Film Review: DAVID BYRNE'S AMERICAN UTOPIA, In Cinemas
by Kat Mokrynski - Aug 4, 2026
Directed by Spike Lee, David Byrne’s American Utopia is a filmed version of David Byrne’s Broadway stage show, which itself is inspired by the record of the same name. The show ran twice on Broadway, first from 2019 to 2020 and then from 2021 to 2022. As someone who saw American Utopia ten times on Broadway, I was curious as to what the film could bring to a show I already loved, and ended up being very impressed by the results.

Review: The Gordon-Foreman WHAT TO WEAR is Totally Wonderful at Prototype in BAM's Harvey
by Richard Sasanow - Jan 18, 2026
Yoo-hoo, Metropolitan Opera. Looking for something new/old/odd/wonderful? I hope you made it to the Prototype Festival’s WHAT TO WEAR, by Michael Gordon and Richard Foreman, staged by Paul Lazar and Annie-B Parson of Big Dance Theater following the original’s aesthetic from 2006. The opera just finished up its four-performance run at the BAM Harvey in downtown Brooklyn—and it’s the definition of event programming in its most complimentary meaning.

Review: Exciting Bullock and Finley Take on Met Debut of Adams’s ANTONY & CLEOPATRA
by Richard Sasanow - May 13, 2025
