Broadway Review: “The Collaboration” at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (Closed Saturday, February 11, 2023)

Unlike the typical one-thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle where the completed puzzle matches the image on the cover, “The Collaboration’s” dénouement and resolution are nothing like the playwright’s supposed intention when writing the script. Anthony McCarten sets us up for a scuba diving expedition. The playwright teases us into a deep-sea dive into the wreckage that is the lives of two disparate…

Off-Broadway Review: “Merrily We Roll Along” at New York Theatre Workshop (Closed Sunday, January 22, 2023)

It is difficult to believe that it has been a year since the death of Stephen Sondheim, one of the most prolific American composer and lyricists in the history of musical theatre. New York has certainly paid tribute to this theatrical icon by continuing to produce revivals of several shows from his vast repertoire, including the present production of “Merrily…

Broadway Review: “The Piano Lesson” at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre (Closed Sunday, January 29, 2023)

Years after August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson” was first produced on Broadway in 1990, Black playwrights have continued to grapple with this enduring question which defines the struggle between Bernice (an indomitable and passionate Danielle Brooks) and her brother Boy Willie (a broken but resilient John David Washington) in Wilson’s epic drama: “Is it possible to build one’s future without…

Off-Broadway Review: “Sandra” at the Vineyard Theatre (Closed Sunday, December 18, 2022)

December 10, 2022 | LGBTQ+, Off-Broadway, on that day > | "Sandra", Carol Rosegg, costume design by Linda Cho, David Cale, David Roberts, Eliza Anastasio, Katie Ailinger, Leigh Silverman, lighting design by Thom Weaver, Marjan Neshat, Matthew Dean Marsh, scenic design by Rachel Hauck, sound design by Kathy Ruvuna, Theatre Reviews Limited, Vineyard Theatre

There are two paths to “disappearance” in David Cale’s engaging “Sandra” currently running at the Vineyard Theatre. The audience discovers that Ethan Martin’s path has been well thought out. Sandra Jones’ (Marjan Neshat) path on the other hand is completely reactive, random, and riddled with danger. Two paths diverge in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the choices made by both on…

Broadway Review: “Mike Birbiglia” The Old Man & The Pool” at Lincoln Center Theater’s Vivian Beaumont Theater (Closed Sunday, January 15, 2023)

Mr. Birbiglia’s affinity for medicine is often part of or the central theme in his stand-up comedy gigs around the nation. His particular interest in his own health is also pivotal to his…

Off-Broadway Review: The New Group’s “Evanston Salt Costs Climbing” at Pershing Square Signature Center’s Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre (Closed Sunday, December 18, 2022)

If Will Arbery’s “Evanston Salt Costs Climbing were an absurdist play, its non-sense narrative might make some sense. However, this is not a “Waiting for Godot” for post-pandemic Evanston, Illinois, or a pre-recession America. Peter (a foul-mouthed and depressive Jeb Kreager) and Basil’s (an equally foul-mouthed but agreeable Ken Leung) world borders on meaningless and the play’s characters are experiencing…
