THEATRE: THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE
THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE I saw this awful play before Clarence got sick, so that fact did not color my opinion of this story about a dead cat and blood and gore. Clarence’s poor health had nothing to do with my dislike of it. The topic, m

THEATRE: IN THE HEIGHTS
IN THE HEIGHTS In The Heights is one of the very few Broadway musicals that Mr. X was looking forward to seeing. We saw a bit of it on the Tonys two years ago, when it won four awards, and it looked great! As most touring companies nowadays do

KAREN’S MUSINGS: 2010 TONY AWARDS
2010 TONY AWARDS MUSINGS So last night, Broadway’s Tony Awards were handed out, and of course, for my classier readers, I have some random thoughts on everything about them. They’re listed kind-of in the order of the show, but sometimes a

THEATRE: SOUTH PACIFIC

THEATRE: DREAMGIRLS
DREAMGIRLS Sorry that I haven’t been posting daily for about a month, but my recent back problem is so serious that it hurts to type. Plus, it’s giving me a brain-cramp, so I can’t even think! But with rest, ice, and ibuprofen, I’m comin

THEATRE:STOMP
STOMP Yes, you read that right--Stomp is back for the gazillionth go-round! And still going strong. It’s a hard show to explain to people who haven’t seen it, (yes--there are still some of those in existence,) but I’ll try. [caption
