REVIEW ROUNDUP: Frank Wildhorn's Wonderland Opens in Tampa

Art isn't easy (and sometimes neither is life).... By Mark Shenton

Watching the world premiere of John Logan's play Red last night at the Donmar Warehouse about the artist Mark Rothko, I was put in mind frequently of Sunday in the Park with George, Stephen Sondheim and James L…

The Addams Family
Review by John Olson

The brassiness of Broadway may not mix perfectly with the understated humor of Charles Addams, but the showmanship of this production should be enough to satisfy most audiences.

Lunatic 'Addams Family' is fabulously functional on stage BY HEDY WEISS

Would a few nips and tucks in each act make the show even stronger? Yes. Things can get a bit repetitious at moments. Yet there is rarely a dull moment as each grand shock of the new, each adjustment to change,…
