Brinin’ Back The Quartet With Holiday Holly and Spangles
Elvis, Carl, Johnny and Jerry Lee return for the Million Dollar Quartet Christmas at Actors’ Playhouse with the same virtues and flaws as the previous editions: impressive musicians with winning personalities delivering a driving evening of kick-butt rock and a few holiday carols mixed in.
Report From New York: Almost Famous Is Pleasant If Not Memorable Musical
There’s nothing badly constructed or even half-baked about the pleasant Almost Famous based on the film, but only Boomers will see it as much more than a mildly diverting curiosity. It’s a decent effort from earnest professionals that you’re not likely to remember two weeks later.
Seniors Revitalize Their Lives In The Savannah Sipping Society.
The Savannah Sipping Society from Pigs Do Fly Productions is a hilarious, moving, and rejuvenating play about older women determined to live life to the fullest by seeking out new adventures.
‘Thin Place’ Explores a Conduit ‘Tween the Living & the Dead
The hard truth is that virtually no live theater is really chilling. A moment might make you jump, but a production likely will not haunt you. Okay, the London production of The Woman in Black. Now there’s a new contender, Boca Stage’s discomfiting mounting of The Thin Place, a kind of late Halloween gift.
Not the Retelling of the Elian Saga You Might Expect
The world premiere Elián at Miami New Drama is not remotely what you expect. Elián is not really about Elián. It’s about the political, social and moral firestorm fueled by ego, pride and bureaucracy that created one of the community-defining incidents in Cuban-American history — told with passion, yes, but shot through with satire, one-liners, a Castro puppet and sex jokes.
Like the Jersey Boys Sang, ‘Oh, What A Night’ at the Maltz
Much of the audience at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s opening night of Jersey Boys was its traditional well-heeled well-coiffed crowd. But their increasingly unfettered applause, then cheers, then standing ovation while clapping to their music reflected a specific message. “Our time, our music, our youth mattered.”
Butterflies Are Free Once Again at Riverside In Vero Beach
Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach opened its 50th season with Butterflies Are Free, a charming romantic comedy harkening back to the years of the theater’s beginning. While it may not be the big-name musical with which Riverside usually launches a season, it’s a frothy of-its-time favorite with appealing characters and plenty of laughs.
A Musical Beauty ‘Pageant’ Like None You’ve Seen – Probably
The musical comedy Pageant at Island City Stage delivers a lush array of talented contestants in carefully coifed wigs and gowns — except they’re all men.
Attend the Tale Once Again of Sweeney Todd at PPTOPA
The complexity of Sweeney Todd with tongue-twisting lyrics and a breakneck score is, far more difficult to master than most civilians appreciate. So render props to Pembroke Pines Theatre of the Performing Arts’ respectable production, which features some engaging performances, some quite fine voices and an earnestness of artists clearly filling items on their bucket list.
