August 11, 2016 · 12:16 am. Review: Norbert Leo Butz. Norbert Leo Butz is a very smart and intensely gifted actor, who could probably do an astonishing turn in Hamlet. While Butz is best known as the consummate Broadway musical character actor-singer, this act skews more heavily into rock and singer/songwriter territory. That said, these days that world overlaps with Broadway more and more; his opening number is Yoshimi from the album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Perfect an earworm, to the point of h...

July 1, 2016 · 4:16 pm. Review: New York Spectacular. If you love New York, there are a handful of lump-in-your-throat moments in the Rockettes’ New York Spectacular. Sure, they are rather baldly emotionally manipulative, but I for one didn’t care I got the feeling that all of the creators of this extravaganza were sincere in their own love of the Big Apple, and that makes a big difference. Of course the Rockettes have been famous for over 80 years for their Christmas Spectacular. Weaves a story of.

June 19, 2016 · 6:46 pm. Is billed as a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood, it actually harks back to something much older, that great predecessor to musical comedy the extravaganza. A hundred years ago and more, these variety shows veiled with the thinnest of plots were thick on the ground, with titles like A Yankee Circus on Mars. One of the biggest hits of this kind was a version of The Wizard of Oz. That had as much to do with Frank Baum’s books as well, as Paramour. Has to do with Orson Welles.

March 13, 2016 · 9:22 pm. Of Donizetti’s comedies, I think I like Don Pasquale. The best. I mean, it’s still a little too light for me, it doesn’t glitter like Rossini’s La Cenerentola. Or have the rich complexity of Verdi’s Falstaff. But it does dig ever so slightly deeper than the main line of 19th Century Italian opera buffa. And reaps the benefits both dramatically and musically. Find as heroine Norina. Her sparkling high notes are a joy, but she also acted and sang with an alluring ease. Mettle by p...

Tag Archives: political satire. July 23, 2015 · 10:02 pm. Review: The New York Story. Colin Quinn is one of the better comics doing political satire he communicates highly complicated ideas through the most mundane and absurdly funny examples. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his previous shows Long Story Short. Which brought enormous issues wittily down to a comprehensible human scale. So I got excited when I heard about this new show about the the history of New York. Quinn’s manner is engagingly off-hand...

August 1, 2016 · 11:52 pm. That’s the question posed by innovative drag performance artist BenDeLaCreme in her latest show, Inferno-A-Go-Go. BenDeLaCreme’s shows are truly unique, not just in drag performance, but in theatre as a whole. Sure, she includes the goofy song parodies and wisecracking comedy so common in drag. However, she’s after something far more sophisticated her seductive strangeness creeps up on you. For tickets, click here. Tagged as cabaret show. July 1, 2016 · 5:01 pm. 5 Performances,...
