by Caryn Robbins - May 26, 2011


The San Francisco Gate has compiled a list of Shakespearean plays which will take place this summer throughout the Bay Area. Some 28 of the Bard's works are on offer this summer from the usual ('Romeo and Juliet,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' 'Twelfth Night,' 'Macbeth') to such rarities as his first, goriest tragedy, 'Titus Andronicus' (opening Cal Shakes' season), and the late, odd 'Cymbeline' (S.F. Shakespeare).

Review - Where's Charley?: The Guy's Only Doing It For Some Doll
by Ben Peltz - Mar 19, 2011


Although I'll admit to not being completely familiar with Cole Porter's See America First and George M. Cohan's The Governor's Son, it's quite possible that Frank Loesser's score for Where's Charley? could be considered the finest Broadway debut for a composer/lyricist who would eventually occupy a place on musical theatre's top tier.

Luker and McGillin to Star in WHERE'S CHARLEY? for Encores!
by Robert Diamond - Feb 3, 2011


Rebecca Luker and Howard McGillin will star in Frank Loesser's Where's Charley, the final New York City Center Encores! production of the 2010-11 season, running March 17 - 20. Where's Charley?, based on Brandon Thomas' Charley's Aunt, has a book by George Abbott and music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. It will be directed by John Doyle and choreographed by Alex Sanchez with musical direction by Rob Berman. Where's Charley?, Frank Loesser's first Broadway score, immediately demonstrated the master's easy command of wit and romance, sophistication and high jinks. George Abbott's adaptation of Brandon Thomas' classic college farce Charley's Aunt delivered 'Once in Love With Amy,' 'My Darling, My Darling' and 'The New Ashmolean Marching Song' to the hit parade, and launched Loesser into the songwriting stratosphere. The musical opened at the St. James Theater on October 11, 1948, and played 792 performances. It was directed by George Abbott, choreographed by George Balanchine and starred Ray Bolger, who won a Tony Award for his performance. Where's Charley? will run March 17-20, 2011.
