My favorite French Touch tracks
OK, so this is far from exhaustive but it's a good sampler. And sure, I include Stardust -- it's still great! Click here for the fun house.

Joshua Harmon's new play is a lot of fun but so conventional under its contemporary trappings. My review's here.
Doctor Faustus
Chris Noth and Zach Grenier star in a brave attempt that doesn't land. My review of the CSC revival is here.

Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs
Thank god the title of Alan Cumming's cabaret show is deceiving and the setlist isn't all tearjerkers. My review is here.
