Following the close of our 2009 seasonal share on Fire Island, the first weekend in October, my identical twin Ruth and I overcame our procrastination tendencies and immediately planned and booked a trip to Las Vegas for the sole purpose of seeing Bette Midler. This was to be a long overdue and well-deserved vacation. Due to our obligations and Bette’s schedule the first opportunity would be in January 2010. Book it Dano-we used the Internet, a new phenomenon for Ruth, and arranged flights-Jet Blue, hotel-The Mirage, tickets for Bette Midler-”The Showgirl Must Go On,” at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, as well as one of the eight Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil shows now playing in Vegas.

Franz Joseph Haydn’s “Il Mondo della Luna” (The World on the Moon) is Gotham’s latest production and it was stellar. The arguable luminary of the show was the Hayden Planetarium’s Zeiss Universarium projector, which made such beautiful star scapes in the early part of the ensnarement of our main character. When Universarium made its entrance, it was very 2001 (as in “Space Odyssey”). But let’s discuss the dramatis personae. Read more

“Two Jews Walk Into A War…” sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, and quite frankly it is. The bad joke is the central fact of this important new play by Seth Rozin. Playwright’s Theatre has mounted its first production of 2010 as part of a rolling world premiere that began in Manalapan, Florida, continued to Long Branch, New Jersey, and is presently in Madison, New Jersey, home to Playwright’s. The bad joke itself is that two of the last remaining Jews in Kabul, Read more
