A Christmas Story
The intimate little stories work less well in this big musical theater adaptation.
Rothchild and Sons
I applaud the determination of the the surviving co-creators to put the material in the best possible shape.
Fiddler on the Roof
Michael Caizzi commanded the stage from beginning to end with an authority that is rare to find among college player.
The Bandstand
I give lots of credit to Paper Mill Playhouse, which has courageously launched its new season with a wholly original musical.
Show Boat
Show Boat is, quite simply, the best production that the Westchester Broadway dinner theater has mounted in years.
The Irving Berlin Ragtime Revue
Stuffed with lively songs—more than 40—wow!—Chip Deffaa’s The Irving Berlin Ragtime Revue revved up for a run that ends too soon (a matinee on Sunday, November 23), but rarely runs out of smiles and spirit.
Theatre Boys, 13th Street Repertory
“Memorable!”: Some show-going experiences stick with us for years, despite the lack of a cast album or revivals to refresh the memory.
