August: Osage County

The Little Mermaid
It’s a sad day for Disney when the crown jewel of its animated
features, "The Little Mermaid", is treated to a limp translation on
Broadway - especially given all the money that they must have thrown
at this production.

The Norman Conquests
Imagine wanting to throttle someone at the same time you need to comfort him and you’ll understand the deeply dysfunctional family’s feelings about Norman, the title character of Alan Ayckbourn’s revival, in “The Norman Conquests”. Along with several... [more] |

Waiting for Godot
If Beckett’s "Waiting For Godot" is the thinking man’s play then the new revival at Studio 54 starring Nathan Lane, Bill Erwin, John Goodman and John Glover is brilliant. In a time when the whole world is wondering ‘what happened when I wasn’t paying... [more] |
