  4. Looking ahead to the Tony Awards: An off year for musicals, but 'Once' deserves to win

    <strong>NEW YORK &mdash;</strong> What with "Ghost,""Lysistrata Jones" and other wearying disappointments, the 2012-13 Broadway season hardly will go down as a banner year for new American musicals. Indeed, should the best-musical Tony Award go, at Sunday night's ceremony, to a show other than "Once" or "Newsies" &mdash; the only remotely viable candidates for this most important of theatrical honors &mdash; the theater chatterati will be speechless and Tweetless. For a couple of seconds.

    Well, sing hallelujah for a new, fresh, first-class Equity tour, which is about as rare these days as murder witnesses hiding out in convents when the sisters are just dying to be taught to love the night life, the boogie, the disco raa-ound. Wait. The...

  7. BROADWAY REVIEW: Audience subscribes to 'Newsies' charms

    <span class="dateline" style="text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">NEW YORK &mdash;</span>There is something uniquely appealing, entertainment history reveals, about urban urchins in cloth caps, be they Parisian waifs, London pickpockets or unflaggingly optimistic New York orphans. If they sing and dance and have lost a parent or two, all the better. And if they sell newspapers for a living? Then they become fresher-faced and more empathetic versions of the archetypal ink-stained wretch, battered as these boys are between the mean streets and the selfish scoops of their mercurial bosses, obsessed, then and now, with their declining circulation.

Meanwhile "Clybourne Park," Bruce Norris' prismatic,Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about race and real estate on Chicago's complex North Side closed on the Tony for best play.

    THEATER REVIEW: "Beauty and the Beast" at the Oriental Theatre <img src="/images/star.png"/><img src="/images/star.png"/>&#189 <br>Many Belles wander smiling through the proceedings. With Emily Behny, you feel something is at stake.

    THEATER REVIEW: "Pinocchio" &#9733;&#9733;&#9733; at Chicago Shakespeare Theater<br> Most people wandering down Navy Pier and seeing a little sign for "Pinocchio" would expect a troupe of chirpy, collegiate-level actors performing "Hi Diddle Dee Dee." In this case, that would be a lie.
    Most people wandering down a tourist promenade such as Navy Pier and seeing a little sign advertising a daytime production of "Pinocchio" probably would expect a tawdry troupe of chirpy, collegiate-level actors performing "Hi Diddle Dee Dee" and...
