Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, CA
I have been to the Henry Fonda Theater a number of times in the past four to five years to see concerts, and it’s undoubtedly my favorite small venue in Los Angeles. Unlike the Troubadour, the Echo, or similar other venues, it has a great deal of open space, …

Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan

King John by William Shakespeare
“King John” is one of those troublesome plays written by Shakespeare. It isn’t often staged. I saw it recently for the second time and found the current production at the Oregon Shakespeare festival to be an excellent production that did not drag. In fact it was extremely exciting.
I loved …
Wicked (spoiler possible)
Oh my. If you love The Wizard of Oz, or just want a good night out, go see Wicked !! It is one of the most amazing musicals I’ve been too. Even men should love it. It opens with Glenda coming down on her ‘bubble’ and then tells the …
Mountain Dew Soda
To be honest, Mountain Dew Soda is not my style. I’ve tried it, and I don’t like it. It has an odd citrus flavor that is terribly unappealing, and it looks like something I can’t write about. There’s nothing I like about Mountain Dew Soda, except …

When I opened the surprise present my husband had excitedly produced on my birthday, my heart sank - tickets for the whole family to see The Mouse Trap at London’s St Martins Theatre. I am not a great lover of Agatha Christie and the thought of having to sit …
Pride and Prejudice
This version of Pride and Prejudice (wirtten by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley) has a wonderful artistic feel to it.

Interchangeable Parts’ Rocky Horror
Every Saturday night at 11:30 p.m., the freaks of Florida somehow find their way to The Beach Theatre for their weekly dose of Rocky Horror. I blame extensive advertising during shows and on the Interchangeable parts website, http://ip.rhps.org/.
The theatre is seedy, the popcorn is stale, and I’ve never …

Lyric Opera in Chicago, IL
I have been to Lyric Opera of Chicago twice. The first was for L’Elisir d’Amore, or The Elixir of Love, in March of 2010. The second was for Carmen in March of 2011. The Lyric Opera is a very prestigious opera house, and for good reason. I thought both …
West Side Story, at The National Theater, Washington, D.C.

This current production of Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” ad the Oregon Shakespeare festival is one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve seen several productions in the past and have enjoyed them all, but this was special because of G. Valmont Thomas as Sir John Falstaff, Knight.
This play was …

The play ‘Wicked’ is a brilliant masterpiece (directed by Joe Mantello) that will surely sweep the next generation of cultured Americans off their feet!

It tells …

The War Horse play
This play is simply stunning.
I saw it at the National Theatre in December 2008, but I believe it is now opening at a new Theatre in the West End.
War Horse is based on a children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo - but don’t let that influence your opinion, the content …

I should preface this review by stating that over the years, I’ve seen over 100 shows on and off Broadway. I’m a huge theatre fan, loving everything from the classics to the little known shows. I’ve seen my fair share of wonderful productions and complete embarrassments. I’ve also been …
