  1. Second thoughts on 'The Addams Family'

    "The Addams Family" seemed to have everything going for it when the musical opened on Broadway two years ago: a book by the creators of the mega-hit "Jersey Boys"; two exceedingly popular stars, Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth; and a title known to trigger fond memories and finger-snaps from any number of people who recall the 1960s sitcom of the same name.

    Searching for his way into the new musical "Backbeat," which examines the Beatles' early days (and nights) in Hamburg, Germany, David Leveaux asked himself what he called "the Jerome Robbins question."

  7. What you should see at Stratford Shakespeare Festival

    STRATFORD, ONTARIO — It's not easy for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival to accommodate the beautiful mess. Its costs and budgets are massive, its theaters imposing — in its current configuration, Tanya Moiseiwitsch's famous Festival Theatre still has more than 1,800 seats — and the weight of auspicious history hangs heavy. Shows must run, in repertory, for up to four months and play well to the theater's passionate group of supporters, many of whom are retirees who journey here from Toronto, Detroit and, in their many thousands, from Chicago, taking in as many as eight different shows in a week, debating what they see fiercely in seminars and on the terraces of bed-and-breakfasts.

  11. National pride, unexpectedly, in 'Henry V' at Stratford Shakespeare Festival

    STRATFORD, ONTARIO &mdash; Of all of William Shakespeare's plays, "Henry V" is the drama most often interpreted as patriotically British. In the 1944 film version, Laurence Olivier used the young king's inspiring St. Crispin's Day speech, with its soaring rhetoric hailing "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers," to inspire his countrymen to fight not against the French forces in the play but against their real-life Nazi foes. But, in this of all summers, when the Union Jack is flying across London hailing the remarkable achievements of British athletes, and when film director Danny Boyle unveiled a new and inclusive celebration of English history as the stunning opener to the Olympic Games, you just don't expect the gigantic flag that the audacious Des McAnuff unfurls at the end of "Henry V," his last Shakespeare production as artistic director of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
