  1. 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.

    TheatreWorks Florida's production of the&nbsp; Howard Ashman-Alan Menken musical "Little Shop of Horrors" already has enjoyed a successful run at the Garden Theatre, so it's no wonder that it's 90-minute Fringe Festival version chugs along like a well-oiled machine.

  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.
