This revival of Ragtime comes pretty close to duplicating the opulence of the original. And the actors bring big voices and powerful acting to the proceedings.

Lyrics and Lyricists at the 92nd Street Y has come up with a fitting tribute to Ira Gershwin and the songs he wrote after his brother George died.

The all-male Propeller Company has given us a production of The Merchant of Venice that's all speed and conviction. For the most part, it's played with brutal force and unyielding fervor.

The desire is extra thick in this excellent revival of Desire Under the Elms.

Sherie Rene Scott is absolutely hilarious in her 90- minute  autobiography show Everyday Rapture. It's a send-up of one-person shows, but there's also a serious side to the proceedings.

Best check the guest list before signing on for this (non)dramatic marathon

An excellent revival of an often misunderstood play. Thank the cast for an effective and enjoyable time at the theater.

There's a good play in here somewhere. Can Craig Lucas find it?

This is a musical that tries too hard to please. Yes, the tunes are perky and the leading ladies likable. But that old adage that less is more should have been heeded.

Sad to say, this revival is a mouthful of "d's": dreay, dull, and frankly, pretty dreadful.
