Only Human
Poor Only Human. It has so much potential and it's such a mess. It attempts to be The Office in Heaven but instead manages to have more plot-holes than the Matrix trilogy.…
Seared
It's a pretty universal experience to work with a huge asshole who is unfortunately great at their job; Seared captures this experience perfectly.…
Freestyle Love Supreme
So what is it? Freestyle Love Supreme is an improv comedy show staring the friends of Lin Manuel Miranda. Every night different members of a rotating group take the stage. I didn't get to see Lin Manuel, but I did get to see Wayne Brady, James Monroe Iglehart, and Chris Jackson.…
Little Shop of Horrors
It's clear from the onset we're in for a good time; The show itself is kitschy, but it works. It has everything. A big name star (Groff), music by Alan Menkin, and an outrageous sci-fi plot. I really enjoyed the intersection of classic Disney-style music with a story about a man-eating plant.…

Sir Ian McKellen
When booking my trip to London I was looking to see a uniquely British show. I was delighted to discover that Ian McKellen was performing an 16 weeks only intimate show at the Harold Pinter theater.…

Betrayal
Betrayal follows the affair of Emma (Zawe Ashton) and Jerry (Charlie Cox). Emma is married to Jerry’s close friend, Robert (Tom Hiddleston).…
Moulin Rouge
It’s official, I’m a snob. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see Moulin Rouge at the Al Hirschfeld Theater theater on Broadway. I liked it a lot, in fact I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I don’t think I respect it. Can I say that?…
Hercules in the Park
Bless my soul, the Public is on a role. After two successful Shakespeare productions in the Park, the Public Theater decided to raise the bar with Hercules.…
