Eric Mattson and Nick Lanari graduated from Fallbrook High School nearly 16 years apart, but last week the two ended up performing on the same stage about 50 miles away from the place they grew up. "The whole idea behind this is that it was nice having two Fallbrook grads performing on the same stage, both doing well," Mattson said, who now lives in Huntington Beach. Mattson started playing in bands back in high school, creating his first band, Makeshift3, with fellow...

While this is a new touring production of the famous opera let it be said that this production is visually spectacular. It's hard to believe 32 years have passed since its opening in New York City. "The Phantom of the Opera" stormed Broadway with Michael Crawford in the leading role. It is one of few shows that seem to be bullet proof. Regardless of who plays The Phantom, one is never disappointed with the production. As is again in this case. "The Phantom" in this tour is...

Always wanting to write a ghost story - but not to have anything to with the ongoing war – Mr. Coward left London for Wales where he could find a quiet spot. In less time than most of us need to write a thank you note, he stuck to a strict regimen and churned out the completed work known as "Blithe Spirit" in just six days. It is a charming and eccentric tale about conjuring up p... Full story

After an unprecedented drought of quality dramas over the past six to 12 months, I was lucky enough to see “Disobedience” on DVD. While the storyline evolves rather slowly and is a bit hard to follow initially, nothing could derail the gut-wrenching story of friendship, family, religion, love and loss. As the film commences, three lifetime friends, played by Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz and Alessandro Nivola, reconnect after some years of separation. Divine portrayals by all of them adjoin the heavenly writing that, lay...

"Hairspray, The Broadway Musical" is about every-girl who dreams of being the popular one that goes steady with the cutest boy in town. Set in Baltimore, Maryland, it's 1962, as Tracy Turnblad (Bethany Slomka) awakens to embrace a new day. Singing the tribute song to her city, Slomka's big voice was marred by an over-amplified sound system that drowned out the words. Fortunately, it was quickly corrected for the duration of the show. Her best friend, Penny Pingleton (Emma... Full story

He captured the vibrancy of the Camelot era; as the Kennedy's settled into the White House, newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter moved into their fifth-floor walk-up in Greenwich Village. "Barefoot" was only Simon's second play, but it brought him his first big success. It was 1963. Some suggest it is reminiscent... Full story
