2024 Summer/Fall Presentations
Experience a “near-perfect
farce”: Steve Barnes reviewed “Boeing Boeing,”
which is running through August 3 at Barrington Stage Company in
Pittsfield, MA, and recounted “gales of laughter” from
the audience as the plot unfolded. The play stars Mark H. Dold,
Christopher Innvar and Debra Joe Rupp (maybe you’ve seen her
on “Friends,” “That ’70s Show” and
“That ’90s Show,” among other performances). Read
the review here, and get tickets.
Or experience something “impossible for most audiences not
to enjoy”: Steve’s been busy. He also reviewed “Legally
Blonde: The Musical,” which is running through August 11 at
Cohoes Music Hall. Read his review of “the funny, smart and
mildly cheeky show” which he says could be a recruiting tool
for aspiring young performers. Buy tickets here.
Rediscover “Rhapsody in Blue”: Gershwin’s iconic
piece is 100 years old. Celebrate with a performance from jazz
pianist Marcus Roberts at SPAC on August 1. Get tickets.
