Theater Review – “Gloria” Squanders an Iconic Life

The main problem with Gloria is its expository storytelling. Events are mostly announced and described rather than recreated.

By: Christopher Caggiano Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Christopher Caggiano, Diane Paulus, Gloria: A Life

Theater Review: The Sense of an “Endlings”

The playwright supplies a memorable encounter between young and old in the play’s final scene, but it is too late to compensate for the superficiality of the Pirandello-lite antics that have come before.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Celine Song, Diane Paulus, Endlings

Theater Review: Not So “ExtraOrdinary”

This musical hodgepodge at the American Repertory Theater could be called ‘Let’s Sing About Me (and Me, and Then More About Me).’

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Diane Paulus, ExtraOrdinary, musical

Theater Review: “Jagged Little Pill” — A Relevant and Rocking Brew

In the end, Jagged Little Pill manages to spotlight multiple modern problems while making us care about its characters.

By: Evelyn Rosenthal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Diane Paulus, Jagged Little Pill, musical

Theater Review: Playing “The White Card”

The White Card‘s examination of white philanthropy and racism stays well within the comfort zone.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, ArtsEmerson, Claudia Rankine, Diane Paulus, The White Card

Theater Review: “Burn All Night” — Party Like It’s 1999

Burn all Night is a pretty damp squib coming from one of the country’s major regional theaters.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Andy Mientus, Brett Mose, Burn All Night, Diane Paulus, Jenny Koons, Nick LaGrasta, Van Hughes

Theater Commentary: “Trumpismo avant la lettre” and the Elliot Norton Awards

Hypnotized by celebrity and the monied class, our stage critics have become a gaggle of cheerleaders, feckless enough to call Diane Paulus a “visionary.”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: Diane Paulus, Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence, Elliot-Norton-Awards

Stage Review: In The Body of the World — Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Worlds

This is a rich evening of theater because it takes up social and psychological problems that aren’t ordinarily addressed on our stages.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, cancer, Diane Paulus, Eve Ensler, In the Body of the World, memoir

Theater Review: “Waitress” the Musical — An Enjoyable Slice of Down-Home Self-Discovery

A few quibbles aside, the musical Waitress plays and sounds like it’s close to ready for the Broadway big time.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Adrienne Shelly, American Repertory Theater, Diane Paulus, Jessie Mueller, musical, Sara Bareilles, Waitress

Fuse Theater Review: “The Last Two People on Earth” — Singin’ in the Tsunami

An amiable musical revue about two guys who kick up their heels after global warming finally boils over.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Diane Paulus, Mandy Patinkin, Paul Ford, Susan Stroman, Taylor Mac, The Last Two People on Earth: An Apocalyptic Vaudeville
