Celebrating Impact: Sir Steve McQueen
I had not heard of Steve McQueen until 2013, yet he had been making waves and establishing his presence at least 20 years before that! But entirely typical of the invisibility of British minorities and their achievement, though he actually WON the Turner Prize for art in 1999, the media focused on another White nominee instead!

Purlie Victorious.
The problem with "Purlie Victorious" at The Music Box is two fold. The first problem is that director Kenny Leon has some of the actors at time inaudible; most strikingly so is Kara Young (Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins). While Leon reaches desperately for the laughs, many of the jokes are not heard among the audience and we are constantly playing catch up to try to hear where we are in this farce that at times is slow and flat. The second problem is that the play is confusing. We are never sure if we are in the early 60"s or whether we are at the turn of the 19th century.

In Defense of Classic Disney Princesses
I’m going to Disneyland Paris next year! I’ve already been about three times, but my Aunt Dawn really wants to go as she had never been. I was meant to be going with some friends in 2020 which of course never happened. At first I wasn’t that keen on going; it’s expensive and I’ve already been there many times and I feel like I’ve grown out of it.

Upcoming Broadway Season.
Robert M. Massimi. What will the fall bring to Broadway? After a disastrously bad 2022 fall, Broadway came out with some pretty good shows. "Some Like it Hot" was excellent and "Shucked" surprised everyone! "Bad Cinderella", "1776" and "Once Upon A One More Time" were awful and as such, closed early (1776 remained due to subscriptions). Another huge surprise was "Kimberly Akimbo"; winning the Tony was a big shot in the arm for this very good musical. "Sweeney Todd" too was a big upside surprise as was "A Beautiful Noise", the Neil Diamond musical.
