Theater review: FOLLIES
September 17, 2011
My review of Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman’s Follies has just been posted on CultureVulture.net. Check it out here and let me know what you think.
It’s a show that musical theater mavens never tire of seeing, discussing, thinking about, and no wonder — it’s good, substantial stuff. Two surprises in the new Broadway revival: Bernadette Peters is The Weakest Link, and for song-and-dance panache Terri White (below center, as Stella Deems leading “Who’s That Woman?”) pretty much steals the show.

Theater review: LOVE MASTERS
August 19, 2011My review of Erick Paiva-Noguchi’s show Love Masters in the DreamUp Festival at Theater for the New City has just been posted on CultureVulture.net. Merging experimental film and an eclectic music mix with a demonstration of tantric massage, it’s a wacky mixture of performance art and sex show — not exactly successful but certainly fascinating to observe, thanks to the male pulchritude on display (on opening night the “tantric master” Rico Noguchi, below right, focused his ministrations on a handsome “adult film performer” new to me named Antton Harri, below left). Check out my review and let me know what you think.
