REVIEW: Cameron Kelsall on Ragtime

Ragtime holds a special place in my theatrical consciousness. So why did this revival leave me cold?

You won’t find a better time on Broadway this season than Gina Gionfriddo’s crackling comedy.

Schmigadoon toes the line between sincerity and satire, but never lands firmly in either camp.

Two good reasons to revive Fallen Angels: Rose Byrne, and Kelli O’Hara

Don’t expect any sweeping statements from Franz Welser-Möst ‘s polished, if dramatically inert, Fidelio.

Charm counts for much in this chamber musical, on Broadway after a hit run in London.

The New Group’s adaptation of Elmer L. Rice’s rarely produced classic lacks the sharp focus of the original play.

Golda Schultz and Jonathan Ware present Dark Matter(s), an intriguing program of songs, at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.

In a program ranging from Schubert to Tosti, the beloved tenor charmed the pants off Philadelphia.

Perhaps this patch of rural America is now too well trod.
