BWW Review: New York City Opera Returns With A Princely CANDIDE
The opening fanfare of one of the most exhilarating overtures ever to hit Broadway signals the joyous return of New York City Opera.

BWW Reviews: A Pony's Debut and Two Little Prodigies Steal the Show at NEW YORK CITY BALLET

However, I can't resist starting with the two most endearing and unforgettable moments of the evening. First, a pair of prodigiously talented little girls danced with astonishing precision and panache as the Pearly Princesses in Balanchine's "Union Jack". Kudos to Natalie Glassie and Phoebe Golfinos who are surely headed for stellar careers if the promise they showed that night does indeed come to full flower.

Review - On The Town: Subways Are For Seeking
Penned by a pair of downtown revue writers (Betty Comden and Adolph Green), composed by a wunderkind New York Philharmonic conductor (Leonard Bernstein), choreographed by a Ballet Theatre soloist (Jerome Robbins) and originally directed by musical comedy master George Abbott, there's never been a musical on Broadway that mixes highbrow and lowbrow with such a wondrous cacophonous clash as On The Town.
