Tom Harrell Quintet
|
|
The “dream” reference in the trumpeter’s new Colors Of A Dream harks to his take on Dali’s esthetic, and at its most vivid Harrell’s spin on the hard bop lingo can claim several surreal moments. His working quintet brings a feisty punch to every stage it commands,... More >> |

ThreeASFOUR
|

Bird watching once conjured up images of tramping around in tweeds and breaking for tea and crumpets, but birding is surprisingly popular for a sport that became fashionable in Victorian England.

Final Analysis
|
|
|
Running in repertory with Breakfast with Mugabe, Otho Eskin’s play at Pershing Square also centers on a psychoanalyst—in this case Sigmund Freud and his prewar Viennese milieu. In this coffeehouse-set play, he’s joined by Gustav and Alma Mahler. Josef Stalin and a proto-Nazi,... More >> |

Kinky Boots

|
Some of us have quite enough trouble simply walking in six-inch stilettos. But to sing and dance and act in them? Really, someone should hand out honorary Tonys to the Kinky Boots cast just for trying. This new tuner draws its inspiration from a recent British film, itself based... More >> |
