The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee. It's been a while since I've seen a musical that starts with an overture; they always remind me of My Fair Lady or Oklahoma... the way one song melds into another and gives you a preview of what you're about to hear.  It's a little like starting a speech off with a joke: you get the audience in a good mood and pull them into your world slowly.

The Fab Marquee review by Diánna Martin. As the lights come up in Antoine O Flatharta's drama Blood Guilty, we are introduced to Pat (Vincent Dowling) and Dan (Christopher Joseph Jones), whose home life is the stuff reminiscent of the Collier Brothers and Grey Gardens. Time seems to have stopped in the cluttered house. Dan, who appears feeble-minded, but we later find is simply blind,

The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee. If you're lucky, when you get to 59E59 Theaters to see Luck you'll get to sit at one of the VIP tables up front - they've got the best view, the best table clothes and the best interaction with the star, or "hostess".

The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee. Growing up can be rough; it's hard to leave behind all the wonderful, fanciful, joyous things than make up childhood and navigate the more somber realm of adulthood. But if you keep that little child inside you alive, and let them out every now and then to play, you're sure to reap the benefits of giving in to your more whimsical side. This is

The Fab Marquee review by David Stallings. It is always a pleasure to see great scripts brought to life on the stage, especially when it is something so simple and yet so theatrical as a one-man show.  Of course the script, Conner McPherson’s, the good thief, now playing at The Player’s Loft as part of the First Irish Festival’s current line-up, is not new to NYC—but is a refreshing escape from

The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee. In The Daylight (by Tony Glazer, directed by John Gould Rubin) is an ironic title, or a conclusive one, or perhaps even a hopeful one.  Because the last thing you get with this play is one shred of hopeful daylight; this is as noir a plot as any written by Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler, right down to the rapid-fire dialogue and the "it was a

The Fab Marquee review by Diánna Martin. Family dysfunction comes in all shapes and sizes, from all cultures. However, something can be definitely be said for the type of relationships that are cultivated in an Irish-American household that includes drinking and physical abuse. Siblings can either stick together to keep secrets or escape to other sides of the country - or the world - as they

Virtually everyone throws around "depressed" on a daily basis with nary a care, and when you hear someone is bi-polar, well, they're just a bit moody. Aren't we all?

The Fab Marquee review by David Stallings.Something quite unique and special is happening in theatre this week—and it is not in the Fringe Festival. If New York is looking for an avant-guarde theatrical experience for the senses, it only has one more week to discover it. Jeremy Bloom’s production of Leaves of Grass is an eloquent, tasteful, work of art on display for a short time only.

Once described obscene for its overt sexuality, Walt Whitman's collection of poems in Leaves of Grass takes on new life through a naked, dance-inspired adaptation. Conceived and directed by Jeremy Bloom (The Wendy Complex), Leaves of Grass features a diverse, unclothed cast of over 20 performers rhythmically chanting Whitman's most groundbreaking poems including "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body

The Fab Marquee review by Antonio Minino.First thing you notice while taking in the set of David Hansen's autobiographical one-man show, is the three pairs of shoes you should never run a marathon with--already clues that we are in for some great anecdotes regarding his training for this quest of olympian proportions.In an open hearted and earnest performance, Hansen recounts his unsatisfied

The Fab Marquee review by Diánna Martin.Ever see a show that you just can't get out of your head? Its emotional and psychological residue remains with you for hours, if not days, after you left the show? That is the experience I had when I went to see Eli and Cheryl Jump presented by Ignited States and directed by Nicole A. Watson. I literally could not get the characters out of my mind

The Fab Marquee review by Diánna Martin. Enzo Lombard's Love, Humiliation, & Karaoke is a one-man show that takes the audience through the life and times of a gay HIV positive man who is trying to believe that love still exists - despite the odds that his life thus far has taught him. One  of the things that makes this show unique among one-man performances is the personal nature of it; for not

The Fab Marquee Interview by Antonio Minino.In the entertainment world, specially and specifically in Off-Off Broadway theatre, you will find that artists work in all aspects of the craft. Whether it is a desire to experiment with their creativity in different ways, or more of a "step up to the plate" situation, this practice is not uncommon. When all the hats are worn by one person in the same

The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee.This past year everywhere I turned I kept hearing "Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind". I saw cards for it in theaters I went to.

And finally, I heard it nominated (for Outstanding Ensemble as well as for Outstanding Performance Art Production) when I covered the New York IT Awards a

The Fab Marquee review by Karen Tortora-Lee.Benny (written by Suzanne Bachner and directed by Trish Minskoff) may have a cast of five but don't let anyone fool you, this production belongs entirely to Morgan Lindsey Tachco who embodies the title role...although the main character is actually named Anna. Benny plays more like a one woman show; and while everyone in the cast does a superlative job

The Fab Marquee review by David Stallings.The early sixties are remembered fondly for innocent sex comedies that toyed with the changing roles of men and women and how they interacted as societal values shifted. At the top of the list sits Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park (the longest running of his numerous hit plays). The play is definitely a period piece by today’s standards but

The Fab Marquee review by Dianna Martin.I have to give playwright Brian Dykstras credit for creating a fantastic "what if" situation in the Nicu's Spoon's production of Hiding Behind Comets, a play about how the Jonestown Massacre, which occurred 30 years ago, effects three 20-somethings in a rural part of America.

The Neighborbee review by Karen Tortora-Lee. Going to see The Temperamentals at the end of Pride Month was as deeply stirring as watching a reenactment of the signing of the declaration of independence on July 4th, if not more so. Because, while the history of how America fought and won its independence is a story that is well worn, the story of how, long before the Stonewall Riots, a

The Fab Marquee Out-Broadway by Cody Daigle.When you're living in a part of the country that's isolated from a theatre center (which, to be fair, is most of the country), The Tony Awards telecast serves as one of the few tangible connections to the world of Real Theatre – the kind that doesn't involve your dermatologist taking a desperate stab at plumbing the depths of Willy Loman.It's a lifeline

The Fab Marquee review by Peyton Wise.Dr. C (Or How I Learned to Act in Eight Steps) is a revelation for theatre professionals.

The Fab Marquee review by David Stallings. Neil LaBute has been on the tip of most people’s tongue for over a decade now.

The Fab Marquee review by David Stallings.It is always exciting to see theatre written by foreign playwrights working outside of the US. Oftentimes, there is more freedom in their work, and the structure is less tied to traditional storytelling. Partly this is due to the fact that theatre is seen as a true art outside of the US, whereas here, we are forced to think in terms of business and
