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 …

The Lion King Broadway Show
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 …
Barleen’s Arizona Opry Dinner Theater

The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
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 …
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Rarely does the Oregon Shakespeare Festival stage a non-Shakespeare play on the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. I was privileged to see a production recently. I’ve seen Cyrano before live and enjoyed the play, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.
On the night I attended Marco Barricelli, cast as Cyrano, was …
Bus Stop by William Inge at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
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 …
Detroit Film Theatre,Detroit Michigan

Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba in Downtown Disney, Orlando, Florida

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 …

Romeo and Juliette: the Musical
Romeo and Juliette, being performed by a traveling production from France - must be a good performance, or so I thought. The lights were questionable, the costumes were down-right ridiculous, the acting left much to be imagined, and the classic part of the Shakespearean romance was left to the …
