Gotham Radio Theatre Presents “Blithe Spirit”
I was recently in England, engaged in a conversation about the difference between British humour and American humor (note the spelling variations!), and this was what it boiled down to: Americans don’t do irony nearly as well as our English counterparts. Upon getting back in the states, I had the good fortune of being able [...]
Musicals Tonight! Presents Li’l Abner At The Lion Theatre
Dogpatch, USA and its joy-juiced residents are alive again, a kickin’ and a hollerin’ at The Lion Theater in midtown. A director and choreographer have never made better use of a large cast on a tiny stage in this costumed semi-concert version of “Li’l Abner”, a rarely revived 1956 hit Broadway musical based on the [...]
Gotham Radio Theatre Presents Redheads And Bohemians
I remember childhood summers spent at my grandparents house…lounging in the kitchen on warm afternoons, sipping Yoo-Hoo’s, eating Twinkies, and listening to the ever-so-loud classic radio shows blasting through the AM channels. Granted, I’m a child of the 1980′s, not the 1940′s, so this may seem a bit antiquated. At the time I was probably [...]
UnsungMusicals Presents Make Mine Manhattan
Should you desire the warm promise, spontaneous smile, and all around joie de vive that a premature spring day inevitably brings forth, then travel down by March 17th to an intimate theater between Avenues A and B for a musical bubble titled “Make Mine Manhattan”. It is presented by UnsungMusicals, a non-profit company that presents somewhat [...]
New York City Center Presents Merrily We Roll Along
The past is always present. It forms us, makes us who we are now, for better or worse. We are indeed the sum of many past parts. The older you get, the more you tend to look back and question your choices. The mistakes are all too evident, the regrets add up quickly. But somehow [...]
I Sure Do Wish I Could Purchase A Bottle Of Victoria Clark
I sure do wish I could purchase a bottle of Victoria Clark’s energy. If her enthusiasm and excitement were also available for purchase, I would clean out the shelves. We are all familiar with her talents—ranging from her Tony Award winning “Senora Johnson” (the American Mother in 2005’s “Light in the Piazza”) to her 2011 [...]
Gracye Productions Presents “The Asphalt Christmas”
When you think of any theatrical production that has the word “Christmas” in the title, usually images of Tiny Tim, baby Jesus, or jolly ol’ St. Nick come to mind. Wholesome, pure characters that evoke the reason for the season, albeit a bit stereotypically. For those of you who have had your dose of wholesome [...]
Gotham Radio Theatre Presents “Rudolph’s Tale: A 1964 Christmas”
How I love a New York City Christmas. Not just for its twinkle lights, egg nog, or general sense of merriment that overcomes all the locals. What I most appreciate is the sense of nostalgia that takes over the city. It may be the one time of year where tradition runs deeper than trend, smiles [...]
The Manhattan Theater Club Presents “Venus In Fur”
En route to a recent Saturday matinee performance of “Venus in Fur”, a two character drama currently on stage at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre as presented by the Manhattan Theater Club until December 18th, 2011, I caught a particularly pesky ear worm. Anyone out there recall that cutsey, innocent doo-wop fifties song titled “Venus [...]
