Space Chimps
Review By LAEL LOEWENSTEIN

Fox's relatively under-the-radar toon is a fairly fatuous but enjoyably slim family entertainment about three chimps dispatched to retrieve a multibillion-dollar intergalactic probe. Without the massive promo p…

WORD OF MOUTH: Did Cirque Dreams Dazzle Matt, Susan & Hillary?

Crave and Somewhere in the Pacific
Review by Aaron Riccio

The unrelenting presence of poetic grief makes Crave a triumph; the absence of real grief just makes Somewhere sad.

Scenes from an Execution
Review by Helen Shaw

It may sting a bit to hear home truths about expediency and art, but trust me, having no Barker is worse than his bite.

The Be(a)st of Taylor Mac
Review by Raven Snook

Once you fall for splendiferous drag artist Taylor Mac, you'll go anywhere with him.

The Marriage of Bette and Boo
Review by Helen Shaw

Durang is our piss-taker laureate of the institutions that screw us up: religion, therapy, the universal affliction of having a family.

Damn Yankees
Review by Adam Feldman

This Golden Age trophy, carefully dusted off, proves less shiny than one might have imagined.

Kicking a Dead Horse
Review by David Cote

There's a whiff of contrived narcissism about the project, which features an impeccable, finely shaded performance by Stephen Rea as Hobart Struther.

They sing, they dance, they aim to shoot a president By Louise Kennedy

Shakespeare Alfresco Brings Midsummer Magic to Dairy Country
Commentary by John F. Wasik

King Henry is outnumbered By David Ng

David Denman marches to Agincourt as Shakespeare's brave king, but the cast's antics steal the show.

'EAST' GOES SOUTH By FRANK SCHECK (**)

DON Reed's autobiographical monologue is subtitled "True Tales of a Reluctant Player," but his performance is anything but.

Scramble!
Review By FRANK RIZZO

But in trying his hand at this in extremis comedy, Wiltse's craft fails him, and the production brings more cringes than chuckles.

Expatriate
Reviewed by: Patrick Lee

Despite some fine writing and music, Lenelle Moise's two-hander about a lifelong friendship lacks dramatic momentum.

Expatriate - Reviewed by GWEN OREL

Lenelle Moïse's music has a beat that gets under your skin, fascinating rhythm, and real theatrical power. It's new. Expatriate, however, written and composed by Moïse, recounts familiar stories.

GREAT DEPTH OF CHARACTERS By FRANK SCHECK (***)

Yet as standard as those plot elements are, "Expatriate" delivers them in a freshly imaginative style.

Expatriate
Review By MARK BLANKENSHIP

By refusing to land somewhere safe, the show makes fresh statements on common themes like celebrity, excess and art.

Hitting Botton By Ben Brantley

I was very sad when the armed intruder put a gag in Eileen Atkins's mouth on Wednesday night.

Bed and Breakfast - Reviewed by MARC MILLER

"Bed and Breakfast" craves to be nothing more than a friendly boulevard comedy, an assemblage of pleasant gay personalities rather like, say, "The Last Sunday in June" of a few seasons back. But its characters …

Daguerreotypes - Reviewed by MARK PEIKERT

At almost two hours, "Daguerreotypes" is a punishingly long time to sit in the Where Eagles Dare Theatre's wicker seats and unfortunately not quite worth the red lines your skin will accrue.

Flies in the Snuffbox - Reviewed by ROBERT WINDELER

Three outstanding performances - one in each of the three one-act Chekhov plays that make up this bill - almost but not quite redeem the enterprise.

Cherry Hill- Reviewed by RONNI REICH

To call "Cherry Hill" tasteless is to miss the point, but the dark comedy tries too hard to be all at once edgy, cute, and insightful and instead falls flat.

Eighty-1 - Reviewed by ROBERT WINDELER

Six strong singers and some worthy songs by Clive Chang are the plus factors in this world premiere of an 81-minute musical (no coincidence, that).

Eighty-1 and Cherry Hill
Reviews by Matthew Murray

My, Oh Mia! By: Joseph Marzullo; Text by Brian Scott Lipton

Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Rita Wilson, Jane Seymour, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Louise Pitre come out for the New York premiere of the film Mam…

LIZ SMITH

Streep is the dancing and singing queen in 'Mamma Mia!'

Mamma Mia! (*** out of four) is worth the ticket price just to see her belt it out, jump up and down on a bed, dance in platform shoes and slide down a banister.

Mamma Mia!
Reviewed by: Leslie (Hoban) Blake

The film version of the long-running stage musical is the perfect summer movie!
