"Swan Lake"

Michael Pink`s interpretation of "Swan Lake" is at times joyful, at times melancholic, but always physically sublime.

"Catch Me If You Can"

Published Wednesday, April 24

The music is big, the costumes are flashy and the dancing is arresting in this lavish production that runs at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts through Sunday, April 28. But glamor is only half of Abagnale`s story. The other half is despair. And the musical version of "Catch Me If You Can" captures that well - maybe even better than the movie did.

New Marcus Center season

Published Friday, April 19

The world can definitely use a good song and dance this week. That`s why it was so refreshing to attend last night`s preview of the the 2013-14 Broadway Across America season at the Marcus Center. The line-up is a nice mix of old favorites and new shows, and I smell a few blockbusters in there, so you might want to buy your tickets early if something strikes your fancy.

"Sister Act"

Sister Act is a one-joke show. Take a black woman who can both walk the walk and talk the talk, and put her with a group of mostly white, sheltered nuns and see what happens. What happens is funny.

"Memphis"

Published Wednesday, Jan. 9

It doesn`t take long for the cast of "Memphis" to let you know what the show is all about. Almost the very first lyrics sung by the smooth-talking Delray set the whole evening up clearly. From that point on the Tony Award-winning musical "Memphis," which opened a week-long run last night at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, gets under your skin and into your blood in the way few plays, much less musicals, ever do.
