  • 'Stereophonic' plays NPR's Tiny Desk Concert
    Posted At: December 10, 2024
    NPR's Mitra I. Arthur writes…..The process of artistic creation makes for perfect storytelling. There's the unsexy doubt and the exhilarating breakthroughs, the fortifying confirmations and the sticky pockets. It is a messy process. This whole creative affair gets stickier when the artist is a band full of complex personalities and fraught relationships.This is the central premise of David Adjmi's play Ster...

  • If you like campy take-offs with a clever premise and quality music, here is Desperate Measures / STAGEANDCINEMA
    Posted At: December 4, 2018

    Desperate Measures - the Off-Broadway hit, which just closed at New World Stages on October 28, 2018, is a Wild West musical inspired by, meaning it's very loosely based on, Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. If you like clever, campy take-offs with a clever premise and Broadway quality music, here it is. Sure you'll miss most of the iambic pentameter dialogue from Peter Kellogg's book, b...

    Posted At: September 7, 2018

    Shakespeare never ceases to surprise me, I've seen multiple interpretations of his works set in all manner of ways and you really can set these classic stories in all manner of places and periods. Sometimes, with a bit of adaption by modern-day creatives, the unexpected happens and you end up with something substantially better than what you began with. So it is with Desperate Measures. I would have love...

It may have a secret weapon: the Grammys love divas like Bette Midler. "Dear Evan Hansen" is curre...

    Not starting the SpongeBob SquarePants musical cast album with "Whoooooooo lives in a pineapple under the sea?" is like not starting an Abe Lincoln musical with "Four score and seven years ago." Okay, maybe not that. Maybe it's more like not starting an Oscar Meyer musical with "my bologna has a first name." Instead, after a quick prologue, the SpongeBob album gets underway wi...

  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Broadway Cast Recording gets ✭✭✭✭✭ from britishtheatre.com
    Posted At: June 21, 2017

    I was a HUGE fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when it opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane with a score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Audiences were presented with a theatrical extravaganza, but what really struck me was the fabulous score which used only one song from the Gene Wilder film. Shaiman and Wittman had pulled off the near impossible by channelling the Wonka zeitgeist, creat...

    REVIEW BY Jill Weinlein - As a little girl, I enjoyed listening to Broadway musical albums over and over before seeing the show. Listening to the music, always brought excitement and enhanced the visual experience, as I knew the lyrics the actors were singing and sometimes would silently sing along with them. Recently I listened to the new Broadway cast recording of Michael Stewart and Jerr...

  • I think I might be in love. Freaky Friday, a new musical / Houston Chronicle
    Posted At: June 9, 2017

    I think I might be in love. It feels strange to even express it, because it's with a show that has the worst title in the world: "Freaky Friday: A New Musical." For me that recalls the body-switching 2003 film with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, while for others it's the 1976 version with Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster. Each of them was built around the formula of a mother and daughter ...

    Not every book or movie can be successfully transformed into a play or musical.Broadway actress Heidi Blickenstaff says it works for Freaky Friday "because there is magic involved, it is inherently theatrical.
