REVIEW: Tales of the Unexpected: Suor Angelica and Le Villi at Academy of Vocal Arts (for Parterre Box)

A mixed bag of a production, but some singing of significant promise.

This frantic, antic production doesn’t illuminate Anne Washburn’s poignant satire.

Yet Kenneth Lonergan’s often powerful play seems oblivious to its own sense of privilege.

Both play and production are honorable but flawed, though signs are positive for the Philadelphia Theatre Company.

Curio’s homerun production breathes new life into a turgid melodrama.

Dominique Morisseau’s meaty, thought-provoking play gets a terrific production at McCarter.

This tale of terminally unpopular British teenagers feels like a 22-minute sitcom stretched to two hours.

Inis Nua’s Scottish import teeters between grim uncertainty and twinkly charm.

There’s little here about love, but the show suggests that obsession lasts forever.

Two final events at O18 sum up the wonders of this extraordinary festival.
