‘Monsoon Wedding’ Review: Marriage of Musical Styles, With Mixed Results

The New York Times – Film:

Mira Nair’s 2001 movie about a couple brought together by their families becomes a song-filled pageant, with mixed results.

The New York Times – Film:

The Encores! production, directed by Lear deBessonet, looks to deepen and darken a musical that resists the change. But it’s still delightful.

The New York Times – Music:

The “Will & Grace” star is unrecognizable in a Broadway biography of Oscar Levant: wit, pianist and “Eeyore in a cheap suit.”

The New York Times – Music:

A countrified musical about corn, and filled with it, too, transplants itself to Broadway, with songs by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.

The New York Times – Music:

The 96-year-old composer of “Chicago” and “Cabaret” is making a brand-new start of it with “New York, New York,” his 16th Broadway musical.

The New York Times – Music:

A stage adaptation of the 1972 movie about a Jamaican singer turned outlaw hero sounds great but falls hard at the Public Theater.

The New York Times – Film:

Jamie Lloyd’s compelling, surgically precise revival of Ibsen’s 1879 drama throbs like an episode of “CSI: Norway.”

The New York Times – Music:

From “A Strange Loop” to “Funny Girl,” most Broadway musicals of 2022 were recorded, offering listeners a chance to love or hate them again.

The New York Times – Film:

A Broadway musical version of the Billy Wilder film finds exhilarating new ways to make the gender comedy sing.
