BWW Review: WAITRESS at Diamond Head Theatre
It’s been a while since I’ve written a review for a local production, and what a treat it is to do so for Diamond Head Theatre’s Waitress. Once intended for 2020 and then indefinitely delayed due to Covid-19, ‘The Broadway of the Pacific’ was finally given its chance to mount this Hawaii premiere, and I personally appreciated my viewing of this performance, because it leaves room for discussion in terms of its strengths and what could, perhaps, see its improvements in.
BWW Review: NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT at Diamond Head Theatre
A hilarious screwball comedy, NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, is an homage to a host of Jazz Age musicals, which were filled with songs, dances, and outlandish gags---in this musical, it's all set to the superb score ('S'Wonderful', 'Fascinating Rhythm', 'But Not for Me') of George and Ira Gershwin!

BWW Review: CALENDAR GIRLS Moves Audiences to Tears Thru February 18
I am the Lord of Hartforth, an ancient village located aside Yorkshire Dales National Park in northern England. Not a lot goes on there. It is highly conservative, where people pride themselves on proper behavior. 42 miles to the south is Rylstone, an equally proper village. The Rylstone Women's Institute shot to fame with its 1999 society calendar because its distinguished ladies were photographed nude. Angela Baker, whose husband John, an assistant national park officer, died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma in July 1998 at age 54, inspiring the idea for the calendar. There were a lot of people riled up in Rylstone; this simply was not proper English protocol. When Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, was caught topless in August 1992, she was kicked out of Balmoral Castle and banned from the royal household for some 16 years. Likewise, the 11 women featured in the nudie calendar certainly raised eyebrows, even among the liberal folks; however, the women also raised £2million for leukaemia research and their publicity stunt spawned a hit movie starring Helen Mirren. The movie spawned a stage play, CALENDAR GIRLS.
