... this is a duo that cannot be pigeon-holed.  It is part rodeo, part carnival, part jamboree.  With a bunch of rockin' music and lines so funny your laughs may become barks.

SUFFS VIDEO!!!
Benanti is just the way we like here: talented and chock-a-block full of surprises that will make youolaugh so hard you will bark.  I didi. And I can't wait for the enxt incarnation.
John Lloyd Young likes to sing, and lucky for us he will be doing that at Café Carlyle through May 18.  If you are looking for a night out walking down memory lane - this is the place …
Who were these smiling people relaxing in deck chairs, sitting at dining tables, gathering on a hillside to exchange pleasantries.  Who were those girls with the commandant and why were t…
Yipes - there is so much packed into this title.  Notice it is not "THE Mother Play."  It is "Mother Play" As such it is a full blown noun.  For me,  however, this story is D…
"This is a thoroughbred bounding out of the gate brandishing a mane of roman candles." - Tulis McCall, The Front Row Center I'm moved to say this was not a comeback, because she wasn't…
This show sentimental,  heartbreaking, hilarious and intimate.  It would be easy to dismiss on the surface as an evening by, about and for older folks.  Au contraire matey.  …
Lia Romeo does not let us sit on our laurels and watch the story we expect.  Oh no.  She leads us down the primrose path and pulls the proverbial rug out from under us. ÂÂ
...what we have here is a collection of people who are disappointed to the point of being annoying. Chekhov has tossed them all together into one pot of luke warm water. In addition,…
First of all the term is "Suffragist" not "Suffragette".  A Suffragist is a person who demands suffrage (the right to vote) for everyone.  Suffragette is a derogatory term created to t…
It is Bebe Neuwirth who delivers the nut of the story at the eleventh hour. Everything else leading up to this moment is spectacle.  A  beautifully executed spectacle.  A puff past…
Parks does not permit us to go gently into that good night.  She will not leave us sitting comfortably in our own upstanding ignorance.  Like Jefferson she stands at the "intersection …

Having seen Marilyn Maye many, many times for over a decade I know in advance there will be at least one point where she will leave me face down sobbing in my soup (should there be any aroun…
This duo is the perfect combination of charm and danger. More than once they scrambled my brain and handed it back to me with a side of fries.
There is a pattern that pops up from time in all of our lives.  An event or a thing or a person is pronounced "swell".  Occasionally we concur with the pronouncement, and occasionally …
I'm not that big a love fan myself.  Onstage it can be clunky.  Passion can be badly choreographed or altogether unbelievable.  It can be too loud or too long or too sophomoric. …
Uggams was a gift when she started out.  That she remains an iconic performer says something about not only her talent, but her determination and drive.  This is a woman who is not int…
There are a few staging surprises that work very well indeed.  We are not merely observers.  We are witnesses. This is "Right vs Might" and it is not news.  The only hopeful note is…
John Patrick Shanley wasn't kidding when he titled this play "Doubt A Parable"  There is more theorizing and speculation thrown around here than a person can grab in one go-round.  As …
The Effect has given us a huge gymnasium into which we are invited to play, engage, risk, contemplate, judge, experiment, and be our wild selves.  All from the comfort of our seats.  T…
"Dead Outlaw", now at Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre is a deceptive cuss of a show. What appears as a simple tale of varmints, thieves and outlaws is anything but.
I don't know what you have planned for this weekend, but if you have not seen this gorgeous Encores! production of "Jelly's Last Jam" at City Center - I suggest you rethink whatever you have…
