Review- Persona Marilyn- LCSD26-10-13

If you’ve had a hard week at work, Persona. Marilyn is not advisable as Friday night entertainment. Luckily I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.

Review-Anna Karenina-Eifman Ballet19-10-13

I've found the new tag line for this production. Anna Karenina: Suicide Has Never Looked So Pretty.

Review-The Flying Dutchman-Opera Hong Kong11-10-13

Before watching this well acknowledged classic, I checked out the plot and was expecting something similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean - a ghost ship damned to roam the high seas til its captain finds a woman who can truly love him.

Review-Starlight Express-Lunchbox Productions6-10-13

I am old enough to have seen the original production at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London; and that production was famous for its extensive racetracks that went all the way around the theatre.

Review-You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown-ACT5-10-13

I’m your typical, passive, Peanuts enthusiast. When I sought out the Comics section of the Sunday paper, its above-the-fold positioning guaranteed a read. Viewings of the Great Pumpkin and Christmas specials book-ended the fourth quarter holiday season of childhood days. Knott’s Berry Farms optioned the Charles Schultz characters as its photogenic park mascots and Joe Cool continues to be an image stamped on every household item from t-shirts to toilet brush holders: a Che Guevara face for middle-of-the-roaders. It’s from this perspective that I arrived at the Friday night showing of “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Review-Frozen-Stylus Productions3-10-13

I was a bit discouraged when the lights dimmed at the beginning of the show and I looked around to see that I could count the number of attendees with two hands and still have spare fingers left. I was also told at the door that the show was two hours long with one ten-minute intermission. I briefly wondered if I would need chewing gum to keep myself awake for the entire performance.
