Celebrity memoirs for Kirkus

I wrote a roundup of upcoming musical-minded memoirs for Kirkus' fall preview. Fun! Here's the link.

On tour with the Benny Anderssons Orkester

I tagged along to four shows by the Benny Anderssons Orkester and lived to tell the tale in the New York Times. Click here for the feature — with its great photos by David B. Torch.

Little Gem

A little late posting this review but I have a good excuse for the delay: I was traveling for a story due to be published next week. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here's the link to Little Gem.

Point Blank

Let's see, which Point Blank should you watch today? Just make sure it's not the one I just reviewed for the Times!

Havel: The Passion of Thought

The Potomac Theater Project has unearthed a trio of Havel plays for its annual summer residency at the Atlantic 2. Was it worth it? Check out my Times review to find out.

Interview with Michael R. Jackson

What fun it was to write this feature about Michael R. Jackson — starting with seeing Liz Phair in Prospect Park with him. The concert himself was great but watching it next to him added a whole extra layer of entertainment. Click here for the piece.

Lesbians on Broadway (or not)

I wrote a critic's notebook for the Times about the fact that lesbian theater isn't doing too badly Off and Off Off Broadway, but once it's time to make it into the big, lucrative league known as Broadway — well, that's another matter.

Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages is back, smaller (it's now at New World Stages) but also bigger (the show finally has songs by Def Leppard). My Times review is here.

EST one-act plays marathon

I dropped by EST to check out Series C of their annual one-act festival and I have to say, that wasn't the strongest batch. Check out my Times review for more info.
