Dr. Ruth Bio-Play Is Charming But Not As Enchanting Or Vibrant As The Real Thing
Awash in sex, war, adversity, sex, divorce, achievement, motherhood, determination, sex, the Holocaust and sex, it’s difficult to understand how the biographical play Becoming Dr. Ruth can be mildly charming, intermittently funny, occasionally poignant but not as terribly compelling or enchanting as its heroine.
Troupe Pitches To Over 50, But It’s Not Just For Older Crowd
While it does give actors and audiences of the 50-plus demographic a forum to create, Pigs Do Fly’s Fifty Plus – A Celebration of Life As We Know It isn’t just for those fifty or older; the humorous short plays, although sometimes predictable, presented life as we all know it.
Ghost: The Musical Surprisingly More Depth Than Just Illusion
But perhaps the biggest illusion of Ghost: The Musical at the Broward Center is that, at its face value, it’s an ordinary Broadway musical. Because of this notion, it doesn’t seem to get its proper due. Yet, what lies beneath this musical is what’s really captivating.
Humana Festival’s New Plays Glimpse What May/Should Come To South Florida Theaters Soon
If you’re seeking safe, predictable mainstream theater, avoid the annual Humana Festival of New Plays at the Actors Theatre of Louisville. If you seeking “thought-provoking, edgy new work,” this is the mecca for South Floridians who want to glimpse what theater is evolving into during the coming decades.
One More Trip Over The River At Stage Door Remains Warm And Funny Just Not As Vibrant
After nearly two decades of South Florida productions, the hilarious and poignant Over The River And Through The Woods has lost a bit of its power in this perfectly workmanlike and mildly affecting edition by Broward Stage Door. This trip to grandmother’s house may not be as vibrant as the one in your memory, but it still warms the gut like Aida’s ever-present pan of lasagna.
A Fresh New Argentina, Of Sorts, For Evita At The Kravis
This national tour of the 2012 Broadway revival of Evita is a strong fresh edition that gives the raw material a thorough makeover but does not deconstruct the piece. The experience is helped immeasurably by the clarion voices of the lead actors. The only facets missing most of the time are the electric sizzle and raging passions that marked earlier productions.
