The show is called “Endless Memories” and that’s exactly what Miss Diana Ross gave us. She sang almost every song we wanted hear. And there weren’t any Motown medleys stuck in the middle or at the end of the program. We got a lot of the Motown hits – the entire versions of the songs […]
Sometime last year, Mrs. Devereaux told me about The Secret City, best described as an art church (their tagline is “we worship art”). Her friend was in the chorus and I attended two performances in early spring (which I reviewed here and here). I was fascinated. All sorts of art were showcased – performance, visual, […]
I was excited to see Cory Branan for a second time in one week and was hoping that it would be a bigger crowd this time since it was at Rough Trade in Williamsburg. I got there just as the doors opened and this time I brought a magazine. I sat just outside the doors […]
I’m going to go out of order again to post this recent show since I’m going to see the same artists again tonight and there was a new (to me) artist that I’m excited about. Hopefully this week I will get back to the winter shows I haven’t written up yet. Garcia’s is the bar […]
This was another great show with a perfect cast. This time it was an evening performance and rtb and Mrs. Devereaux were joining me. When we got to the mezzanine section of the Golden Theatre both rtb and Mrs. Devereaux were told by the first usher that we might be able to move further down […]
My next Wednesday matinee was by another favorite playwright of mine – Arthur Miller. And the play was one of his that I wasn’t familiar with. The Price is a Roundabout Theatre Company production at the American Airlines Theatre, where I saw Long Day’s Journey into Night last May. I was again sitting in the […]
This is making me a little twitchy but I thought I’d write up the three plays I saw recently before I continue writing up the concerts I saw this year. The first one is Noël Coward’s Present Laughter at the St. James Theatre starring Kevin Kline. I love both Coward and Kline and this was […]
It was only January but this was ramping up to be the show of the year. Music producer Jesse Lauter and City Winery’s head talent booker Hannah Gold got a lot of New York indie artists and singer/songwriters together for one evening that was all about Leonard Cohen. All ticket sales went to the Preemptive […]
The Replacements is one of my favorite bands. Not surprisingly, many of my current favorite bands cite The Mats as an influence and I can hear The Mats in their sound. Years ago when I saw Tommy Stinson’s Bash & Pop (Friday Night is Killing Me) after The Replacements broke up, I was surprised at […]
The last review I wrote was back in December 2016. Since then I’ve seen many concerts but haven’t written them up. Why? I’m not sure. Continuing depression since the November election and the then upcoming inauguration? Probably. Difficulty sitting and writing – that constant nagging voice that what I write is never good enough? Probably. […]
