The Negro Ensemble Company Presents CABARET EMIGRE by Sophia Romma, 11/2-11/18
by BWW News Desk - Oct 04, 2012
The human, emigrant condition is examined in 'Cabaret Emigré,' a new play by Sophia Romma, directed by Charles Weldon, to be presented by the Negro Ensemble Company from November 2 to 18 at the Lion Theater, Theater Row. The play contains ten Lewis Carroll-style testimonials that are told as cabaret acts by a collection of émigrés who are primarily Russian Jews like Romma herself, as well as émigrés from Latin America and Africa. All of them have no other motive than to entertain each other and their resulting acts are outrageous and macabre, like a journey down the rabbit hole. (more...)

SOUND OFF Special Edition: A Ken Russell Retrospective
by Pat Cerasaro - Nov 28, 2011
Champagne. Soap bubbles. Baked beans. Melted bon-bons. Four images - all part and parcel of perhaps the most famous scene he ever committed to celluloid (which, in this instance, is definitely saying something grand) - that seemingly conjure up so much of the universe of peerless British stage and film director Ken Russell. With or without Ann-Margret in a white leather cat-suit, Russell's TOMMY is one of the most unique and enduring movie musicals of the later half of the twentieth century and his other music-based films provide a plethora of information and insight (not all of it factual and much of it often quite admittedly wrongheaded) - so, for those alone, Russell is due much praise as far as theatre fans are concerned. Yet, with WOMEN IN LOVE, Russell mastered a quite different milieu - that of Victorian sexual politics - and brought the leading lady of that picture to both an Oscar nomination (which Ann-Margret also received for TOMMY) and a win; Glenda Jackson - a frequent Russell collaborator - taking top honors for her work. Look no further than Russell's adaptation of SALOME - or even Jackson's cameo in THE BOY FRIEND - for more of their palpable, playful, endlessly enjoyable onscreen rapport. So, too, did Russell give Kathleen Turner and Theresa Russell the roles of their careers with CRIMES OF PASSION and WHORE, respectively, and that's to say nothing of his long-standing and loving actor-director relationship with Oliver Reed, whose best work resides in Russell's still-banned Catholicism and exorcism consideration, THE DEVILS. Both an actor's director and a director's director, Russell was always passionately committed to his vision for the potential property and that was both a gift and a curse. The eccentricities and excesses may be overwhelming for some, but over the course of his fifty-year career, Ken Russell broke down barriers and created films that we may enjoy, analyze, debate and cherish for many decades to come.

BWW Reviews: Chance Theater Rocks Out With 'TOMMY'
by Michael L. Quintos - Aug 02, 2010
The latest to produce a full production of the rock opera THE WHO'S TOMMY is The Chance Theater in Anaheim Hills, the little store-front black box theater that, over the years, have managed to do quite a lot with its small space. In this fast-paced, tightly-directed new revival, THE WHO'S TOMMY-with sold out performances extended through August 15-hits with the ferocity of a full-on rock concert and features a confident, spirited cast. And, in somewhat of a nice surprise, the show utilizes newer technology unseen (or unaffordable) in many smaller theaters. (more...)
