Report From New York: Revival Of Shepard’s Fool For Love Is Tightly-Coiled Intimate Evening
A low-rent motel room on the edge of the Mojave Desert has never been more claustrophobic—nor more intense—than the shabby one in which three people collide against each other in Sam Shepard’s 1983 Fool for Love, getting a superb revival by the Manhattan Theatre Club at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
Enthralling ‘Constellations’ Explores Infinite Multi-Verse

Thinking Cap’s Wilde Ride Takes ‘Earnest’ To A 1978 Disco Ball
Thinking Cap Theatre sets The Importance of Being Earnest in a madcap lampoon of New York City’s disco era.

Report From New York: Estefans’ ‘On You Feet’ Is Electric Meld Of Cuban-American Joy & Pride
Start the clock, Florida. The moment tickets go on sale for the national tour of On Your Feet!, get on line. In fact, if you’re planning to be anywhere near the Big Apple, shell out the ducats.

It’s fortunate that Newsies is a dance-centric musical because much of the lyrics and dialogue were nearly impossible to understand in the national tour visiting the Arsht Center from Broadway Across America. But that dancing is spectacular and well-worth seeing.
Despite Snazzy Tech Design, Political Satire Angry Fags Wanders Off-Message
Immersive technology goes a long way in elevating Topher Payne’s Angry Fags at Island City Stage, but the play still suffers from elephantine pacing and a sense of crippling logorrhea. Yet there is a modicum of brilliance awaiting patient audiences.
