Review: COSÍ FAN TUTTE at LA Opera


by Andrew Child - March 10, 2025

Whether thanks to Cavanagh’s approach or director Shawna Lucey’s reinventions, the opera never seems to warrant excuse or apology. Justin Austin and Anthony León never miss a chance for silliness, strutting about the stage with ridiculous levels of machismo to match their preposterous mustache disgu...

Review: AN EVENING WITH JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL at Catalina Jazz Club


by Andrew Child - March 04, 2025

Review: CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND at East West Players


by Evan Henerson - March 02, 2025

Chay Yew’s production for East West Players - improbably the play’s L.A. premiere seven years after its debut at South Coast Repertory – is as raw and raucous as it is timely. Yee urges us to remember the past, be watchful of the future and enjoy the holy hell out of the process....

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Hollywood Pantages


by Evan Henerson - February 28, 2025
