BWW Reviews: Quilter's END OF THE RAINBOW Blows Into the Ahmansonby Don Grigware - Mar 21, 2013For diehard fans of Judy Garland, for those who adored every song she sang and every word she uttered, Peter Quilter's account of Judy's final comeback in the UK at Talk of the Town in December, 1968, called End of the Rainbow must be seen. Yes, it's darkly frank showing literally the decay of the alcoholic/drug addicted superstar whose great pain and loneliness drove her over the edge, but it retains a delicious sense of humor, Judy Garland's unique sense of humor whereby she could put herself down and everyone in the room around her, get big laughs and get away with the deprecation...and still be adulated and adored by all. Garland was iconic who delivered every performance from the bottom of her soul, and in End of the Rainbow Tracie Bennett's mesmerizing electricity dominates her portrayal, giving us the essence of the woman on and off the stage. It's uncannily brilliant! (more...)
BWW Reviews: Solid Cast Deserves More Than Stale Script of DESERT CITIESby Jeff Davis - Jan 28, 2013Ever been to Palm Springs? It's that strange Californian land were a few glistening and brilliant buildings punctuate the otherwise cold, desolate and uninteresting landscape. The same can be said of the Palm Springs set play Other Desert Cities. While the play, now playing at the Austin Playhouse, has a few shimmering moments and features an incredible cast, the majority of the play is bleak, flat, and barren. (more...)

Fashion Photo of the Day 2/11/13 - Rihannaby Rachel Stone - Feb 11, 2013Rihanna left little to the imagination and yet was still completely covered in her custom made Azzedine Alaia at last night's Grammy Awards. The young singer looked radiant in the gauzy, red gown that was drapped and cut just-so. All eyes were on the red carpet this year after the CBS Standard And Practice issued a 'Wardrobe Advisory' for this year's awards. And it seemed like most performers stuck their tongue out at the dress code (Jennifer Lopez anyone?). (more...)
BWW Reviews: Beatles Story BACKBEAT Rocks the Ahmansonby Don Grigware - Feb 1, 2013Based on the 1994 film, the Glasgow/UK stage version of Backbeat is making its US premiere at the Ahmanson with all the fire, guts and gusto that engender a genuinely moving dramatic story. This is not a musical, but a drama with music. Let's face it: the Beatles more than any other musical group in history changed our outlook ...and our entire culture. We not only listened to their music, but copied their haircuts, their dress, their attitude and came into sync with every move they made, some good, some bad. For those unfamiliar with how they got started, it was not really in Liverpool, but in a sleazy underground club in Hamburg. Germany in the early 60s. Backbeat fills in these background details, but much more than a docudrama, relates a powerful story about John, Paul, George, Pete Best - drummer before Ringo (Adam Sopp) - and more importantly Stu Sutcliffe (Nick Blood). Stu was an intimate artist friend of John. John literally forced Stu into the group in the early days and so his story rightfully commands as much attention in Backbeat as the legendary boys themselves. Stu's story is sad. He, unlike the others, got cheated of fame and glory. (more...)
