Review: REMEMBER JONES: JONES SINGS JONES Brings Retro Back at City Winery
by Greg Kerestan - February 03, 2025
Remember Jones is funny, but he isn't a joke. There's a knowing kitsch value to the cabaret artist turned rock revue revivalist's stage presence: he looks like Elton John, dresses like Liberace and sings like Joe Cocker, on a stage full of bandstands and matching-jacketed musicians. But this isn't a...
Review: LIFE OF PI Is Existentialist Magic at Benedum Center
by Greg Kerestan - January 30, 2025
In some ways, Lolita Chakrabarti's Life of Pi, adapted from the novel by Yann Martel and directed by Max Webster, can feel like a grown-up version of the puppet-heavy visual multimedia spectacles often seen in high-end children's theatre....
Review: A SHERLOCK CAROL Blends Dickens and Doyle at Kinetic Theatre
by Greg Kerestan - December 18, 2024
It has long been posited that Sherlock Holmes is difficult to adapt well, because the nature of Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Universe' is so fragmented.

Review: FRONT PORCH CABARET Sings the Hits at Front Porch Theatricals
by Greg Kerestan - December 04, 2024
I keep saying it and it keeps being true: it doesn't really matter what Front Porch announces for their season, because 'Front Porch Presents' is a strong enough endorsement on its own.

by Greg Kerestan - November 11, 2024

Review: POTUS Brings Serious Laughs to Serious Issues at City Theatre
by Greg Kerestan - October 02, 2024
City Theatre's brand, the last decade or so, has often been less is more. Tiny casts, simple sets, show don't tell, but also don't show. The last two or three seasons have included an increased focus on immersive unit sets, but the principle still stood... not anymore, though....
