THEATER: TITANIC

By |2024-11-04T10:19:09-05:00November 1st, 2024|Theater|Comments Off on THEATER: TITANIC

We know how this ends. Somewhere out there is an iceberg with Titanic's name on it. But no matter how many times I reconnect with this historical event through movies, documentaries, exhibitions, articles--I remain compelled by this tragic tale. I had never seen the Tony Award-winning Best Musical (1997 ) TITANIC The Musical-- until now [...]

THEATER: PRU PAYNE

Prudence Payne is a critic on the cusp of dementia. I trembled at the premise and buckled up for PRU PAYNE  a Boston Theater Critics CRITICS' PICK now having its East Coast premiere at SPEAKEASY STAGE directed by Paul Daigneault. As soon as Karen MacDonald hits the stage I know I'm in good hands—her Pru [...]

THEATER: NASSIM/ NETWORK

WHAT TO SEE NOW! NASSIM presented by The Huntington at the BCA CALDERWOOD through 10/27!  The show is never the same twice, literally. Each night a different performer takes the stage and that performer has never before seen the script! It's a leap of faith for all involved, performer and audience. Nassim has been performed [...]

MOVIES/PEAK SEASON, HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, DINDIN

My take on more of what I have seen on screens large and small lately.  (Titles are hyperlinked to their trailers.) PEAK SEASON offers a soft slice of reality as two wildly different people who are either unavailable or unlikely to commit to a romantic relationship-- connect. It happens unexpectedly but for the conventions of [...]

MOVIES: THE APPRENTICE

By |2024-10-10T23:36:06-04:00October 10th, 2024|Drama, Movies|Comments Off on MOVIES: THE APPRENTICE

I LOVE movies. But the summer, post pandemic and capped off by the writers' strike, was a dud. This fall seemed on its way to falling flat-- until today when I saw the best film of the year so far: THE APPRENTICE --a title that ironically references the TV show hosted by ex-president Donald Trump. [...]

You're in luck-- URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL  the season opener at LYRIC STAGE BOSTON is a Boston Theater Critics Association CRITIC's PICK which means-- you just have to go!   That stinky title announces the cesspool of corruption in a city where folks have been forced to pay to pee! It seems that a 20-year drought [...]
