Criticism

In Lincoln Center’s Uncle Vanya, the Mountain Comes to Mohammed (for Parterre Box)

Director Lila Neeugebauer’s production refashions Chekhov’s play as a Steve Carell movie.

This tale of the trials and tribulations of making great music is brilliantly in tune.

There is lots to hear and see in this Tommy, but little to feel.

Jason Robert Brown’s new musical falls for its own con man.

A rewarding effort for audiences and, one presumes, for AVA’s talented artists.

It seemed like such a great idea on paper.

Ah, that Bernstein dichotomy.

What began as a planned sendoff to one man ended up as a testament to the valiant effort of another to realize it.

My short video tribute to Parterre Box on its 30th birthday… and James Jorden.

A cast of 1st and 2nd Year AVA artists showed considerable promise, and sometimes more than that.
