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!

Wanted to share this link to my piece on You've Got Hate Mail running in the New York Post - you can find it clicking here.

As a teaser, here's the opening paragraph:

"'You've Got Hate Mail" is the perfect bedroom farce for an era in which there's more action online than in actual bedrooms. "

You'll find the new stuff in 'Culture' today (link at top right) - it's my thoughts on the installation at the New York Armory: Leonardo's Last Supper: A Vision by Peter Greenaway.

Until tomorrow...
