Theater Review: ‘Othello’ at the Clarion Theater (NYC)
Othello remains one of Shakespeare’s most relevant and popular plays.
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
If you need just one reason to see this show, Josh Young is that reason
Review: ‘Cloven Tongues’ at The Wild Project (NYC)
Cloven Tongues runs at The Wild Project (195 East 3rd Street) through November 23.
Review: ‘Polanski Polanski’ at The Chain Theatre (NYC)
Grant Neale stars as Polanski during three distinct periods of Polanski’s life
Review: ‘The Wedding Singer’ at the Secret Theatre (NYC)
If you’d like to see an animated production of one of the better musicals from last decade, I’d recommend getting your tickets to The Wedding Singer soon.
Review: ‘Hamlet’ / ‘Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead’ at the Sargent Theater (NYC)
Brandon Walker’s forte is emotionally conflicted, mentally troubled characters, and if that doesn’t describe Hamlet’s character I don’t know what does.
Review: ‘Billy Elliott’: ‘He Could Be a Star’
Billy Elliot the Musical, currently playing in San Diego, features two wonderful performances from Rich Hebert and Mitchell Tobin.
Review: ‘The Thirteenth Commandment’ at the Bridge Theatre (NYC)
Without mentioning them all individually I have nothing but praise for each actor in the play because this is very much a group effort — each part is significant.
