Arena Stage The Music Man

By • May 26th, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Washington DC

A sterling cast; gorgeous singing; and well-conceived, energetic and precise dancing make Arena’s production a delight, notwithstanding the conceptual baggage.



Signature Theatre Xanadu

By • May 24th, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Virginia

Signature Theatre proves itself again with creative and electrifying staging of a difficult show; assembling all of the components into a great night’s entertainment.



Shakespeare Theatre Company The Servant of Two Masters

By • May 24th, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Washington DC

The Shakespeare Theater’s production of The Servant of Two Masters is the most outrageously over-the-top, nonstop, roll-in-the-aisles funny thing to hit this town in recent memory.



1st Stage Flora the Red Menace

By • May 23rd, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Virginia

In a well-intended and generally well-executed, but ultimately futile, bit of theater archeology, 1st Stage dusts off the 1965 Kander-Ebb musical, Flora the Red Menace.



Chlamydia Dell’arte: A Sex-ed Burlesque

By • May 23rd, 2012 • Category: New York, Reviews

Husbands should see this show. There should be more educational theatre like this. Think of the field trips.

By • May 23rd, 2012 • Category: New York, Reviews

Any1Man is a universal portrait of all men and the lives any single man could be leading depending on his own choices combined with what the fates may have in store for him.



Port Tobacco Players Into the Woods

By • May 16th, 2012 • Category: Maryland, Reviews

Port Tobacco’s Into the Woods is smart and pleasing.



WSC Avant Bard The Bacchae

By • May 16th, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Virginia

Given the history of the last 100 years, a classical play about the power and destructiveness of irrationality may not be so far removed from our reality as we would like to believe.



Riverside Dinner Theater Anything Goes

By • May 16th, 2012 • Category: Reviews, Virginia

Remember: What happens on the S.S. American, stays on the S.S. American. Except for telling your friends to check out this production. It’s a Cole Porter classic not to be missed!



Kensington Arts Theatre Rooms: A Rock Romance

By • May 15th, 2012 • Category: Maryland, Reviews

Botteri and Jones have talent and stamina and they sell the story along with the music; but the story sinks without their talent.
