Operation Mincemeat...

“I am tired of myself tonight,” laments the fatally vain title character in The Picture of Dorian Gray. “I should like to be somebody else.” Well, there are abundant somebody elses to choose from on Broadway this month, not only in the stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1891 novel, in which Sarah Snook plays 26 characters, but also in Operation Mincemeat, the farcical World War II musical in which five actors take on dozens of personas.

For an actor to change lickety-split between characters introduces an inherent playfulness, even a shared complicity, between audience and performer. We can’t pretend not to know that we’re watching something make-believe when we see a costume change take place before our eyes. And there’s an anarchic wink in common between these two productions—both celebrated London transfers—even as each show aims for something deeper than comic pandemonium.

The silliness sticks more...

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Opening night: March 27, 2025

Venue: Broadway’s Music Box Theatre

Written by: Oscar Wilde

Adapted and Directed by: Kip Williams

Performer: Sarah Snook

Camera Operators: clew, Luka Kain, Natalie Rich, Benjamin Sheen, Dara Woo

Running time: 2 hrs (no intermission)

Deadline’s takeaway: If only Oscar Wilde were alive to offer up a pithy description of Broadway’s playful The Picture of Dorian Gray starring the remarkable Succession actor Sarah Snook, because this is a production that most of us will need more than a few words to convey all of its exuberant theatrical dazzle.

Equal parts acting masterclass, tech wizardry, illusion and clockwork stage management, all costumed and set designed with the wit and color schemes of the most vivid Cindy Sherman photographs, Dorian Gray marks audacious Broadway debuts by both Snook and director-adaptor Kip Williams.

So what if the use of video cameras on stage is already bordering on cliché,...

The four-part docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, goes deep on the big-hair, big-sound band famous for such anthemic hits as “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Frontman Jon Bon Jovi talks about the project — and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group’s four-decade career. On Showing Both Highs and Lows “One thing we agreed upon on day one was this was not going to be a puff piece. There are [honest] moments of other [band members’] truths in the film; I wasn’t going to ask for them to be cut out. And I think that makes the bonds deeper — being able to truly speak the truth without fear of repercussion or bruised egos.” ©2011 David Bergman for http://www.TourPhotographer.com On Maturing as a Songwriter “At 20, when I got a record deal, I didn’t have a lot else to write about other than high school,...

In the midst of one of the cruelest summers the touring industry has had in decades, the Lilith Fair announced on Thursday that it was canceling 10 dates as a result of soft ticket sales.

The female-centric tour, headlined by founder Sarah McLachlan, made its return to amphitheaters after an 11-year layoff on Sunday in Calgary, but co-founder Terry McBride admitted in a statement that slow box office has forced him to pull a number of upcoming dates.

"We are in the midst of one of the most challenging summer concert seasons with many tours being cancelled outright," McBride said in a statement. "Everyone involved with the tour would like to apologize to the fans and artists scheduled to play in these markets,...
