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...
During the dark days of the London blitz in 1941, Noel Coward's office was bombed to the ground. 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

Should that be true, here is the hottest tip of the year! Get tickets for this season's finest production to date. "Much Ado About Nothing" is playing only until September 16 at The Old Globe center in Balboa Park at the...
"Barefoot in the Park" is like opening a time capsule. It is the timeless tale of a loving couple settling into married life. Neil Simon penned it early in his career. 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
Just a scant 10 years before Columbus discovered America, this story unfolds high above ground on the Ille de Cite. Lifted from the pages of Victor Hugo's acclaimed novel (ca 1831) about a deformed man and his love for a beautiful gypsy woman, the classic tale of bittersweet romance is brought to life by the players at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is riveting. Masterfully staged and passionately directed by Steven Glaudini, this is this se... Full story

La Jolla Playhouse has long established itself as the spring board for new works. After a successful run at LJP many shows land on Broadway.

A graduate of Baylor University in Waco, the one-time bartender, in a prior interview answered that he was accustomed to not feeling like he...

It's a hit! "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is the funniest show of 2018! Wacky and absurd, this rib-tickling show wraps up the 36th season for North Coast Repertory Theatre with a bang! While the show is directed by David Ellenstein with subtlety, it is the dazzling choreography of Colleen Kollar Smith that gives it heart. Accompanied by musical director Ron Councell, opening night was a flawless performance. Remarkably, Ellenstein filled the wee stage with...

It comes as no surprise that good fences make good neighbors. True from the time of Ben Franklin and probably more so today, playwright Karen Zacarias delivers with "Native Gardens." The show is smart and cheeky. It's an eye-opening look into our preconceived attitudes toward immigration, race and privilege. No doubt, the cure for today's culturally sensitive environment. Written with savvy politically correct insight wrapped in biting truths, the locale is none other than...
Andrew Lloyd Webber is an icon in musical theatre. Lovingly known as the creator genius behind "The Phantom", it isn't until he writes the new music for "School of Rock" that his real diversity sparkles. And when partnering with Julian Fellows who could even guess how they can rock out! After all, Fellows is that same stuffy guy who created and hosted the award winning "Downton Abbey". I know, who would ever imagine he was this cool? As it turns out they (Webber and Fellows)... Full story
The Moliere Award is a literary prize based on a theatrical technique created during the 17th century by the French dramatist Jean-Baptiste Poquelin aka Moliere. He is recognized as the creator of the comedic technique incorporating double-vision. Seeing two things at once. A broad approach to comedy akin to commedia dell’arte. Not unlike the Yanny/Laurel internet phenomenon. As it turns out the words were broadcast on two different wave lengths and so your hearing determined... Full story
