I am going to be brief, Scream Queens is garbage. Queens was created by Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story), Brad Falchuk (Glee), and Ian Brennan (Glee). The show starts in 1995 with a young woman giving birth in a tub at a sorority house. When her sisters find her bloody in the tub, they […]
The premise of Blindspot reads like a bad soap opera meets buddy cop show. To summarize: Girl wakes up with a case of amnesia and hundreds of newly inked tattoos covering her body. One of said tattoos reads the name of an FBI agent and suddenly girl meets boy. Boy is immediately in charge of […]
An original British musical is something of a rarity in London theatre, with juke box shows and film adaptations dominating the West End, but luckily we have a thriving fringe circuit that is willing to take risks on such shows, as the Union Theatre has done with ‘The White Feather’.

Two moderate highpoints of the 2015 Stratford season, Possible Worlds & The Physicists are both works of thematic ambition with refreshing visual flair.

Tomlin was a voice of a generation for female comedians; she was bold and brash and led the charge to be one of the most revered women in comedy. There are many women today who are emulating her style- like Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler- but it’s nice to see the real Lily […]
Three singers, two pianists, and a whole lot of Sondheim—a thoroughly enjoyable evening by the AC Group for the avid or even casual fan of the great lyricist/composer, though this charming production is unlikely to convert any sceptics of his extensive catalogue. Quite remarkably, ‘Side by Side by Sondheim’ was first performed over 40 years […]
I really wanted to like Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris, and I haven’t given up on it yet, but I found the pilot to be pretty disappointing. Because it was so high energy with a lot of big ideas, I think they’ll work out the kinks, but some of the segments just didn’t […]
