REVIEW- VOLTA -Cirque du Soleil

Posted on February 18, 2019 by

Each Cirque du Soleil is an enjoyable night out to be sure and each that I’ve experienced so far (6 or 7 by now) typically contains many essential cirque components. The parts that make up the whole include high-caliber, vivid … Continue reading →

REVIEW – Finding Neverland – Broadway San Jose

Posted on April 19, 2018 by

When you order spaghetti in a restaurant and someone asks “How’s your spaghetti taste?” typically the response will be something resembling, “Well, it tastes like spaghetti.” I mean, how do you describe it? Spaghetti is … spaghetti-y. Rarely does one … Continue reading →

REVIEW- CRYSTAL -Cirque du Soleil

Posted on March 29, 2018 by

I’m a hockey girl. As a warm-natured, anti-winter, native Californian and a former competitive swimmer with an allegiance to water in its’ natural liquid state, admittedly it doesn’t make logical sense; but it’s the truth. One might assume that my … Continue reading →

REVIEW- The Little Mermaid – Broadway San Jose

Posted on September 27, 2017 by

I don’t consider myself a true fanatic about many things; 3-legged black cats, armadillos, dinosaurs, Jason Statham, REALLY good Crème Brulee… that’s about the sum total of things I throw a parade for. Oh and redheaded, singing MERMAIDS! Hear me … Continue reading →

REVIEW – The Many Faces of Farce – Stanford Repertory Theater

Posted on September 7, 2017 by

It should be noted that Chekhov and I have an on again, off again relationship. Well, it’s more of a Chekhon, Chekhov again. And, really it’s mostly Chekhov. I’ve tried. I’ve seen multiple productions of multiple plays over the last … Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2017 by

Full disclosure: I never read Lord of the Flies. It’s quite possible I was supposed to, but I don’t recall ever doing so. Perhaps it was not in the curriculum, or more likely, my own unintentional display or reckless rebellion. … Continue reading →

REVIEW – The Toxic Avenger – San Jose Stage

Posted on June 13, 2017 by

Do you remember hearing about that Musical Theater orgy between Little Shop of Horrors, Urinetown, and Hairspray that happened at a Bruce Springsteen concert? Well, probably not, mostly because I made it up just now as an illustrative device, but … Continue reading →

REVIEW – Cabaret – Broadway San Jose

Posted on June 8, 2017 by

I’ve seen Cabaret multiple times over the years and it’s always such a surprise to me. Not by the sexual content, that usually sticks out between viewings (no pun intended), but I still get caught completely off guard by the … Continue reading →

REVIEW – The Memory Stick – San Jose Stage

Posted on May 1, 2017 by

There are a few things I don’t like. I don’t like doing dishes. I don’t like mean people. I don’t like eggplant or olives. I don’t like hangnails. One of the things near the top of my don’t like list … Continue reading →
