Noël Coward’s delightful, rarely produced 1925 comedy Fallen Angels is the sort of Broadway fare that gives critics ample reason to use descriptors like “fizzy” and “intoxicating” and “dizzying,” all apt in capturing the pleasures of its airy sophistication and raucous, gutbucket smart, rich-ladies-get-drunk laughs.

‘Cats: The Jellicle Ball’ Broadway Review: A Big, Beautiful Memory
An entirely convincing how-to guide in transforming (rescuing, even) well-trod, beloved material (and, yes, the musical that gave us “Memory” is beloved, every bit as much as it is mocked) into something bracing and resplendent, Cats: The Jellicle Ball is that rare thing: A classic stage property reimagined not as stark and gloomy minimalism (see […] More
