‘The Sign of Three’ was a light, but perfectly enjoyable episode of Sherlock. It took a break from the darker arcs the show has been pursuing of late, and delivered a fun adventure instead. Thinking about it, since the end of Season 1, there has been a Moriarty shaped shadow hanging over the show. The […]

I had never seen anything at Wheelock Family Theatre, but I could not think of a better musical than Hairspray as an introduction to WFT’s fine work. I can’t pretend that the production didn’t have its flaws, but, looking around on opening night, I noticed that the audience more than appreciated the production for its […]
This episode of Girls focused on Hannah’s reaction to her editor David’s death and her at least perceived lack of emotional depth.

Starz has had a problem of late, where they announce shows that sound absolutely amazing, but when they actually premiere, they fall miserably flat. It happened last fall with The White Queen, and it happened again this week with Black Sails. It should have been brilliant: a pirate show starring Toby Stephens? Yes please. Stephens […]
SpeakEasy Stage Company presents a moving and thoroughly enjoyable, even grandiose but always heartfelt, production of The Color Purple. Based on the novel by Alice Walker and the hit movie, the musical is an immersive tale of Celie, an “ugly” African-American woman who has enough heartache and troubles for us all, as she journeys from […]
