Review: SINATRA THE MUSICAL, Aldwych Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Jun 24, 2026

The stories about Francis Albert Sinatra are endless. Two decades before Beatlemania hit the States, thousands of girls queued around the block so they could see the short, skinny kid from Hoboken sing while they cried, screamed and fainted. He had a thick New Jersey accent and a thin skin, punching one critic in the back of the head and physically threatening other members of the press. His friendship with mob members and their goons supposedly helped him out of a recording contract and for decades the FBI kept a file on him running to thousands of pages. He was close friends with Marilyn Monroe and gifted her a dog; she named it “Maf”, short for Mafia Honey, just to wind him up. At the age of 48, he dated a teenage Mia Farrow and the two eventually married in 1966.

Review: EVERYTHING, DEVOURED at Sitar Arts Center
by Aidan O'Connor - Apr 19, 2026

Picture former United States President Ronald Reagan as a demon drag queen summoned to the Chicago apartment of a group of twenty somethings. A bit bizarre to think about. On paper, the far-fetched, extraordinarily unique pitch shouldn’t work. Yet, in the world premiere production of Everything, Devoured, playwright Katherine Gwynn has created a superbly demonic play rooted in pure humanity.

On Friday, April 17th, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal show at the Warner (specifically the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre) in Torrington, CT, THE WEDDING SINGER, based on the 1998 movie that is set in 1985.

Without exception, every lead and ensemble cast member absolutely excels in his or her role or roles!
