  • From Massachusetts: Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and Fall in Like

    3 weeks ago | nystagereview.com | Bob Verini

    New York and points west should keep an eye out for this sparkling two-hander, a romantic musical comedy from England, because it’s going to get around and could build a phalanx of fans.

  • As Star, Director and EP of 'Will Trent,' Ramón Rodríguez Transforms the Procedural Genre With Emotional Storytelling and Unique POV

    3 weeks ago | variety.com | Bob Verini

    Over three seasons, ABC’s “Will Trent” has staked a claim as one of television’s all-time best cops-and-crime series. Critics, and increasingly larger audiences each year, have praised the show’s uniquely smoky mixture of atmosphere, character, humor and action, revolving around a crack investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation with intriguing personal quirks and a mysterious past.

  • Stranger Things–The First Shadow: We Will Control The Horizontal - New York Stage Review

    2 months ago | nystagereview.com | Bob Verini

    Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a trap for snobs. A goodly number may start out with the assumption that the prequel to a Netflix series, one tailored to and featuring teenagers (I can hear the Eustace Tilleys sniff already), and especially one whose stock-in-trade is shock and gore, can’t possibly be executed with artistry, must be schlocky, and will offer nothing in the way of thematic or emotional interest.

    2 months ago | nystagereview.com | Bob Verini

    I’ve seen three past productions of Floyd Collins – the original at Playwrights Horizons some 30 years ago, and two more at regionals – and been gripped and moved at every one. The current mounting at Lincoln Center, with a starry cast and original director Tina Landau, left me restless and cold, and I think I know why. It’s the venue. Some background.

  • Boop!: Betty Brightens Broadway, But....

    2 months ago | nystagereview.com | Bob Verini

    No expense has evidently been spared to enable Boop! to take Max Fleischer’s iconic Jazz Age flapper – complete with plucky mien, va-va-voom figure and squeaky baby voice – out of the black-and-white silent era into a splashily colorful 2025, the aim to create joy unconfined right up to the follow-the-bouncing-ball singalong finale. Marshaled by director-choreographer Jerry Mitchell, talent is everywhere you look, and decent songs are everywhere you listen.
