I drove to Edmonton to see —˜The Lion King’ because a friend of mine had an extra ticket. I was not thoroughly convinced I wanted to see it, because although I loved the Disney movie, with the wonderful soundtrack from Elton John, I am not really a —˜play’ or …

When I heard that RENT was closing its run on Broadway in August of 2008, I was devastated. I never had a chance to see it in New York, but I was a big fan of the soundtrack and the 2005 movie adaption. I soon discovered that RENT would …

I am part of the audience whenever I am watching UAAP. It can have a 21,000 people inside including …

This show is absolutely hilarious! Of course, that is the appeal, it’s a musical comedy. It’s probably one of the funniest, if not THE funniest musical comedy I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some good ones!
The soundtrack itself is great. With song titles such as “The Internet is for …

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 …

If you’ve only seen the movie version of “Bus Stop” starring Marilyn Monroe, you really haven’t seen “Bus Stop.” The play is intense and engrossing. The movie version spends about two thirds of the movie giving background information. It is lonely the last forty-five minutes or so that is …

“All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”
I have always heard this line. The line is, no doubt, a quite famous one. And I …

I am reviewing the small town Riviera movie theater, specifically located in Emmetsburg, Iowa. For years, this movie theater was supremely outdated, run down, and unattractive. Recently, it got a huge makeover. The sound system has been updated so movie goers can officially hear base. In regards to the …

I will say that this is a …

I always love to watch movies in a cinema or a theatre. Before I always go to theatres every weekend. But since I am becoming busier with work and in my studies, I decided to watch movies only if there is really a good movie.
I always choose the kind …

I like to go see a movie in theaters. Sure, it’s great to stay home with the husband and kids and curl up on the couch to see a movie, but sometimes, I like the thrill of watching it with a crowd of strangers, because sometimes, half the fun …

Village Corssing 18 in Skokie is one of my favorite movie theaters. While there might not be anything realy great about it that is different from other theaters, the most important thing is that you can always get to a movie on a day of its release or a …

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 …

I am reviewing the Spencer 3 theater located in Spencer, IA. For years, this theater was the only movie theater to serve the small town of Spencer, Iowa. Fortunately, about six years ago, a much larger, more efficient movie theater was built. As a result of this new …

The closest movie theater to my home is Regal Cinemas in Bear, Delaware. It is a huge theater that shows a total of 16 movies playing at any given time. I consider this a good thing and a bad thing. The bad thing about it is that it is …

I have been lucky and honored to see Wicked the Musical twice. I saw the 1st National Tour and the 2nd National tour, which gave me the fortune of seeing different actors.

This was a lovely performance that was energetic and well performed. The director John Morris Russell, was engaging …

This is a remarkable play and an innovative social project. In 1998, Mathew Shepard was beaten and left tied to a fence to die in Laramie, Wyoming, because he was gay and he revealed this fact to the wrong two people. This outrageous hate crime horrified the …

This version of Pride and Prejudice (wirtten by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley) has a wonderful artistic feel to it. The period, the buildings, the dress, the music, all flowed to bring out the emotions and drama so beautifully written by Ms. Austen. The relationship between Miss Elizabeth Bennett …

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, …

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 …

I attended a wonderful production of Billy Elliot at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago on Sunday, March 21 at 7:30 pm. I went into the show not knowing a thing about the story line or anything, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I definitely did not expect to love …

I have been to two different Regal Cinemas. One of them resides in the mall that is about twenty minutes away from my house and the other resides in Queens, New York. The one that I have gone to the most is the one that is closest to my …

Some cities have tourist spots named cityname-eye such as Singapore-eye, London-eye, Tokyo-eye, etc. All of them concern with vertical giant wheels equipped with seats with which people can experience seeing the view from the height. But Taipei-eye is different. It is a place where you can enjoy traditional Chinese theater.

There’s a bit of a stigma which Arizona carries about the age of its citizens. Simply put, many people in other states view it as an oversized retirement community because of the healthy dry air and abundance of sunshine. Barleen’s Arizona Opry derives all of its success from this …

I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …

The Detroit Film Theatre is an antique theater with really lush red velvet seats and gilded accents. The theater’s interior has a really rich and warm atmosphere, with classic filigrees on the ceiling, and the elaborate walls that you do not see with today’s new theaters. Just being there …
