"He is truly an odd duck.  I always try to watch when he's on a late night talk show, mainly because he's so unpredictable.  Do you think he was "in character" for this show you saw?  How does that differ from…"

"Glad you used this opportunity to compare the 2 Drews!  And I too thought Lonny was going for a Jack Black thing.  You do a nice job couching your criticisms in disappoint rather than disdain.  Really strong opening which gave the…"

Rock of Ages: Not Talkin' About the New Arby's

An equally fitting title for Rock of Ages would’ve been That’s-What-She-Said: The Musical. Indeed, the humor and the nature of the show, with it’s G-strings and liberal use of the word “balls”, is anything but high-brow.  You’ve got to suspend disbelief (and to some degree, your moral compass and intelligence) in order to enjoy it. The Les Miserables sect of the Broadway empire need not inquire further, unless if they’re ready to hate themselves for loving this show.Rock of Ages gives the…See More

You Can't Teach an Old Dog to Not Eat His Own Poop Jokes (An R-Rated Review)

Last night, Lydia and I were in the city to see Tracy Morgan's "Pardon My French". What we saw was Tracy far gone. We were lucky to be there, because another friend of mine couldn't make it. She had planned to sit through the standup sitting beside her father, however, I assured her that would've been death by mortification. Here's why: Mr. Morgan loudly impersonated a female masturbating to Billy Joel.Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the 30 Rock persuasion, Tracy Morgan was utterly unfettered last…See More

FLASHDANCE: You Can’t REALLY Have It All, but...

“First, when there’s nothing, but a slow glowing dream...”At the prompt of Irene Cara’s heroic voice, my mom takes in a deep Ujjayi breath, from the bottom of her soul. She can feel her well-worn leg warmers against her shins, as she begins a series of ballistic stretches. Her worldly instructor, enlightened by her experiences in African dance, calls out the name of each exercise. This is the warm-up routine she remembers so clearly. This is the warm up being reenacted for my sister and I, in…See More

Strongest Suit - Setting "Aida" in New Fashion

"Another great video review! I like that you head the sections of your review with the titles of songs from Aida. Interesting take that the production "makes the audience do some of the work." Very good points about diversity, Disney,…"

More Than Just Dead Kangaroos - An Unscripted Review of Broadway's "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

"I really like this video review. You did a nice job with the improvised interview, and including Ben was a good idea (especially because he was willing to be dressed up and dance around---I want him to be my friend). I like that you took a bit of a…"

More Than Just Dead Kangaroos - An Unscripted Review of Broadway's "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

"This is a fun idea.  I always get a kick out of your tone in the video pieces.  My favorite moment is the dancing at the end with Ben in makeup and a headband!  Even at 8 minutes, it's all very entertaining. So, let me ask you,…"

Who's On First - Slutty Yankees

"Love the trench and groovy sunglasses and the costume change later. I also like the inner monologue stuff with you "watching" the show!  Sound issues?  I enjoyed the soundtrack in the background. And the lipsynching!…"
