Since I’ve mentioned some of the U.K.’s counterparts to our favorite shows like Dancing with the Stars ( Strictly Come Dancing ) I thought it might be a good idea to go and see how they do things across the pond.
Who are you, and what have you done with Simon Cowell?
The easiest place to start […]
In the tradition of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, the new David Mamet play, November, is set just a few days before a presidential election. While having the site be a pseudo-official campaign site, complete with “Vote Now!” buttons, it’s also very entertaining. You also don’t have to watch too much to be […]
Just gotta gush a little here: a while back I mentioned that my girlfriend is singing lead in a lesbian musical called PULP put on by StageQ.
Well, the excellent writers over at Dane101.com have gone to the musical and have given their own review. And with apologies to my content editor, who hates it when […]
Just a note of admiration: in spite of what must have been crushing news (their founder, Gus Giordano, died on Sunday) the Giordano Dance troupe got rave reviews from Hedy Weiss in the Chicago Sun-Times. It’s a tribute to the professionalism of the performers and the ethics he instilled in them that they kick off […]
I’ve been coming across mentions of this play for the past couple of weeks here and there, always with the same gist to the comments: This is something new, something different; this ain’t your Momma’s Broadway musical. Then today I read in the Gothamist: “…an irresistible, cross-genre score, warm hearted humor, inspired staging and a […]
I confess, I have as much trouble as anyone taking seriously someone named P Diddy - but Sean Combs seems to be the king of re-invention, going from rapper to clothing designer to yes, Broadway actor.
In 2004 he starred in the revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s classic, Raisin in the Sun, which garnered Tony awards for […]
What would I do without loyal readers to point out to me the error of my ways (or, at least, my writing):
Danica’s not the first.
“…actually, Janet Guthrie was the first woman to compete in Indy car races, back in the 1970s. See: http://www.janetguthrie.com/biofr.htm”
Thanks, Sandy, for pointing that out. My daughter and I talked about […]
It’s getting scary.
I was fine - excited, even - when the Lion King came out. Even though it took until last month for me to actually see it, the fact that it was directed and designed by Julie Taymor was more than enough to make me forgive Disney for taking a cartoon and using up […]
Happy President’s Day!
Tomorrow is the primary in my home state, and I’ll be honest: I hope that this post doesn’t sway anyone one way or another in terms of who they choose to vote for. I know who I’m voting for, and why, and none of the issues which sway that decision have anything […]
Ok, so I’m actually only going to be writing about the first part of that headline. But it’s catchy, isn’t it? Last Sunday was one of the biggest sporting events ever - I’m talking, of course, about the Wisconsin State Cheerleading Competition, where my youngest daughter Danny, a junior at East High School, would be […]
