Musical theatre lovers who like their leading characters emotionally aloof and commitment-phobic can now enjoy a worthy companion piece to the upcoming revival of <i>Company</i>. <i>Mary Poppins</i> has flown into town in a ravishing production that kicks all that sentimental nonsense about familial closeness into the wings and pushes the heartwarming thrills of good ol' fashioned music hall song and dance fun downstage center.

Twyla Tharp's Bob Dylan ballet is a sweet and frisky show with a lot of heart, a touch of danger, and some terrific performances

A.R. Gurney's new comedy, set in the near future, is about the discovery of a lost play by an obscure writer named A.R. Gurney

For those very cultured New York theatre-goers who felt last season's Martin McDonagh bloodbath <i>The Lieutenant of Inishmore</i> wasn't quite graphically violent enough to satisfy their very refined tastes, might I suggest an evening at the latest offering to grace the Off-Broadway stage, <i>Evil Dead: The Musical</i>.
