Review: A FLEA IN HER EAR at Brookfield Theatre
by Sherry Shameer Cohen - March 03, 2025
David Ives’s new version of Georges Feydeau’s farce, A Flea in Her Ear is an ambitious three-act play for any small theater, but the Brookfield Theatre more than rises to it. Named one of the greatest farces ever written, it takes a lot to mount the play. You need a stage large enough to accommodate...

Review: MOON OVER BUFFALO at Music Theatre of Connecticut
by Sherry Shameer Cohen - February 10, 2025
There is no better time than now for Music Theatre of Connecticut’s production of Moon Over Buffalo. Or maybe playwright Ken Ludwig should have called it Loons Over Buffalo. This slapstick comedy is sidesplittingly funny about a fading stage couple who still dream of fame and fortune but are reduced...
