November 2019 – reclining standards

REVIEW: Music for Moderns — Yannick Nézet-Séguin & Orchestre Métropolitain (for Parterre Box)

They came, saw, and conquered… and I hope they return soon.

The Berta (mezzo-soprano Emily Damasco) runs away with the show.

Seen here, this dated piece of earnest but intolerant realism seems almost a parody of itself.

After seven decades in show business, the legendary actress and comedienne still knows her way around a joke.

Tina Fey’s satire of high school cliquishness ages uncomfortably into the social media era.

This beguiling little musical is a show that could and can… and I sure as hell hope it does!

The popular Facebook game becomes a platform to share some of my favorite film memories.

Taking a Facebook game to the next level, I’m sharing some quirky but heartfelt choices.

The production is a mixed bag, but it shows the high vocal standard of AVA’s current artists.

Marina Carr’s gorgeous play both honors the great Irish tradition, and boldly breaks new ground.
