Scheck on the Arts

Couple of links to share this morning...

First, in the New York Post, my preview article about the Under the Radar festival that the Public Theater is offering over the next two weeks.  You'll find it by clicking here.

 And, over in the Hollywood Reporter, there's my review of the film Summer Wars.  That's accessible by clicking here.

Happy New Year!

Fresh start and is you're looking for something to do this first week of 2011 here are some reviews of shows that opened just at the end of 2010 that are worth checking out.

Here's a link to my review in the New York Post of Baby Universe that's running through this weekend....

Also running through the weekend is Mummenschanz which is at the Skirball Center.  You'll find that "Post" review here. 

Finally, in the 'Film' section of ScheckOnTheArts.com is my review of the documentary about Spalding Gray, And Everything Is Going Fine.  As always, you can reach it handily by clicking on 'Film' at the top right of the screen.

Today, links to my work in print.

First off, in the New York Post, there's a review of If That's All There Is, which is running at 59E59 as part of Brits Off-Brodway. You can read my thoughts by clicking here.

And in the Hollywood Reporter, there's my review of Prince's concert at the Garden.  That review is available here.

Here are links to a pair of reviews of two of the seasonal shows currently playing that I have in the New York Post today:

Black Nativity playing at the Theatre at St. Clement's
By the end, when the pastor delivers an impassioned sermon about the real meaning of Christmas, you'll be stirred to make a donation to the offering plate that greets you at the door.

A Child's Christmas in Wales playing at Irish Rep
All told, though, it's a charming 70-minute holiday diversion. By the end, when you're invited to sing along to Christmas tunes, you'll find it hard to resist.

Couple of concert things today.  First off, in the 'Theater' section here at ScheckOnTheArts.com, you'll find my thoughts on the Osmond show that's playing at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway. 

Then, over in the Hollywood Reporter, there's my review of Paul McCartney's show at the Apollo.  For that one, you can click here.

Have a great one!
