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

Review: FRONT PORCH CABARET Sings the Hits at Front Porch Theatricals


by Greg Kerestan - December 04, 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....
