When word came out that Tony-winning comedy royal Dame Edna and cabaret star Michael Feinstein would be sharing the stage for new show All About Me, we were more than a little intrigued. If you too intrigued by this unlikely collaboration, take a look at what Word of Mouth panelists Kathleen, Tom and Matt had to say about the show ...

Don't you love farce? The first-ever Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's sweeping romantic comedy A Little Night Music officially returned to Broadway on December 13, bringing along a star-studded cast that includes Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones, five-time Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury, familiar Broadway faces like Aaron Lazar and Leigh Ann Larkin and dashing ...

The Radio City Rockettes have been part of New York City's holiday tradition for over 75 years, and they're showing no signs of slowing down. Combining signature high kicks with time-tested, crowd-pleasing production numbers, featuring everything from dancing nutcrackers to 3-D effects to a visit from Santa Claus, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is still going strong.

Almost no other playwright likes to stir the pot, figuratively speaking, as much as Pulitzer Prize-winning provocateur David Mamet.
