  2. Looking ahead to the Tony Awards: An off year for musicals, but 'Once' deserves to win

    <strong>NEW YORK &mdash;</strong> What with "Ghost,""Lysistrata Jones" and other wearying disappointments, the 2012-13 Broadway season hardly will go down as a banner year for new American musicals. Indeed, should the best-musical Tony Award go, at Sunday night's ceremony, to a show other than "Once" or "Newsies" &mdash; the only remotely viable candidates for this most important of theatrical honors &mdash; the theater chatterati will be speechless and Tweetless. For a couple of seconds.

  3. On a rough night, Queen Elizabeth I hangs out with actors

    THEATER REVIEW: "Elizabeth Rex" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater &#9733;&#9733;&#9733; ... When faced with a dark night of the soul, the powerful often seek the sustenance of subordinates. Such juicy, on-the-cusp moments are hard for playwrights to resist.

  5. What exactly is Team StarKid?

    The door at the back of a Wilmette movie house cracked open. A young girl poked her head in. She spotted a half dozen or so twentysomethings standing amid the seats of an otherwise empty theater and her eyes grew wide. &ldquo;Wow! Hey! Team StarKid!&rdquo; she shouted, and the young theater troupe/Internet sensation/fledgling multi-platform entertainment juggernaut known as Team StarKid collectively turned. Embarrassed, the girl pulled her head out and the door banged shut. Team StarKid waved then turned back to talking about their friends and auditions and day jobs, their recent move to Chicago, whether their cars were being towed out front and how their latest soundtrack was doing on iTunes.

  8. Canadian actor Stephen Ouimette on being Harry in 'Iceman Cometh'

    Over lunch last week, I asked actor Stephen Ouimette, who is simply extraordinary as Harry Hope in Robert Falls' Goodman Theatre production of "The Iceman Cometh," how many seasons he has performed at the Stratford Festival in Canada, where he is a marquee name.

  9. Why Chicago needs bigger place on world's stage

    At its 25th summit in Chicago this weekend, NATO will be preoccupied with the tricky business of how to advance its various institutional priorities &mdash; like global security and the building of stability &mdash; even as its member nations are more worried about local recession and red ink. Austerity may abound across Europe and beyond, but NATO still says it intends for the Chicago summit to be the place where philosophical decisions taken at the Lisbon summit 18 months ago are turned into actual programs and initiatives.
