THE TALES OF PETER RABBIT AND JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK In Concert Comes to Wilton's Music Hall

The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck is a children's concert like no other.

The Gershwins' sublime music and lyrics rescue a show hamstrung by a confused and clumsy book and some very familiar characters.

Cast Announced For STRIKE UP THE BAND Upstairs At The Gatehouse

Director Mark Giesser returns to Upstairs at the Gatehouse with George and Ira Gershwin's madcap musical hidden gem Strike Up The Band, written with George S. Kaufman in 1927. While the original script was rewritten by Morrie Ryskind in 1930, this production presents the original, with the dark satire on America's war-mongering over a trade deal re-established.

BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, St Paul's Church

Iris Theatre's The Tempest at St Paul's Church is an outdoor promenade production of one of Shakespeare's great comedies, though it is fairly traditional in every other way. The audience follows the actors around four different locations during the course of the show: three outdoor and one within St Paul's Church. However, despite this staging, the production feels a bit too predictable and even plain.
