A "Shy" Revival? Not At All!October 1, 2024
Quirky, charming, and delightfully corny are the three descriptions I’d use in describing “Once Upon A Mattress.”
A Bloody, Spine-Tingling, And Personally Historic Homecoming Indeed!September 1, 2024
“The blood is the life! The blood is the life!” I think that sums up what my next project is about, don’t you think?
A Murder, A Green Man, & Forbidden Desire. Oh My!August 5, 2024
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. I’m proud to announce the 3 shows I’ll be taking part in this month for Shakespeare In The Valley/Theater Under The Stars 19th Season.
Come On! Feel The Illinoise!July 11, 2024
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. That was the only word Nick and I could muster up after leaving the St. James. But after a few days of post-show processing, let’s see if I can do more justice than simply “wow.”
Best Play Of The Year. Really?????July 1, 2024
Your patience for this one was much appreciated; I needed time gathering my thoughts and to let this one sit with me for a bit.
"Waterville Valley Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!"May 11, 2024
In all the craziness of the last month, I never got the chance to share some exciting updates!!
Step Right Up! Step Right Up!May 1, 2024
The dark underbelly of the greatest show on earth is on full display here at “Water For Elephants,” a new musical that is the honest-to-god definition of what it means to perfectly find the balance between spectacle and gorgeous storytelling. Never read the book, never saw the film, and I still was enthralled for every single minute of it!
"Woman Is..." Leaving Audiences Divided And TalkingMay 1, 2024
If “Les Miz” and “Evita” were to conceive a musical child, with a little help being raised by “Cabaret” and “The Great Comet,” then presto! You’ve got yourself “Lempicka”: probably the most original musical, about a true original one should add, to have been birthed onto the Broadway stage this season. Now I wouldn’t call it a perfect musical, and I talk about that more in the sense of its book.
"If This Is Love," Then It Needs More Fine Tuning Here And ThereMay 1, 2024
Going in with low expectations for “The Notebook” was probably the best decision I could’ve made because it actually turned out to be a lot more engaging than I thought! I believe the critics might have been too harsh on this one, but that’s not to say this musical has its flaws.
The G.A.B.'s Take Broadway By StormMay 1, 2024
Everything in my history classes were always presented in such a clean cut way. I never got a complete picture of many things, especially on the darker side of key points in history. I always knew the 19th amendment was passed and that they marched, but I did not know about the abuse people in power utilized or the feuds within the suffrage movement. Now those stories are coming to light in a revolution called “Suffs.”
