exactly what Broadway San Diego has brought to town with Idina Menzel and ‘If/Then’
Theater Review: ‘Gidion’s Knot’ at the Clarion Theater (NYC)
Perhaps the goal of Gidion’s Knott can be summed up, as Corryn says during the play, “to search for something authentic in a field of bullshit.”
SDMT brings a “White Christmas” to San Diego
There are some things that are the signal that the holidays have come around, depending on when you want to start celebrating. For some that means fall with the return of Pumpkin Spice Latte, for others, it’s prepping the turkey, but for those that love the winter holidays it’s the
Theater Review: ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ at The Belasco Theatre, Broadway
Hedwig and the Angry Inch, June 9th. The intimate setting of Broadway’s Belasco theatre plays host to Hedwig and the Angry Inch; a transgender singer from East Berlin and her back-up band. Created by Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell, Hedwig tells the funny, yet often cruel and deeply emotional
San Diego Theatre Review: North Coast Rep’s ‘Unnecessary Farce’
Unnecessary Farce, North Coast Repertory Theatre’s latest offering, definitely lives up to the ‘Farce’ part of its title. It’s one big absurd situation after another and you’re pretty much guaranteed to laugh your socks, or kilt, off. The show, written by New York based actor Paul Slade Smith and directed
Broadway Review: ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ at the Nederlander Theatre
Honeymoon in Vegas is the virtual definition of a crowd-pleaser, and it definitely deserves a lot more attention from the tourist crowds who typically gravitate to the old standbys.
Theater Review: ‘Othello’ at the Clarion Theater (NYC)
Several years ago I predicted that the Seeing Place Theater would outgrow its home in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, and the group’s sixth season has proven me right. Of course, I’m not going to quit my day job and become a fortuneteller – anybody who has ever seen any of the
Review: MOXIE Theatre’s ‘Trouble in Mind’
One common thread that has run through every show I’ve seen at Moxie Theatre is their excellent casting. With their latest play, Alice Childress’ Trouble in Mind, that through line continues with a pair of powerhouse performances by Monique Gaffney and Ruff Yeager.
Broadway Review: MTC’s ‘Constellations’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson
The play comes in at a brisk 70-minutes (no intermission) but honestly it only feels about thirty. It’s so fast yet so moving and funny that you’ll be walking away wishing you could see it again.
Theater Review: ‘Enron’ at Moxie Theatre in San Diego
Lucy Prebble’s Enron, a satiric dramatization of the rise and fall of the now infamous Texas-based energy company, closed way too early when it ran on Broadway. I can see why. I’d think most people in the city for a night out want to escape reality and not want to
Broadway Review: ‘Disgraced’ at the Lyceum Theatre
If you put an ex-Muslim lawyer, an African-American lawyer, a Jewish art curator, and a WASP artist who primary works with Islamic themes in her art together at a dinner party, mix with a few cocktails and professional stress, and then bring up religion and politics, well, you can guess
Broadway Review: ‘Holler If You Hear Me’
Holler If You Hear Me, the new Broadway musical based on the music of Tupac Shakur, has moments like the rapper himself: raw and electric. And when those moments happen, it’s truly exciting. But unfortunately, there aren’t enough of those moments here. Written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Kenny
Theatre Review: ‘The Book of Mormon’ at the San Diego Civic Center
There are three types of people: those who’ve never seen The Book of Mormon but really want to; those who’ve seen it; and those who’ve seen it and want to see it again. Actually, there are four: those who never want to see it because it might be too offensive.
Theatre Review: ‘Mud Blue Sky’ at San Diego’s Moxie Theatre
Ninety percent of Mud Blue Sky, which opened last week at San Diego’s MOXIE Theatre, is set in a small, almost cramped hotel room near Chicago’s O’Hare airport. But out of that tiny space comes some really terrific performances. The play, which is having its West Coast premiere, was written
Review: ‘Dying City’ / ‘Two Rooms’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
In recent years The Seeing Place has been pairing plays by different playwrights with thematic similarities together in repertory. Through hard work and persistence they have been granted the rights to a number of acclaimed plays, and the current productions maintain that high quality of material – Christopher Shinn’s Dying
Review: San Diego’s Moxie Theatre Delivers with the Terrific ‘Crumbs from the Table of Joy’
Moxie Theatre may be small in size, but it certainly does pack a punch. A terrific, wonderful punch.
Theatre Review: The ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ Has A Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On
Elvis, Cash, Perkins and Jerry Lee make for a fun, energetic show!
Paint It, Black: ‘Macbeth’ at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (NYC)
It’s the production design of this Macbeth, which is somehow both opulent and plain, but altogether unique, that sets this version of ‘Macbeth’ apart.
Review: ‘Men In White’ at the Sargent Theatre (NYC)
The Seeing Place made an excellent choice in reviving Sidney Kingsley’s hospital drama ‘Men In White’
Review: The National Tour of ‘Evita’ Starring Josh Young, Caroline Bowman and Sean MacLaughlin
