by Marc Checkley
- Apr 17, 2018
I confess, I'm an Anglophile and a huge fan of classic British children's literature: Swallows and Amazons, The Famous Five, Stig of the Dump and of course, Edith Nesbit's The Railway Children. So, it was exciting to find out this Edwardian classic was having its Swiss debut near Geneva.

Review: Sondheim's Musical PACIFIC OVERTURES Returns to Los Angeles After a 19-Year Absence
by Shari Barrett
- Dec 8, 2017
PACIFIC OVERTURES with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by John Weidman, with additional material by Hugh Wheeler had its Broadway premiere in 1976 and was presented in Kabuki style, with men playing women's parts and set changes made in full view of the audience by people dressed in black. It opened to mixed reviews and closed after six months, despite being nominated for 10 Tony Awards. Given the unusual casting and production demands, there is good reason why this remains one of the least-performed Sondheim musicals. So it's no wonder it has been 19 years since the musical has been presented in Los Angeles.
