Driven by her commanding voice, melancholic piano and a beat that thumps and builds its way to a powerfully cathartic finale, the track examines the relationships in our lives that we recognize are toxic, and yet can't stay away from.
BWW Review: HUFF at The Kennedy CenterFebruary 11, 2020I do not feel qualified to assess the performance of HUFF at the Kennedy Center. Cree actor and playwright Cliff Cardinal's solo show is so graphic and abrasive, I would recommend that rather than read a critique to prepare yourself, work it out with your therapist.
BWW Review: SILENT SKY at Ford's Theatre is Bursting with ImaginationJanuary 31, 2020The city lights of Washington may typically obscure the night sky, but a portal to the cosmos has opened in downtown DC. Playwright Lauren Gunderson has gifted us a corner of the galaxy through the telescopic lens of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt's life and scientific discoveries. Leavitt's work may have been rooted in facts and figures, but SILENT SKY is bursting with imagination.
BWW Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Arena StageNovember 15, 2019Despite being set in 1899, NEWSIES feels marvelously modern. It is sharp, slick, and explosive.
Even if, like me, you saw the bright new production of NEWSIES on Broadway in 2012, the Arena Stage setting is instantly memorable. Being emerged in the theater-in-the-round is like the difference between seeing a beloved film on the big screen and walking into the middle of the action in the Disney theme parks.
BWW Review: BLUE CAMP at Rainbow Theatre ProjectNovember 6, 2019The Rainbow Theatre Project's BLUE CAMP is ready for a wider audience. Tucked in a corner of Saint Augustine's Episcopal Church in SW DC is a compelling story of young men quietly taking a stand for equality.
BWW Review: A WINTER'S TALE at The Wheel Theatre CompanyOctober 7, 2019Grand sets and spectacle draw crowds, but the basis of all great theater is human connection and that can be born from sparsity. The Wheel Theatre Company's highly affordable presentation of William Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale is a perfect reminder that authentic theatrical experiences occur wherever passionate players gather.
BWW Review: GAVIN CREEL at The Kennedy CenterOctober 4, 2019When I told my friends that I was going to see Gavin Creel's show, guys and girls alike had the same response: a?oeHe is my ultimate Broadway boyfriend.a?? If you have the same affinity for the Tony Award winner, his solo concert is the night you've been dreaming of.
BWW Interview: Spenser Micetich of FINDING NEVERLAND at National TheatreFebruary 25, 2019In a city that is often associated with cynicism, you may soon feel a little fairy dust sprinkled over town. FINDING NEVERLAND is flying into the National Theatre in Washington DC this week, stoking our childlike wonder that can be easily lost in the daily grind. The musical, based on the Academy Award-winning film, spins a fantasy blending the real life of author J.M. Barrie and his most famous production, PETER PAN. Spenser Micetich stars as Mr. Cromer, a member of the Duke of York Theatre troupe acting in Barrie's latest play.
BWW Review: KLEPTOCRACY at ARENA STAGEJanuary 27, 2019When I moved to Washington years ago, my friends would always ask me, 'Is DC just like House of Cards?' I was always regretful to disappoint them, but would have to reply, 'Well, we're not quite at the point of pushing people in front of trains without consequences, but…have you see Veep?'
BWW Review: SCHOOL OF ROCK THE MUSICAL at National TheatreJanuary 19, 2019Every kid with a performer's heart deserves to experience three things in their childhood: access to an incredible arts program, a passionate mentor, and a really great Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. For me, that was the Springfield (Missouri) Little Theatre, Beth D., and The Phantom of the Opera. I wish for all of today's youth to find the arts and an inspiring mentor. As for Webber for this generation, there is School of Rock The Musical, which actually touches on all of the above. The tour is visiting the National Theatre in Washington, DC this month and packs the biggest dreams and highest professionalism into the tiniest bodies.
