Cagney

I'm not the biggest fan of biopics, bioplays, biomusicals, biotech, but Cagney goes down easy. My review's here.

An Act of God

Playing God is actually below Jim Parsons' skill set. My review of his latest Broadway show is here.

Melissa Ross' Nice Girl embodies what Labyrinth does best. My review's here.

The best and worst of Eurovision 2015

As Eurovision fans know, the best and worst are often the same thing at the contest. This year didn't disappoint. Click here for my selection.

The Other Thing

The Other Thing is what happens when you won't commit to your topic. My review of this dull show is here.

The Sound and the Fury

The bad news is that The Sound and the Fury is confusing. The good news is that it doesn't matter. My review of Elevator Repair Service's Faulkner staging is here.

Tuesdays at Tesco's

The play itself isn't all that great but Simon Callow is well worth a trip to 59E59. My review's here.

Permission

Hand to God and now Permission: Robert Askins is my favorite bard of American repression! My review of his new show is here.

The Way We Get By

I've become a Neil LaBute fan but this new one feels not quite finished. My review's here.

Athol Fugard's latest opens at Signature. My review's here.

Wayward Pines

M. Night Shyamalan makes his TV debut with a promisingly spooky thriller. My review's here.

Thoughts on The Good Wife's season finale

Of course there was no way The Good Wife could top its stellar season 5, but the show did flounder this past year. My thoughts on the season finale are here.

Cool Hand Luke

I'm on board with what the Godlight company is doing (stage adaptations of iconic novels), but Cool Hand Luke is just half a success. My review's here.

Zorba!

Zoe Wanamaker and John Turturro can't really sing but they can zorba! My review's here.

Dinner with the Boys

Fans of flaming turkeys may want to check out Dinner with the Boys just to see what an excruciatingly bad show looks like. My review's here.

Forever

It's not taking anything away from Dael Orlandersmith's experience to say that the exploration of her childhood in her new show is harrowing but also strangely banal. Click here for my review.

Why success is killing Veep and House of Cards

As soon as their main protagonists got what they wanted — ie they became president — House of Cards and Veep went down the drain. Click here for my column about it.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona

I've had issues with Fiasco's previous shows but the company's approach works really well with this Shakespeare comedy. My review's here.
