BWW Reviews: Carissa Rodriguez 'La Collectionneuse' at Front Desk Apparatus

Annina Nosei once told me it is a great idea to open an art gallery across from a major Museum. Larry Gagosian's uptown gallery on Madison Avenue is a block from the Whitney. No doubt his intent was to be in the shadow of the Whitney or to cast his shadow on the Whitney- you be the judge. Down the avenue at 218 Madison Avenue in Suite 4c is Rob Teeter's Front Desk Apparatus across from the Morgan Library. (more...)

BWW Reviews: SPELLING BEE is Musical Theatre Candy at Its Absolute Best

After riveting audiences with an emotionally raw and intellectual inaugural production of Stephen Sondheim's ASSASSINS, MJR Theatricals/Music Box Musicals is serving up a wondrously side-splitting, laugh-a-minute presentation of the Tony-award winning musical THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. The clever and hilarious musical is based on Rebecca Feldman's C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E improvisation performed by The Farm, with music and lyrics by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin. It treats the audience as if they are really at the fictional spelling bee, and the cast gleefully breaks the fourth wall to interact with members of the audience. The musical follows six quirky kids (played by adults) through the spelling bee, and introduces the audience to three adults that are just as peculiar as the kids. (more...)
