During its super successful West End run, Life of Pi caused quite the stir. Now, having experienced it, I know why. Of all of our many shows this is the one I was most curious to see. This was also the one I had the most trouble finding words to accurately depict the experience. Was it a play? Was it a musical? Will it do justice to one of my most favorite books? How will they bring this epic and fantastical story to life?Continue Reading

Phewph. Just back from a 3 day whirlwind drama (of the finest variety) and fun filled NYC endurance theater jaunt. I was like a drunken sailor on a boat leave, collecting as many “only in NY” moments as I could as if I would be re-boarding my ship for another year and not just back in 2 weeks. I love NYC – really and truly and absolutely because only in NYC…Continue Reading
