Review
Wynton Marsalis’ Swing Symphony is his third effort in the grand form.
Faye Dunaway has chosen Tea at Five as the vehicle to bring her back to Broadway after a 37-year absence. Would that she had waited a bit longer for a vehicle more worthy of her considerable talents.

A passion for authenticity characterized this mesmerizing program from beginning to end.
