Review: Five Stars for JULIE HALSTON TAKES THE Q TRAIN at Birdland

Julie is a diamond cut from the rarest of molds. She’s as terminally unique as Joan Rivers and just as funny. Where others see the mundane, Julie sees the miraculous. She reminds us that life’s absurdities are not just worth noticing but worth celebrating.

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Broadway at The Hobby Center

If you live under a rock or in a remote African village without Facebook, THE BOOK OF MORMON was developed by Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and Robert Lopez. Trey and Matt infamously created the SOUTH PARK animated series, and Robert Lopez helped conceive the puppet comedy AVENUE Q. They took eight years to develop this one (small workshops that progressively grew larger), which finally opened on Broadway in 2011, launching the careers of Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad.
