Theater Review: “Miss You Like Hell” — A Lukewarm Road Trip

Theater Review: “Miss You Like Hell” — A Lukewarm Road Trip

This is yet another sentimental exercise in the mechanics of mother/daughter rapprochement

Fuse Theater Review: “RoosevElvis” — Antic Americana

Fuse Theater Review: “RoosevElvis” — Antic Americana

RoosevElvis turns out to a sort of slaphappy homage to two American legends, a genial romp that sticks to stereotypes.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Elvis Presley, Oberon, RoosevElvis, the TEAM, Theodore Roosevelt

Theater Review: “Who Would Be King”—A Bible Story Retold, Entertainingly

Theater Review: “Who Would Be King”—A Bible Story Retold, Entertainingly

Liars and Believers have been creating, conceptualizing, and rehearsing this show for eighteen months—and the seasoning has paid off.

Fuse Theater Review: “Ghost Quartet” — Bang the Drum Slowly

The things that go bump in the night are a pretty gooey lot in Ghost Quartet.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Brittian Ashford, Dave Malloy, Gelsey Bell, Ghost Quartet, Ghost Stories, Oberon

Fuse Dance Review: The Bang Group and Elders Ensemble — Grownups

Fuse Dance Review: The Bang Group and Elders Ensemble — Grownups

I wondered why the Elders Ensemble program so consistently portrayed the elders as somber and withdrawn.

Theater Review: “Rain Dogs” — A Humdinger of a Tribute to the Music of Tom Waits

Theater Review: “Rain Dogs” — A Humdinger of a Tribute to the Music of Tom Waits

Having glittery, Bettie Page-y young women clad in leather and thongs undulate to music by Tom Waits is pretty much guaranteed to work.

Theater Feature: Rogue Burlesque — Sex and the Single Nerd

Theater Feature: Rogue Burlesque — Sex and the Single Nerd

Rogue Burlesque will be performing an unfiltered homage to our fixation with nerd culture, from “Weird Al” Yankovic and Superman to Edgar Allan Poe.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Elizabeth Erenberg, Oberon, Rogue Burlesque, Talk Nerdy to M3

Theater Review: Creatures of the Night Throw a Rocking Party

Theater Review: Creatures of the Night Throw a Rocking Party

“The Rocky Horror Show” works best when it is immersive like this—a theatrical party that includes the audience.

By: Alyssa Hall Filed Under: Theater Tagged: Oberon, Ryan Landry, The Gold Dust Opphans, The Rocky Horror Show

Coming Attactions in Theater: October 2011

Coming Attactions in Theater: October 2011

It is encouraging that the list of recommendations for October isn’t filled with musicals. Are straight plays back? I wouldn’t count on it in this economic climate. So let’s bask in the chance to hear words without music.

Coming Attractions in Theater: August 2011

Coming Attractions in Theater: August 2011

A busy month of theater, especially for off-speed, postmodern romances, while old-timers such as the Gershwins and Tennessee Williams receive some attention as well.
