BWW Review: EMOJILAND at NYMF Maintains Relatable Themes Without Taking Itself Too Seriously
With a title like 'Emojiland' and an aesthetic that drips with millennial energy, I admit I wasn't expecting much from the musical, which opened at the New York Musical Festival last week (on World Emoji Day, no less). What I was greeted with was two hours of fun, catchy songs, immeasurable talent and an existential (or, should I say, 'textistential') plot that made me think way more deeply than I had planned to.

Review: THE ART COUPLE Cleverly Re-Imagines Two Very Different Odd Couples
Long before Felix met Oscar, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin were ill-fitting roommates in the south of France, which turned out to be a fateful co-habitation that changed the face of art - as well as Van Gogh's face! Playwright Brendan Hunt cleverly re-imagines these two art masters as the subjects of Neil Simon's original draft of The Odd Couple, which Hunt presents as being co-written with yet another of the oddest couples possible - Sam Shepard, here introduced as Steve, an oddball busboy looking for his first big break.
