Although billed as being “loosely based” on the classic Shakespearian comedy, “Desperate Measures,” currently playing at New World Stages, has the “guts” of “Measure for Measure” with the…

Off-Broadway Review: “Desperate Measures” at the York Theatre Company

Off-Broadway Review: “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” at the York Theatre Company

May 31, 2016 | Off-Broadway > | Tags:

The new production of “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” at the York Theater Company would seem to be a clever idea, using age appropriate actors to portray the renowned Peanuts characters, especially after a successful concert version at “54 Below.” The difficulty with this concept is that the show was not written for children to perform. The vocals needed…
