Review: HEATHER HEADLEY with the National Symphony Orchestra at Kennedy Center
When summer ends many people get depressed. Let’s face it, you can’t go to the beach or your private summer home for another year. However, you can look on the bright side of things knowing that the end of summer brings a new season of audible brilliance from the mighty National Symphony Orchestra (NSO). This past Saturday evening, the NSO Pops season opened with a bang as Tony Award winning performer Heather Headley made her Kennedy Center Concert Hall debut. The evening featured lots of show tunes, a choir, a TV vocal competition winner, and most importantly, YOUR NSO under the baton of Maestro Steven Reineke.

Review: KIKI BALL-CHANGE: HOE DOWN at Joe's Pub
Kiki is brilliant in every way. I walked in expecting campy Dolly drag, but what I got was parody perfection, endless belly laughs, and a deeply moving experience. This is a must-see show for anyone who loves drag and queer comedy.

Review: Robert Bannon's PRIDE PLAYLIST at 54 Below Is a Celebration!
Robert is a party and always has a genuine smile on his face, as if, in his own impish way, he is inviting anyone with joy in their hearts to join him. I will say, there is one major flaw with every Robert Bannon show, at least the two I’ve seen: they aren’t long enough!

Review: Celia Berk's A DREAM AND A SONG at The Laurie Beechman Theatre is a triumph!
Sullivan's work is tailor-made for an instrument as pure and nuanced as Berk’s voice. The May 12th show was phenomenal.

Review: SHINING IN MISERY at 54 Below Shines!
The madcap adventure took us on a tour de force celebration of some of Stephen King’s most beloved characters, brimming with so many references that even the biggest King aficionado would have their work cut out for them. And it’s not only King who earns the honor of a parody—no musical theatre show or pop culture icon was safe!

Review: John Cameron Mitchell and Amber Martin's CASSETTE ROULETTE at Joe's Pub Is a Winner!
When the charismatic bartender at Joe’s Pub takes it upon himself to kick off the evening with an unprompted “I've seen this show three times. It's unbelievable,” you just know you're in for an extraordinary experience. And let me assure you, he wasn't exaggerating. It's not just great; it's freakin' awesome.

Review: David Dean Bottrell Teaches A Master Class In Storytelling With THE DEATH OF ME YET at Pangea
If I were to ask a hundred people, 'Who wants to attend an eighty-minute show about death?' I'm reasonably certain that at least ninety-percent would say, “I’m busy!' In most instances, those ninety percent would have saved themselves from a dull evening. However, in the unique case of David Dean Bottrell, they would have been dead wrong.

Review: MARK NADLER'S CRAZY 1961 Strikes All The Right Chords at The Laurie Beechman Theatre
There are people who entertain, and then there are those destined to take the stage. Mark Nadler is undeniably the latter. His show, 'Mark Nadler, Crazy 1961,’ is a testament to his innate talent, making him one of the most outstanding (and ‘Crazy’) figures to emerge from that remarkable year.
