• Broadway’s Finest Comes To L.A. — Follies! Eric Schaeffer’s direction of Stephen Sondheim’s Follies is an utter triumph of performance, production, and play.

Driving to the Ahmanson, Thom reminded me that we saw the 2001 revival of Follies at [...]

• This Summer, Just Chill.   Growing up in the Valley, we learned a thing or two about summer. Like, make friends at school in the spring with kids who had pools. And save those nickels and dimes, because summer was made for Popsicles! And it only makes sense that this summertime favorite of kids of all ages was invented [...]

• Esperanza Spalding, “Hope” For Music Lovers I’m gonna be totally honest from the get-go: I knew hardly anything about until a few weeks before I saw her on Friday, September 30 at the Orpheum in downtown LA. I did know that every time I mentioned her name to WAVE listeners and friends, they would inevitably say, “Oh, that artist who beat [...]
